Pleasure
The Art of Accomplishment
Why People Avoid Pleasure
- Difficulty experiencing pleasure can stem from suppressed emotions. Emotional fluidity increases the natural state of pleasure and joy.
- Intense pleasure can be scary due to its expansiveness. It can feel like losing control or falling, which is why embracing intensity is important.
- The intensity of pleasure, joy, or peace can be greater than that of pain or anger. People might resist this intensity because it involves losing oneself to some degree.
- The experience of orgasm is a microcosm of the intensity and loss of control that can be experienced with life itself.
