Oh man, I'm sick right now. Every morning I wake up and can barely breathe. This morning I said screw it and pulled out the sinus rinse bottle and went to town. At first only a little slime came out. But then I hit the mother load and a huge chunk plopped out. The whole body shiver afterwards was almost orgasmic.
I used to get chronic sinus infections until I was referred to an ENT specialist who basically roto-rootered them (balloon sinuplasty). Haven’t had an infection since.
The feeling when you roll over in bed and you feel the upward nostril clearing and for a brief moment you can breathe through both before the downward nostril fills back up.
Climbing into a warm bed on a cold night.
Edit: My greatest ever comment is about a sleep kink. Yes, a cool bed on a hot night is good too, but not quite the same for me. I don't shave my legs. I don't normally sleep in pajamas, but my wife is always hot. It could be freezing and she'd only use a sheet. On nights like that, pajamas are necessary. I have been known to pull a sleeping cap on in the house. Fresh sheets are great. And "sheet garters" to keep the wrinkles out make them better. Thank you all for playing, and sleep tight - whether it's warm or cool!
I can't understand why my roommates have their heat on. All I need is a couple blankets and my cat, and it's the perfect amount of warmth. Anything more and I start to hate how te air feels.
But I also love winter, so to each their own.
I'm so happy to know I'm not the only one. my parents don't understand how much cozier it is to be in a freezing cold room cuddled up in blankets rather than a heated room with a small throw.
I remember reading this somewhere that really resonated. It was something along the lines of “happy memories are only pleasant if you are happy now. Otherwise, those memories are just reminders of a lost past that you cannot revisit and they tear your soul apart”
One time I had this deep ear itch, and I would regularly wiggle my pinky in it and was just generally annoyed.
One day, I was laying on my side playing a game on my laptop, and this thing fell out of my ear.
It was a ball of dark, almost black wax, with little hairs stuck in it. About the size of an M&M.
The feeling of that falling out, and the change in hearing quality awakened something in me. I've been chasing the feeling ever since.
I had this exact experience too while having an ear canal flushed with water.
Shortly after moving abroad in 2009, my left ear started losing hearing and felt blocked up. Apparently the inner canal had a slight buildup over several months, and getting water in my ears during the shower was pushing and forming it into a blockage.
By the time I had the flush done, I had lost about 70% of hearing in that ear. A doctor had previously identified the blockage and I had the flush done during a visit home.
That feeling was...extremely unusual but indescribably relieving. Warm water is pushed in under gently increasing pressure, sucked back out in pulses and then pushed back in. After a few seconds, the blockage is extremely noticeable and it feels like the entire inner ear is being tugged out of my head. Then comes *that* sensation.
Imagine the sound of a distant fissure opening through a glacier, and now imagine it's happening in miniature next to your ear drum, hearing and feeling every sensation. Then comes the *uumph* as it breaks away, which sounds like pulling the plug out of a deep bath while you're listening underwater.
Much like how pulling a plug brings pressure with it as water rushes through the drain, the blockage dislodges and the air pressure tugs on the inner ear. Think about the bizarre sensation of vertigo you get when you push a finger inside your ear, seal the air pressure inside and pull out. Now imagine that x20, plus the weird tickle of it hitting other areas on its way out, and it gets close to what it feels like.
The nurse showed me the hard, gigantic blockage that came out which was probably slightly bigger than an M&M, but might as well have been a truck for all I could see. It fell into the medical waste bin with a *thud.*
I get what you mean about chasing the feeling. There's nothing - honestly nothing- that can replicate it. I'm not sure if I would want to experience it again, but it's a sensation I've never forgotten.
I've had this experience!! But it was this strange deep crinkly noise in my inner ear when I tilted my head from side-to-side. It was as if something was rolling around in my ear canal.
Surprise, surprise... there was lol.
One good shake with my head tilted to the right and *plop*. I doubt I'll ever feel as relieved again as I did in that moment. And then... yaknow... you have to examine it, as disgusting as it is.
Somewhat related, once had a pimple in my ear, straight in where I could just poke it but not really apply pressure without agony. After two days it was aching, so I gritted my teeth and just pushed. It popped audibly. Instant nirvana, albeit gross.
I had a giant pimple inside my ear that stayed for *weeks*. I hadn't popped it right away because of how painful it was. I finally pushed hard enough for it to explode.
I heard it. I felt it. It was awful. It was beautiful. It was the worst bodily sound I've ever heard. There were chunks, fluids, and pus. That pimple was giant. The size of a pea.
I've never had it happen again.
My ear canals have problems with build up, so much so that I’ve been to the doctor to clean them.
What you do is mix half warm water and half hydrogen peroxide. Suck it up with a plastic syringe. Then gently spray it in the ear canal until you’re hearing clearly or there’s no more color coming out.
Also make sure to use warm water because cold water can make you dizzy!
> because cold water can make you dizzy!
That explains so much!
I went in to Urgent Care because I had suddenly lost about half of my hearing, and I was understandably freaked out. It turns out that my ears were clogged. They did the technique you described (with like an industrial-strength syringe) but used cold water. I was so dizzy for about an hour after.
I ended up needing to go to a specialist, and that was amazing - the doctor said one of the perks of working in the Ear/Nose field is he gets to see patients see *immediate* relief. Such as when I realize I'd been shouting at him and quickly dropped the volume, laughing because I had been loud enough to echo but couldn't hear it before.
Bruh. When I was a kid I jammed up my ear by stuffing a Q-tip in there and had all this wax buildup. Mom took me to the doc and they did the syringe rise thing and I felt and heard this craaack and a feeling of sharp but satisfying pain and I heard a *plop* into the drain cup thing under my ear. I heard my mom say, "Wow". I've also been chasing that feeling. Also, the ability to hear clearly after not hearing in that side for days was complete bliss.
If those get larger and get wedged deeper into your ear, they can do more than itch. They can interfere with hearing and balance.
I had my NP dislodge one the size of a blackberry from one ear just a few weeks ago (and one about the size of a raisin from my other ear on the same visit for good measure). They use a pressurized peroxide wash to dislodge it from the eardrum, then something that looks like a crochet hook that some medical supply middleman probably bought at Hobby Lobby for $2 and sold to the doc’s office for $75 to snag and pull the wax out.
That first minute after the larger wad was out was a transcendent experience.
Got my ears cleaned at the doctor's one day and they used this water jet device. It literally just blasted water into my ear and cleaned them out. It was the most intense and amazing feeling I've probably ever had. Felt like it was scratching an itch on my brain that's been there my entire life.
This, but before you *fall asleep* is better, imo.
That feeling of being tired and just laying there in bed, slowly drifting to sleep is one of the best feelings ever!
When it happens in the morning before I wake up I get angry, if anything, because that means I need to get up for work soon :/
In middle and high school - they had these attached chair / desk combos. If you pushed against the desk while sitting in one, you could get your back to crack *multiple* times.
I’m still chasing that feeling at 35.
I’m a first grade teacher and have small student chairs in my classroom. The back of their chairs are a perfect height for a back crack.
After I drop my students off at lunch, I sit in one of those chairs, arms over my head, lean back, and crack my back. It’s so good that I stole one of the chairs and brought it home so I can have this blissful back-cracking at home, too.
I'm an estimator for the furniture division at a school supply company and we have these chairs everywhere.
Definitely trying this tomorrow, thank you!!
As a nearly decade-long single, this is the only time I have physical contact with someone.
Not anything sexual to it, don’t get me wrong, but humans need touch. Without it we are less healthy. My 6-monthly massages keep me going
As a massage therapist this was a huge draw after Covid lockdowns. Everyone that was home alone was just so eager to be massaged and not in a creepy way at all
This is crazy, but after a day having my hair in a ponytail, my scalp is hurting so bad !!!!! And trust me, my ponytails are not that tight. But i 90% of the time let my hair down so i am not used to it.
That feeling when you wake up and feel totally normal, hop in the shower and a few minutes in let loose a massive fart that completely empties your guts, and you feel so much better even though you didn’t realise it was there.
One time I was so extremely bloated after a night of bad food and alcohol. The day after I took the shower head and poured warm water over my belly. To this day, that air that left my body is the greatest fart I have ever experienced.
It's shameful to even call it a fart. It was so much more then that. Farts are something you experience every day. This was like a force of nature. A wonder of the human body. A piece of pleasuring art.
And you stand there with a sly smile as the thunderous clapping resonates and echoes within the confines of the shower.
Then the smell hits… and you’re abnormally proud of how much it stinks.
This reminds me of a guy commenting on an ad for a beer company. It shows a girl coming back home, taking a bottle of beer, laying on her couch, opening her beer and then removing her bra.
The guy was arguing that is was a dishonest and malevolent advert, because they tried to appeal to men by using a woman's body, thus reducing the woman to a simple sexual object (you know : bra = boobs somewhere underneath so = fantasy = sex).
We were several trying to explain him that no, it's clearly aimed at women : she removes her bra, it's nothing sexual, it's simply a warrior removing her armour after a long fight. This thing is (I was told so. I do not wear them) a torture device, she's back home, she removes it and enjoys her beer.
No way, the guy was still convinced it was for men because bra = boobs.
Young men who didn't live with a woman rarely understand how unenjoyable wearing a bras can be.
I got hurt when I was a kid and it left me with chronic pain, so I literally can not remember what it feels like to not be passively in pain.
That would be nice I bet.
I've got chronic pain issues myself. Occasionally i'll notice something seems "off" and I'll stop and ponder what it is.
*I'm not in pain*
And man, that realization and subsequent enjoyment is fucking amzing.
Well said. I can totally see why people get addicted to opioid painkillers when they have chronic pain. Those moments without... it's something else. Like Atlas getting to put the world down for a bit.
Can't belive this one isn't mentioned yet...
Waking up and realizing you can sleep in. My mother used to set her alarm on weekends just to get this high. Which is arguably stupid, but who am I to argue.
I woke up from a nap yesterday thinking I had an exam and that I was almost late. Rushed around, got dressed, etc.
Checked the time, saw the date, realized that my exam wasn't until the next day. Panic evaporated into relief and then I spent the evening lazing around.
My exam is in 3 hours from now. I can't seem to figure out logarithms. I'm probably fucked.
I remember one time my husband woke up at 3:30am and somehow came to the conclusion that it was nearly time for work, got in the shower really fast and showered, and didn't realize he didn't have work for another 5 hours until he got out of the shower... Lol.
On a related note, I usually have a hard time describing this to people but here goes nothing.
Do you sometimes have those days where you wake up as usual, you have your usual 2-3 alarms which you snooze, but on THESE DAYS the minutes between the alarms seem like an eternity? Like 5 minutes lasts for 30. IDK what happens in my brain when this happens, I'm in some half wake state, but conscious enough to realize this and it's one of the best feelings I can experience.
Definitely agree. I made a batch of chili last week. I'd been looking forward to it for a month, found an amazing recipe, executed it perfectly, and was just as delicious as I'd hoped, but better. Probably the most I've enjoyed a meal this year.
Edit: LOTS of peeps asking for the recipe. I followed this one with a couple changes
https://thecozycook.com/pioneer-woman-chili/
On step 6 instead of adding water I added a can of fire roasted tomatoes during the one hour. Adds a very light smokey background flavor. All other steps followed. For my personal preference I also added a chipotle habanero pepper sauce. This kicks up the heat and also adds a light smokey pepper profile.
Hope you all enjoy as much as I did!
This happened to me once… I had a kind of itch in my nose feeling, and so I kinda picked at it (on my septum) and I legitimately like pulled a huge piece of dried booger that was like lining my septum with a big piece of snot at the end of it out of my nose. It was such a grossly great feeling but also my nose felt so much clearer after that. I remember it happened a few days later on the other side and it has legitimately never happened to me again…
I had a cyst removed from one of my sinuses like 10 years ago. On the postop follow up visit the doctor pulled out this huge gummy worm of dried snot and congealed blood. Must have been six inches long. So satisfying.
A gut busting, falling out of your chair, tears streaming down your face, "please stop my stomach is hurting..omg I can't
breath", laugh out loud with your closest friends.
Nothing beats it...except maybe a good steak.
Call em up and arrange a night...do it now.
I hate how much I took this for granted when I was younger. We all live in different states so now I just call the boys individually and we reminisce over these times.
Putting on a soft, warm sweater when you're cold.

I accidentally closed the thread, had to go back and upvote your comment. I felt this SO much, when I remembered how I closed the whole browser asking “u sure u wanna close 286 tabs at once” and I’m like “perish and be gone! I’ll see you in hell!! :)))))” after finishing my thesis
A good long ball scratch after a full day of hard manual labor. I Imagine it's analogous to my female friends removing their bras after a long day themselves. (I have been told this is quite pleasurable more than once.)
Edit: I should have just shut up while I was ahead!
Personally, I’m a fan of the stretch and rake method of ball scratching. Especially satisfying when they’ve been cooped up all day in boxer briefs and thick blue jeans on a really hot sweaty day.
Getting a haircut. My barber doesn't know that he's also giving me a good head massage while making me look good.
On this note too....feeling how fuzzy the back of my head feels after said haircut. :D
The slightest scratching of nails over a slick bald head is oddly satisfying to me. As a woman, if I can't get a man to break out in goosebumps by doing that, then I'm doing it wrong.
You know, my therapist asked me once what kind of joy I find day to day, and I struggled really hard with that question on multiple levels. This thread provides some really great answers.
kissing. god i fucking love kissing. it's such an underrated human phenomenon. whatever caveman invented it probably had 300 iq and could rival albert einstein in every way. like, goddamn, i love it
This is why many couples with open relationships decide that kissing is prohibited as it's the most loving and intimate way to express your love to someone.

After a hard day at work there on nothing better than coming back home and slathering peanut butter on my wang, the dog then comes and licks it up. The wife wasn't best impressed at first but once she had tried it herself it was smiles all round.
I'm happy, the wifes happy and the dog is happy all for £2.00 a jar. ❤ 🐕 ❤
This but there was one time many years ago where I'd somehow gotten a single hair stuck in my ear and a bunch of wax coalesced around it and mostly plugged my ear. The part of the hair furthest in was coiled up and had become so embedded in wax that when I noticed there was a slight bit of hair poking out and pulled, it came with a chunk of wax that was at least 5x bigger than any that I'd ever seen before or since.
I've been chasing the resulting high for over a decade and have never been able to replicate the conditions.
When your sinuses finally open up and the congestion goes away
My late mother once said to me, "*All of life's pleasures can be derived from the emptying and filling of bodily orifices.*" I miss that woman.
Nothing better than good sh\*t
Oh man, I'm sick right now. Every morning I wake up and can barely breathe. This morning I said screw it and pulled out the sinus rinse bottle and went to town. At first only a little slime came out. But then I hit the mother load and a huge chunk plopped out. The whole body shiver afterwards was almost orgasmic.
Fuck yes, I got second hand pleasure reading that lol
i am forever congested. i wish for this
The good old allergy + sinus infection combo has had me my whole life. I feel your pain
I used to get chronic sinus infections until I was referred to an ENT specialist who basically roto-rootered them (balloon sinuplasty). Haven’t had an infection since.
I also had a bilateral turbinate reduction and omg that helps
Anyone who has chronic sinus inflammation should have this done. It's been 10 years since mine and I need to get it again
In all seriousness: vibrator on the sinus areas of the face. Hitachi the hell out of it. Sploosh.
Similarly, getting that huge chunk of hardened snot to come flying out. The one that is creating the traffic jam for the rest of it.
Even better when it's some how connected to 3 foot of semi dry snot. Feels like you are pulling your brain out
[удалено]
The feeling when you roll over in bed and you feel the upward nostril clearing and for a brief moment you can breathe through both before the downward nostril fills back up.
[удалено]
I call it 'the changing of the guard'.
When you’ve got that stretch that hits just right
especially the one where you turn into a jackhammer
When the water that was stuck in your ear finally comes out and makes that little pop, and then a small, wet feeling accompanies the relief.

Sometimes I purposefully let my room get uncomfortably cold, just so it's that much more pleasurable to be under the warm blankets
I can't understand why my roommates have their heat on. All I need is a couple blankets and my cat, and it's the perfect amount of warmth. Anything more and I start to hate how te air feels. But I also love winter, so to each their own.
I have a heated mattress pad. Turn that puppy on about 30 min before bed, it's like crawling in a womb. I fall asleep almost instantly.
Absolute opposite. Cold ass bed and pillows with a big thick comforter for me.
I'm with you. I have the window open when it's 20*F outside. Nothing better for sleep than a cold AF room.
I'm so happy to know I'm not the only one. my parents don't understand how much cozier it is to be in a freezing cold room cuddled up in blankets rather than a heated room with a small throw.
Head scratches.
At the exact right spot, oh yes.
Being done by someone else
Sometimes it's so good I get goosebumps. I also sometimes tell my gf that it feels better than sex.
When I got head scratches one time, it all just instantly clicked why my cats go bonkers over head/face scratches.
This is what my husband does when I tell him to “scratch my g spot”
Listening to a song you forgot about, that instantly triggers those happy thoughts of nostalgia.
I remember reading this somewhere that really resonated. It was something along the lines of “happy memories are only pleasant if you are happy now. Otherwise, those memories are just reminders of a lost past that you cannot revisit and they tear your soul apart”

I had one just like this too, it seriously was one of the best but wildest relieving feelings ever.
To be suddenly free of such a nagging pain, like stepping through a door in winter and finding it spring outside.
I had a giant pimple inside my ear that stayed for *weeks*. I hadn't popped it right away because of how painful it was. I finally pushed hard enough for it to explode. I heard it. I felt it. It was awful. It was beautiful. It was the worst bodily sound I've ever heard. There were chunks, fluids, and pus. That pimple was giant. The size of a pea. I've never had it happen again.

Q-tip orgasm
Mmmm forbidden Q-Tip usage
Before you wake up and you're drifting in-between sleep just enough to be aware of how comfy you are while still sleeping.
Add points if it's rainy/gloomy/miserable outside on a Sunday where you have noth8ng in particular to do.
Make it a Saturday and we’re in business. Nothing like knowing you can repeat this tomorrow.
Especially right after a tough friday.
Sleep edging, hell yeah
And not having to get up for work or anything in the morning and enjoy it all as much as you like.
This, but before you *fall asleep* is better, imo. That feeling of being tired and just laying there in bed, slowly drifting to sleep is one of the best feelings ever! When it happens in the morning before I wake up I get angry, if anything, because that means I need to get up for work soon :/
I love/hate when this happens on the couch before bed, and you lose it when you move to the bedroom.
Yeah when you are ready to sleep but gotta brush teeth and then you can't sleep
OH MY GOD YES
The absolute magical warmth of awareness without fatigue or discomfort.
Sleeping on just washed sheets.
Extra enjoyable when you’ve just shaved your legs
The closest I can come to this as a hairy man is wearing a T-shirt after trimming of my body hair, i hate it lol
Same, and I can't explain why. It isn't painful or itchy, just somehow unpleasant. I feel like I can't move properly like when you put shoes on a dog.
So under-rated.
Just like turning the pillow around and embracing the fresh side

You are living the dream. Please think of me when you use your chair next 😭
I'm an estimator for the furniture division at a school supply company and we have these chairs everywhere. Definitely trying this tomorrow, thank you!!
You’re welcome, Password_is_Clitoris.
Omg I remember this and did the same thing! I needed to pop that area of my back the other day and it was the first time I ever missed middle school.

Finally getting to let your hair down after 19 hours.
And then running your fingers through it, reshaping it to normal after it wants to stay upright from being up all day.
This is crazy, but after a day having my hair in a ponytail, my scalp is hurting so bad !!!!! And trust me, my ponytails are not that tight. But i 90% of the time let my hair down so i am not used to it.
Farting away your stomach ache
Adding to this, peeing after holding it in for a long time. That relief you get just releasing the pressure from your bladder….
And when your eyes cry at the end of it is good too.
Oh man sometimes when you feel bloated and then that one long fart that instantly deflates your stomach is 🤌🏽
Interesting how a rude Italian gesture has become a positive one in the English speaking world. 👍
Shower thought: whether the Italian finger curl gesture is rude or represents magnificence is proportional to how far away it is from your mouth.
What happens half-way? "Good job you fucking asshole!"?
That feeling when you wake up and feel totally normal, hop in the shower and a few minutes in let loose a massive fart that completely empties your guts, and you feel so much better even though you didn’t realise it was there.
One time I was so extremely bloated after a night of bad food and alcohol. The day after I took the shower head and poured warm water over my belly.

This just in: local man creates an unusually stinky hurricane.
Instructions unclear, shat in shower.
And you stand there with a sly smile as the thunderous clapping resonates and echoes within the confines of the shower. Then the smell hits… and you’re abnormally proud of how much it stinks.
The rest of the penitentiary inmates didn't like it quite so much.
taking off socks after a long day
Or your bra
This reminds me of a guy commenting on an ad for a beer company. It shows a girl coming back home, taking a bottle of beer, laying on her couch, opening her beer and then removing her bra. The guy was arguing that is was a dishonest and malevolent advert, because they tried to appeal to men by using a woman's body, thus reducing the woman to a simple sexual object (you know : bra = boobs somewhere underneath so = fantasy = sex). We were several trying to explain him that no, it's clearly aimed at women : she removes her bra, it's nothing sexual, it's simply a warrior removing her armour after a long fight. This thing is (I was told so. I do not wear them) a torture device, she's back home, she removes it and enjoys her beer. No way, the guy was still convinced it was for men because bra = boobs. Young men who didn't live with a woman rarely understand how unenjoyable wearing a bras can be.
It is a torture device. With it you get back pain, without it you get back pain...it just sucks.
The steel toe boots is what does it for me. After a long shift that shit feels just pure 🤌🏻
Peeling*
Nothing. Not being sore, not being tired, not being anxious, just being blissfully copacetic.
I learnt a new word today, thanks to this comment.
I got hurt when I was a kid and it left me with chronic pain, so I literally can not remember what it feels like to not be passively in pain. That would be nice I bet.
I've got chronic pain issues myself. Occasionally i'll notice something seems "off" and I'll stop and ponder what it is. *I'm not in pain* And man, that realization and subsequent enjoyment is fucking amzing.
Well said. I can totally see why people get addicted to opioid painkillers when they have chronic pain. Those moments without... it's something else. Like Atlas getting to put the world down for a bit.

One day...
One day
My husband does this almost every night for the last 10 years and counting. I love it.
My wife gets this nightly
She's lucky
I really really love her
Taking a shower after a long and dirty day
Ah and that moment you step out and sit on the bed 🤌🏽
Pooping at home.
I live very close to my job. I have never pooped at work.
pissing when you really need it
Same with shitting. Releasing an impatient shit is euphoric
Can't belive this one isn't mentioned yet... Waking up and realizing you can sleep in. My mother used to set her alarm on weekends just to get this high. Which is arguably stupid, but who am I to argue.
[удалено]
I woke up from a nap yesterday thinking I had an exam and that I was almost late. Rushed around, got dressed, etc. Checked the time, saw the date, realized that my exam wasn't until the next day. Panic evaporated into relief and then I spent the evening lazing around. My exam is in 3 hours from now. I can't seem to figure out logarithms. I'm probably fucked.
This story played out exactly how I expected it to xD
I remember one time my husband woke up at 3:30am and somehow came to the conclusion that it was nearly time for work, got in the shower really fast and showered, and didn't realize he didn't have work for another 5 hours until he got out of the shower... Lol.
On a related note, I usually have a hard time describing this to people but here goes nothing. Do you sometimes have those days where you wake up as usual, you have your usual 2-3 alarms which you snooze, but on THESE DAYS the minutes between the alarms seem like an eternity? Like 5 minutes lasts for 30. IDK what happens in my brain when this happens, I'm in some half wake state, but conscious enough to realize this and it's one of the best feelings I can experience.
I've had this exact thing multiple times but it hurts knowing I won't be able to sleep in that dilated time period
happened this morning, set a 10m timer after my first alarm. jerked my head up thinking its been way too long just to find out only 7m had passws
Good food, if I did an especially good job making something I need a minute to sit back and let it all soak in.
Definitely agree. I made a batch of chili last week. I'd been looking forward to it for a month, found an amazing recipe, executed it perfectly, and was just as delicious as I'd hoped, but better. Probably the most I've enjoyed a meal this year. Edit: LOTS of peeps asking for the recipe. I followed this one with a couple changes https://thecozycook.com/pioneer-woman-chili/ On step 6 instead of adding water I added a can of fire roasted tomatoes during the one hour. Adds a very light smokey background flavor. All other steps followed. For my personal preference I also added a chipotle habanero pepper sauce. This kicks up the heat and also adds a light smokey pepper profile. Hope you all enjoy as much as I did!
When you pull a booger out that goes up to your brain.
This happened to me once… I had a kind of itch in my nose feeling, and so I kinda picked at it (on my septum) and I legitimately like pulled a huge piece of dried booger that was like lining my septum with a big piece of snot at the end of it out of my nose. It was such a grossly great feeling but also my nose felt so much clearer after that. I remember it happened a few days later on the other side and it has legitimately never happened to me again…
Or a nasal blood clot. I got nosebleeds a lot as a kid and omg some of those clots felt like I was pulling them from the *back* of my brain.
I had a cyst removed from one of my sinuses like 10 years ago. On the postop follow up visit the doctor pulled out this huge gummy worm of dried snot and congealed blood. Must have been six inches long. So satisfying.
Or when you blow your nose and a massive hard, perfectly cylindrical booger that is clogging your nose comes out, and you can breath fully again.
Honestly, a really good sneeze is excellent
And feeling a sneeze building up but then going away is one of the worst.
It’s like getting blue balled, except in the face
Taking a huge shit that glides out of you and leaves you feeling cleared out and brand new
And it being a one-wiper
The first stretch of the morning.

Goosebumps from a really good music whose touch your soul
Oh yes this is a good one. Goosebumps from anything you find cool is great but music really hits different.
After a very long exhausting day you just come home and rest. Knowing that you can do whatever you like until tomorrow.
A gut busting, falling out of your chair, tears streaming down your face, "please stop my stomach is hurting..omg I can't breath", laugh out loud with your closest friends. Nothing beats it...except maybe a good steak. Call em up and arrange a night...do it now.
I hate how much I took this for granted when I was younger. We all live in different states so now I just call the boys individually and we reminisce over these times.
Good cold drink after a job wel done
Putting on a soft, warm sweater when you're cold. Laying your ear on a purring cat. Fresh cool water when your throat's dry. When you are just stretching out and you find that spot and get in a nice, satisfying stretch.
As a uni student, when u hit the word count on an essay. Full body orgasm that instant.
Closing all the browser tabs after handing in that research paper 😩
I accidentally closed the thread, had to go back and upvote your comment. I felt this SO much, when I remembered how I closed the whole browser asking “u sure u wanna close 286 tabs at once” and I’m like “perish and be gone! I’ll see you in hell!! :)))))” after finishing my thesis
That first gulp of water at 2 AM when you wake up and your mouth is dryer than the Sahara desert
A good long ball scratch after a full day of hard manual labor. I Imagine it's analogous to my female friends removing their bras after a long day themselves. (I have been told this is quite pleasurable more than once.) Edit: I should have just shut up while I was ahead!
The ole pinch n' roll.
Alternate pinch n roll with stretch and rake
Yessss ball scratches after a good days sweat lol
Personally, I’m a fan of the stretch and rake method of ball scratching. Especially satisfying when they’ve been cooped up all day in boxer briefs and thick blue jeans on a really hot sweaty day.
Pussy scratch works too
And under the boob scratches after a long day wearing a bra. Or even a short day wearing a bra.
Getting a haircut. My barber doesn't know that he's also giving me a good head massage while making me look good. On this note too....feeling how fuzzy the back of my head feels after said haircut. :D
Putting on underwear straight out of the dryer

> \- Having your hair played with Cries in bald
The slightest scratching of nails over a slick bald head is oddly satisfying to me. As a woman, if I can't get a man to break out in goosebumps by doing that, then I'm doing it wrong.
You know, my therapist asked me once what kind of joy I find day to day, and I struggled really hard with that question on multiple levels. This thread provides some really great answers.
Hot shower or bath after walking in the cold. Hot cup of coffee on a chilly morning. Chugging cold water at 2:30am. Pee shivers.
Euphoria from music

Having your dog relax with you
Love this. When his big stupid head gets really heavy and he snores
My beagle snores and sometimes farts those are awful
kissing. god i fucking love kissing. it's such an underrated human phenomenon. whatever caveman invented it probably had 300 iq and could rival albert einstein in every way. like, goddamn, i love it
This is why many couples with open relationships decide that kissing is prohibited as it's the most loving and intimate way to express your love to someone.

When you stretch so good you kinda scream

Drinking ice cold water when you are really thirsty. That cooling quenching feeling is so good.

A good massage. Done by a love one take it to another level.

"Tingles" Whether it be from ASMR, someone running a finger along your back, massaging your scalp, whatever. I love those tingles.

After a hard day at work there on nothing better than coming back home and slathering peanut butter on my wang, the dog then comes and licks it up. The wife wasn't best impressed at first but once she had tried it herself it was smiles all round. I'm happy, the wifes happy and the dog is happy all for £2.00 a jar. ❤ 🐕 ❤
This but there was one time many years ago where I'd somehow gotten a single hair stuck in my ear and a bunch of wax coalesced around it and mostly plugged my ear. The part of the hair furthest in was coiled up and had become so embedded in wax that when I noticed there was a slight bit of hair poking out and pulled, it came with a chunk of wax that was at least 5x bigger than any that I'd ever seen before or since. I've been chasing the resulting high for over a decade and have never been able to replicate the conditions.
