What is the evolutionary reason behind pooping feeling so good?
-
It doesn’t always feel good...I suspect it’s a happy coincidence.
I was thinking that might be the reason, actually. Because, sometimes, it feels really not good, we needed it to feel good the rest of the time. Otherwise we'd avoid it, which would not be good.

I read a good book once called Junkie by a heroine addict (incredible book—highly recommend it). He starts by saying all pleasure can be more accurately explained as relief. Pooping is a great example.

Haha, interesting sexual implications.

My other theory is that, in order for pooping to not be detrimental to the rest of your village, you need to do it in a designated place (i.e. not upstream) and that's kind of a pain to deal with. So maybe the pleasure is designed to let you justify a long walk or something.
