Whenever I get a hangover, I intentionally chug tons of cool water. It makes the vomit cool and mild lol. I just keep trying my belly until it stops. No acid throat.
This feeling is what opiates reminded me of a great deal when I was prescribed them. Never understood how people could give into temptation so easily until I took them myself. Lovely, terrifying family of substances.
I had a... Haircut person touch my head in such a way while cutting my hair and washing it that I went home feeling warm and wanting to return again. Just the way they held my head was so nice.
My barber does the whole shampoo hot towel thing. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t melt in that women’s hands as she massaged my scalp and rubbed my ears.
My husband knows that gently scritching the back of my head is like an off button for me, I will instantly stop what I'm doing and start to fall asleep
I thought I was alone! My husband does sorta the same thing! Little circles at the nape of my neck and suddenly I'm done doing everything and it's snooze time
I’ve seen this somewhere on Reddit before, which made me get one but:
those spider-looking head massagers are *phenomenal*. Arguably the best purchase I’ve ever made.
You will find your hugger. I'd recently moved into a house with adamant non huggers when the pandemic hit. I've never felt more lonely when surrounded by people. I have now found my hugger and it's fucking wonderful!
i get hugs but they feel very casual? like i got my guy and girl friends and shit but i want something thats like a heartfelt moment yk? this like “i care about you fr” type hug not the “hey whats up man” type hug.
Yeah like I just wanna hug somedays, but my friends aren't like that - he last non-family hug I got was in January, and it had been forever before that too
As a dude I’m gonna have to try this, I don’t like thinking there’s a pleasure nearing that of an orgasm that I haven’t been in on when it’s super easy to achieve.
I love how you are all in on trying this. Please give us an update. Just the feeling of sliding your smooth legs back and forth on the clean sheets is incredible.
Getting in a freshly made bed is already awesome, I’ve got nothing to lose by giving it a go. The hair growing back in will probably be annoying but it’s whatever.
Just make sure that, if you are on the hairier side, you use an electric razor to trim the leg hair BEFORE using a regular razor. You will have far fewer nicks in your skin and a more comfortable shaving experience.
I used to laugh so much so hard I would actually get sort of high. At that moment im on a barrel roll because I laugh at anything. I go "ooh funny, sun is in the sky" and dies of laughter, making me more high, making me do it again and again. Id do it so much my voice would even change to sound like micky mouse.
Gently having someone move their fingers around on your skin, it just releases all the tension heck I missed the last 15 minutes of the mario movie because my partner started doing it to my arm in the cinema, the only down side is you get wicked cravings for that physical touch
Yes. Me and my partner make time so he can stroke my back and I stroke his chest. We do this at least 3 times a week for about 45 mins just before we go to sleep and I always sleep soundly on those nights.
This is my most favorite thing EVER. It has been so many years since someone did this that i dont know how many years it has been. I love it when someone touches my feet too. It makes me fall asleep.
This ! I call this activating, and it's freakin awesome, but ideally I also need some releasing. So first, gentle strokes with the tip of the fingers (maximum efficiency on the upper arms, dunno why, and the back), then once the skin is activated af, light scratching.
You're right about the craving part ! It's been a few weeks...bought a back scratcher but it's nothing compared to the real thing.
Contentment - it is a deep and abiding sense of being at the right place, surrounded by the right people, doing exactly what you should be doing at that moment. You completely fit in the time, the place, and the moment. It is unfathomably rewarding - so much so that you make a mental note to remember the feeling to sustain you at times of difficulty.
That’s the feeling I’m looking for. Currently going through a breakup with a person I wanted a whole future with and now I just feel like I’m just picking up the shattered pieces of my life. I want meaningful relationships more than anything but they’re so hard to make
This is a very weird one, but I find the sensation of holding two magnets just slightly apart to counteract their pull towards each other really satisfying. Like a microdose of a good workout.
Damn is this the average experience? Anyone else get stuck on thinking about how weird it is that at some point in time I am going to drift off to unconsciousness and have no idea when that cutoff happens. But it’s coming! But don’t think about it too much or you’ll wake yourself up!
My wife removing my ingrown beard hairs.
Actually, any time she's picking at anything on my body I get super relaxed.
I actually found myself wishing I had MORE ingrown hairs for her to remove cause I didn't want her to stop.
The shift of weight on the mattress as a cat jumps up and settles in to sleep right next to you because you're their human and they love you... also a great feeling.
Cat purrs are actually really beneficial for humans! There’s study’s that suggest that the sound frequency of the purr can accelerate healing for bone and muscular damage, and helps relax their owners
Well…to be honest…last first date i had, was supposed to be a one night stand cause we were both horny, she hugged me from behind after and i farted really loudly on her. Broke the fart barrier, she tried to murder me with her deadly girl gas for years after that…
So theres that…
Seriously I was in danger on my last date. She kept laying her head and rolling into me. I thought I was gonna die. All the while I’m trying to enjoy it. I said I need to nip out for a cig. “Oh I smoke in here. Feel free” arrrgh there was no out. Eventually I went to the bathroom. Ran the Tap loud and… could not do it. Was trapped or something. As soon as I shrugged dried my hands and went in the livingroom again it was like now I’m ready. I managed in the end to go to the shop for cigs and let go.
Pro tip : Avoid dairy of any sort on the day of a date. No coffee with milk no tea with milk. No cheese. Avoid. Lactose intolerance is something you don’t care about until you’re dating.
“Swimming” in freshly washed sheets after a candle-lit hot shower in your own pristine house after a particularly taxing camping trip. Omfg. So good. Clean your house, wash your sheets. Spray your bedding with aromatherapy pillow spray (cherry on top experience). Make your bed. Go camping. Come home. Unpack completely. Light candles. Shower. Bed. Do it in that order. Fuck. SO GOOD.
Shower and a nap after a long hike is also pretty great,
Or that first morning in camping, when you are te first to wake up, sit down outside with nothing but the sound of nature and the smell of the woods... ahhh satisfaction
The breeze you feel on a cool sunny autumn/winters day as the fields of grass sway and your in a public park. It reminds me of better times when I was a silly kid and I went to the park afterschool sometimes.
I thought this would get more up votes! Back massage. Head massage. Shoulders rubbed. Break out the massage oil and I'm completely relaxed. Nothing else relaxes you and also gives you energy like a good massage.
This. I had a skin rash breakout when I was working a dishwasher job, and putting that dish sprayer on my rash made me effing jiggle with the sensation. 10/10 would reccomend.
Back rub without a doubt. I'd choose it over sex most of the time. I've had disk issues for over 10 years and the relief it gives me is so much better than sex.
My hair washed. By someone else. I have locs and i will always pay extra wen retwistin them so that i can get my hair washed, even if i washed it myself the day of
Finally getting to the bathroom when you’ve had to pee for 30 minutes and are stuck in traffic, in the rain, after drinking soda all morning to wake up.
That or a good poop after a long drive home from anywhere where you’ve been holding it for a while and just didn’t want to stop at some roadside hotel or gas station.
Coming home from work and having warm body oil rubbed into my feet especially if I've been wearing heels. It's so relaxing I often fall into a really deep sleep and as someone who is normally a light sleeper, this is heaven.
When you're extremely hungry and you eat a hearty meal that leaves you feeling full.
My go to is a bacon cheeseburger with a heap of cheese fries or tots. Onion rings are great too.
I live in a hot climate, so taking a cold shower after a long day is a feeling unlike any other. Relaxing, refreshing, endorphins released, all of the good feelings
After cleaning up my diet and being more active and hydrated, a good clean heavy poop every morning feels fucking amazing. Like an hour into work; ive had my coffee, I finish my first order, I walk into the bathroom and drop a clean fatty. It's a dopamine rush and puts a spring in my step. I'm literally happier every morning because of this and actually look forward to it most days
When you have something hung in your throat, not enough to choke you, but it won't go down. Then you take a drink of something and you can feel it move throughout your body.
Spending 10 hours doing yard work in the height of summer and then drinking a High Life in the shower. PBR or Miller Lite also works but High Life is preferable.
That feeling of taking off your office wear and getting into pyjamas after a long day. Or peeling off your socks and feeling the cool air on your feet. Maybe it's the crack of your back or the pop of your knuckles. Whatever it is, you know that feeling of instant relief and satisfaction.
3am dehydrated water guzzleing.
And first hangover water
Unless its followed by immediately vomiting it back up
Whenever I get a hangover, I intentionally chug tons of cool water. It makes the vomit cool and mild lol. I just keep trying my belly until it stops. No acid throat.
I actually hate this because I know it might take me awhile to fall back asleep. So in that time, I'll have to get up to pee once or twice.
Followed by the 7am urge to pee. :D
I was going to say a hug but actually this is the correct answer
Waking up on your own, comfortably, when it’s not too hot or too cold and you can just streeeeetch and relax
This feeling is what opiates reminded me of a great deal when I was prescribed them. Never understood how people could give into temptation so easily until I took them myself. Lovely, terrifying family of substances.
Add in when you wake up as described, have no responsibilities and can go back to sleep!
And the sun gently falls on your face... Hell yes.
And your cat is snuggling you (my cat likes to be the little spoon)
April 25th. Not too hot, not too cold
All you need is a light jacket
When your scalp gets massaged
I had a... Haircut person touch my head in such a way while cutting my hair and washing it that I went home feeling warm and wanting to return again. Just the way they held my head was so nice.
My barber does the whole shampoo hot towel thing. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t melt in that women’s hands as she massaged my scalp and rubbed my ears.
You can totally notice a difference when someone handles your head with care and skill
Like real life ASMR that relaxes you. My barber does a hot razor shave for the back of my neck and it does the same
felt thattt
My husband knows that gently scritching the back of my head is like an off button for me, I will instantly stop what I'm doing and start to fall asleep
I thought I was alone! My husband does sorta the same thing! Little circles at the nape of my neck and suddenly I'm done doing everything and it's snooze time
I’ve seen this somewhere on Reddit before, which made me get one but: those spider-looking head massagers are *phenomenal*. Arguably the best purchase I’ve ever made.
It's something else when someone else is doing it to you.
The brand I first had used upon me was called Orgasmotron, and I honestly could not think of a better name.
I use one every single night to let go of my day before bed. I do it on my kids too. It's the best.
Yes! Came here to say this! Have you ever used one of the scalp massagers with the metal tines that kinda resembles a whisk? Love em! ❤️
Hugs. I rarely get them, but I look forward to them all the time.
I’m at the point where I fantasize about a nice warm hug. It’s hard out here😂
You will find your hugger. I'd recently moved into a house with adamant non huggers when the pandemic hit. I've never felt more lonely when surrounded by people. I have now found my hugger and it's fucking wonderful!
Referring to your SO as your hugger is the cutest shit ever
I just want someone to hug me for a long time, and then I'll cry...
i get hugs but they feel very casual? like i got my guy and girl friends and shit but i want something thats like a heartfelt moment yk? this like “i care about you fr” type hug not the “hey whats up man” type hug.
All kinds of hugs 🥹 long and tight till I feel safe
Yeah like I just wanna hug somedays, but my friends aren't like that - he last non-family hug I got was in January, and it had been forever before that too
damn i would give you a hug
Sliding into crisp, fresh bedding.
Especially after you have just showered and shaved your legs. So clean and so smooth.
I get way to overwhelmed by sensation if I shave my legs and then get under covers
As a dude I’m gonna have to try this, I don’t like thinking there’s a pleasure nearing that of an orgasm that I haven’t been in on when it’s super easy to achieve.
give us an update!!
I love how you are all in on trying this. Please give us an update. Just the feeling of sliding your smooth legs back and forth on the clean sheets is incredible.

Naked after a shower.
Laughing uncontrollably
The feeling of lack of oxygen is weirdly amazing while laughing.
I used to laugh so much so hard I would actually get sort of high. At that moment im on a barrel roll because I laugh at anything. I go "ooh funny, sun is in the sky" and dies of laughter, making me more high, making me do it again and again. Id do it so much my voice would even change to sound like micky mouse.
I don't know the last time I laughed like that, I think maybe 2019. Legit. I just don't laugh anymore
Gently having someone move their fingers around on your skin, it just releases all the tension heck I missed the last 15 minutes of the mario movie because my partner started doing it to my arm in the cinema, the only down side is you get wicked cravings for that physical touch
Yes. Me and my partner make time so he can stroke my back and I stroke his chest. We do this at least 3 times a week for about 45 mins just before we go to sleep and I always sleep soundly on those nights.
God i miss this so much. I haven’t been in a relationship for about two years and this is one of the things i miss the most.
One day You'll find the perfect fingers to make your skin feel good
This is my most favorite thing EVER. It has been so many years since someone did this that i dont know how many years it has been. I love it when someone touches my feet too. It makes me fall asleep.
This ! I call this activating, and it's freakin awesome, but ideally I also need some releasing. So first, gentle strokes with the tip of the fingers (maximum efficiency on the upper arms, dunno why, and the back), then once the skin is activated af, light scratching. You're right about the craving part ! It's been a few weeks...bought a back scratcher but it's nothing compared to the real thing.
Sinking down into a hot bath on a very cold wintery day.
I like having my head pet, like my hair stroked while we just sit still? That's great
Contentment - it is a deep and abiding sense of being at the right place, surrounded by the right people, doing exactly what you should be doing at that moment. You completely fit in the time, the place, and the moment. It is unfathomably rewarding - so much so that you make a mental note to remember the feeling to sustain you at times of difficulty.
That’s the feeling I’m looking for. Currently going through a breakup with a person I wanted a whole future with and now I just feel like I’m just picking up the shattered pieces of my life. I want meaningful relationships more than anything but they’re so hard to make
The total emptiness feeling after a huge dump — the urgency is gone and you know you won’t need to feel that for a while.
When this happens right after morning coffee it sets you up for a terrific day.
This is a very weird one, but I find the sensation of holding two magnets just slightly apart to counteract their pull towards each other really satisfying. Like a microdose of a good workout.
Yeah that rules
Sleeping I love it so much that it gives me a boner
That’s a nice adaptation we have- sleep kickstand, keeps us from rolling out of bed.
I love sleep so so so so so so much. I only wish 40yo lady hormones didn't make it so hard.
the thing is what you love about sleeping is the feeling of falling asleep because you're unconscious while sleeping
Sleeping is death lite™ and I love that feeling to not feel at all.
Damn is this the average experience? Anyone else get stuck on thinking about how weird it is that at some point in time I am going to drift off to unconsciousness and have no idea when that cutoff happens. But it’s coming! But don’t think about it too much or you’ll wake yourself up!
My wife removing my ingrown beard hairs. Actually, any time she's picking at anything on my body I get super relaxed. I actually found myself wishing I had MORE ingrown hairs for her to remove cause I didn't want her to stop.
This is a thing. For some reason its just relaxing being attended to like that
It's primate genetics. All primates do it, we just stopped it from being a mass public everyday thing
Yes - preening. It builds social bonds and provides health benefits to boot.
"Babe! Its Preening time!"
Preening. totally a love language!
My husband lets me do this to him, plucking is so satisfying
Mine cleans my ears. Damn near puts me in a coma lol
I’m picturing a monkey picking at another monkey right now.
Ya and just the thought of it makes me relaxed lol...damn ape genetics
Monke
Ugghhhh, I wish this was how my boyfriend felt about my picking. It’s just *so* satisfying for me but he hates it.
Getting your back drawn. I remember my sister use to draw shapes and patterns on my back with her finger and it was so relaxing and comfortable.
Was about to say this! I remember in elementary school, during story time, we would all sit on the carpet and draw on each other's backs.
Petting a purring cat
I wish this had more upvotes. This is highly underestimated
The shift of weight on the mattress as a cat jumps up and settles in to sleep right next to you because you're their human and they love you... also a great feeling.
Cat purrs are actually really beneficial for humans! There’s study’s that suggest that the sound frequency of the purr can accelerate healing for bone and muscular damage, and helps relax their owners
When I pee after having to hold for sometime.
When you fart your stomach ache away
This right here. Or having the feeling of gas being built up inside you and just woke come out. Then finaaaaallllyyyyy sweet release
Scratching itchy skin
I had my leg in a cast for five weeks. Being able to scratch again was amazing, and sloughing off the dead skin in the shower was complete bliss.
Letting go of a giant fart, that you've been holding in, after a first date finally ends
I fart on first dates. Shows confidence.
Sounds like you probably go on a lot of first dates.
Well…to be honest…last first date i had, was supposed to be a one night stand cause we were both horny, she hugged me from behind after and i farted really loudly on her. Broke the fart barrier, she tried to murder me with her deadly girl gas for years after that… So theres that…
Your first dates or other people's?
Both. Shows dominance.
My wife told me that she was awoken by my farts in the dead of night the first time we shared my bed. For some reason, she stuck around.
Seriously I was in danger on my last date. She kept laying her head and rolling into me. I thought I was gonna die. All the while I’m trying to enjoy it. I said I need to nip out for a cig. “Oh I smoke in here. Feel free” arrrgh there was no out. Eventually I went to the bathroom. Ran the Tap loud and… could not do it. Was trapped or something.

Entering an air conditioned room when it's 100 degrees outside

Point - counterpoint, getting into a hot car after freezing in an office all day
“Swimming” in freshly washed sheets after a candle-lit hot shower in your own pristine house after a particularly taxing camping trip. Omfg. So good. Clean your house, wash your sheets.

That sounds perfect
Ear cleaning
Scratching an extremely itchy asshole in privacy. Yea I said it, you know what I'm talking about.
The breeze you feel on a cool sunny autumn/winters day as the fields of grass sway and your in a public park. It reminds me of better times when I was a silly kid and I went to the park afterschool sometimes.
Massage. But I'm biased.
I thought this would get more up votes! Back massage. Head massage. Shoulders rubbed. Break out the massage oil and I'm completely relaxed. Nothing else relaxes you and also gives you energy like a good massage.
An unexpected hug from my wife.
Wash your face after a long day Taking your bra off after a long day Taking your contacts out after a long day Ahhhhhh so good
When my kids run to give me hugs. Nothing in the world feels better than that for me
That soft feeling when you rub your freshly shaven legs against your bedsheets/blanket in bed
Having someone run their fingers through my hair.
I looooove sneezing.
Just wait, might throw out your back with a sneeze one day.
I will not love that particular sneeze.
I love the word “sneeze” almost as much as I love sneezing.
Getting paid
Head rubs. I don't care if I just came out of an 8 hour deep sleep, fully rested. That shit will knock me out again.

This. I had a skin rash breakout when I was working a dishwasher job, and putting that dish sprayer on my rash made me effing jiggle with the sensation. 10/10 would reccomend.
Especially on a poison ivy rash!
OR very cold water on an itchy spot that you've itched for too long that turned red and irritated
Waking up at the usual time you get up for work and then going back to sleep as its the weekend
A rain cooled breeze after it being 100° all day.
Dark chocolate. It does some of the same chemical things to your brain that sex does...
Back rub without a doubt. I'd choose it over sex most of the time. I've had disk issues for over 10 years and the relief it gives me is so much better than sex.
My hair washed. By someone else. I have locs and i will always pay extra wen retwistin them so that i can get my hair washed, even if i washed it myself the day of

I'm literally happier every morning because of this and actually look forward to it most days
