On my flight home from VidCon I had a dream that @elijahdaniel got my phone number and wouldn't stop texting me science questions. The one sent right before I woke up was, "What's the point of orgasms!?"

Depends. For males, it's to throw spermatozoids somewhere. For females, it's to be somewhat debilitated for a while so those spermatozoids have a better(freud sp : batter) chance of swimming where they need to.

Males could ejaculate without the nice feeling and females be immobilized without it (also, tbh the immobilization part seems fishy). The enjoyment is to encourage intercourse to increase the chance of procreation. For all parties involved.

The question was not "why do orgasms feel nice".

But that's that orgasms are - a physically pleasant thing. Orgasm is not the same as ejaculation, so it's not "why are they pleasant" but "why is the feeling when climaxing so nice we have a scientific term for it?"

I'm so glad you all worked this out on your own without my intervention.
