PLEASURE
Pleasure is a positive sensation, which by analogy to pain, can be physiologically described as either peripheral or central (euphoria). It is commonly conceptualized as somehow opposed to pain, though it has received much less scientific attention. From a gross physiological approach, peripheric pleasure could be related to the nociceptive sense, which "detects" pain or noxious stimuli, or be considered an entirely new realm of sense, largely unexplored. Pleasure can be brought about in different ways, depending on how every individual feels the feeling of pleasure. Some feel this phenomenon through pain, music, sexuality, writing, and any other imaginable activity.
It also refers to "enjoyment" related to certain physical, sensual, emotional or mental experience.
1 - Desire, Inclination (...wait upon his pleasure -- Shakespeare)
2 - a state of gratification
3 - a. sensual gratification b. frivolous amusement
4 - a source of delight or joy "
Pleasure may also be defined, at least in some contexts, to be a significant reduction in discomfort.

Pleasure needs to be understood in contrast with joy and happiness.
Pleasure is what excites in a pleasant way one or more of our perceptory senses. All pleasures are physical... when they please the mind as well, they become joy, and if the mind is pleased in a balanced way without being excited, it is happiness.

simply put lack of pain is pleasure. it's an experience that will make you want to do a perticular action over and over again. pleasure itself acts as a reinforcer.

'Pleasure and Pain' are but the same it simply is a matter of degree.
Leave that world and expand your consciousness into the World of Bliss which is the Divine Nectar of the gods!

Anything that makes a certain response to that said stimulus "feel good."
Christians call this "sin."
I call it FUN!
