Sauna, good album, salty meat and cheese, pleasant low level crossfade, dancing, lifting, not during but directly after a solid cardio sesh, hikes and walks.
Most sublime physical pleasure I'd ever felt was sitting in a hot damp basement in AP US history in the back row, and a cool breeze carrying the fragrance of the jasmine groundcover outside entered through a recently opened window and graced the back of my neck, curling around to my forehead. I instantly knew I would remember it for the rest of my life.

I took 200ug of acid and laid on a blanket in my garden on a beautiful summer's day.

Initially there were mild visuals; everything seemed to be more vivid and high-fidelity, the movement of plants was particularly engaging.

Eventually I lapsed into some form of semi-consciousness where I manifested as a ball of static energy, buzzing at an incredibly high frequency. I was connecting with other spirits (everyone on earth was the same, our bodies were a distraction). The energy and connection with others was so intensely pleasurably that my body and musculature was straining as never before, I had the most intense smile i've ever had and the pleasure was like an orgasm to the power 10, it was intensely powerful.

Hours later, coming down all m muscles ached and I suspect I experienced a mild gran mal seizure.

That is the most intense pleasure I've ever experienced. My first time coming up on MDMA, and sex on ketamine are a distant second and third respectively. Maybe it's sad that all three involve mind-altering substances... i've probably been 'happier' at other points, but in terms of 'pleasure' its probably these.

it's almost a meme at this point, but getting a good pump. to feel the blood flowing as it engorges your muscles. to see your veins trickle out like a spider web. that one spot in the gym that maximizes the anabolic lighting to showcase the ephemeral size and beauty of your pump. there is something visceral about it. and for that small window of time, it can be oh so glorious.

Back in university I did summer school for a couple of the summers because it’s kind of rough to going back to living in the oppressive household of your parents.

Not a lot of people were around besides the Chinese students and black football players so I was mostly by myself but I found this lifestyle quite peaceful. There wasn’t a lot of work in the classes because there were a lot of retarded football players in them that needed to pass, so I genuinely enjoyed a lot of the ones I took, which were mostly natural science classes like weather and disease. The classes were I think extended to 2 hours long but after that I’d just have to go to the library and complete the little hw they gave in 15 minutes and spend the rest of the watching Reading (mostly Yukio Mishima then), meditating, watching YouTube, browsing 4chan, then playing vidya. I liked this better then when I was a full on beer in a while because it made me feel I did at least a little work which made me feel productive and good. As well it gave me an excuse to walk around the beautiful campus on those beautiful summer days (my class was about 15 minutes walk from my dorm).

I was also able to get the most fit I’ve ever been in my life as well going to the gym 4-5 days a week, so I felt physically amazing, and I hope this doesn’t sound narcissistic but I was a long haired ripped 9/10 twink, so it felt good to look in the mirror.

It’d always be comfy to walk to the gym in the evening, workout in the mostly empty gym, and then walk back to my dorm taking the long way around past a field where there were fireflies out flashing their mating signs during the days twilight.

And then I would order some pizza, get high, watch some anime or read some manga, and wake up around 10 the next day for another comfy summer school day.

The only thing I regret was there were a few really tall Amazonian girls from the women’s basketball team in my dorm, that I never had the balls to try and interact with and get snoo snoo’d by.

That summer was easily the most peaceful, and among the happiest times of my life.

Some moron at my uni left his ID at the library during finals and I looked kind of like him so I took his orgo final and purposely bombed it. While taking the test my entire body radiated pleasure and I had to fan myself due to excessive sweat. Thinking about the power I had over him in that moment and my control over his future made my toes curl. I tracked him down on move out day after grades came out. When I handed him the badge he knew immediately and looked at me with rage and helplessness.

Sitting on a steam boat in New Orleans on a cool evening after a hot, humid day. Eating bread pudding and drinking a cold beer on the deck with your friends while listening to a jazz band playing. You just spent the week doing a terrible landscaping job you got from a temp service. You're a bit sore but your muscles just loosen and you relax in your chair. For the first time you think life really is good.

I have never felt so content in my life. Not even after being released from jail. Its my most vivid memory. I can feel the cool breeze, hear the music. I knew in the moment that it was a special moment I'd never forget.

Standing in the shower and putting my hand on the ceramic tile and affirming its reality, contemplating on its coolness and the water droplets, of its texture and substance. Intentionally imprinting the moment in my memory.
Another moment, the first such moment, in the last spring of kindergarten I sat in a large window and had my first experience of 'existential dread', some kind of self-aware sadness. One might question what this has to do with pleasure, but the point is that in moments like this is when I've felt most 'real' or aware of existence and my own mind. And each of these moments remind me of the others which then amplify each of them, as if I have returned to those days and again sit there in the window.
Like the last night that I held my now ex in my arms, knowing that "this is the end of this", savoring it such that I can still feel it 6 years later, even though we hooked up a few years later after, that was merely degenerate lust and nostalgia, not love.

I'll add my /shizo/ post as well.
For the past year I wore a necklace of a specific demon. During the (((crisis))) I've spent much time reading and found my way back to "god". On a particular day I woke up with scratches on my body that I could not explain. Since I am not completely stupid I did not consider it to be caused by "supernatural" powers but it continued to linger on my mind for the rest of the day which lead to me putting the necklace in the cupboard next to my bed. In the middle of the night I woke up feeling extremely frightened. Untypically for me my first reflex was to pray so I prayed to god. My fear immediately went away and turned into a joy that I can not really put into words. It was like multiple orgasms, but nothing sexual. An Immense heat that went through my body in waves. It was so strong that I even whimpered out of joy. The closest word that I have found to describe the feeling and which actually comes close, when not in the same intensity, is "frisson". I am able to induce "frisson" simply by thinking about it (I'm sure many of you can as well). Imagine that goosebump feeling but way more intense.
This is not a larp and I am not saying that it proves that a god exists. It was a very real and spiritual experience for me that I am still trying to decipher. Researching "Jesus burn" lead me to similar experiences.

While bored out of my mind at home, i spotted my next door neighbor in her twenty's hanging laundry on their first floor balcony. Me being in my early teens i got excited and curious as is i could see from the third floor of our apartment that she was wearing very thin pajama bottom pants along with the fact that she had an amazing pear shaped body,now this was why i was excited because at the time another neighbor across our street would park his car in his garage every time he would arrive from work so instead of my dad parking his car (blacked out back seat windows) in front of our building he would park it with a perfect view across the street from where this gorgeous girl was hanging these wet clothes. cont.

So long story short i would find an excuse like i forgot my book in the car and slip in and watch the show, my favorite time that i used to replay all the time back then was when one day for whatever reason the clothes she was hanging were very wet, so as shes was going about her chores with me in the hot car watching in awe, her perfectly shape butt presses on a wet bed sheet and as she moves away her thin pajama pants are soaked through revealing a wet t shirt like view of her butt with details like what her tan skin looks like underneath and the fact she was wearing panties of a dark color makes me cum one of the biggest loads of my life and as I'm resting there in the car feeling a little ashamed she goes around the clothes line and presses her butt in between the balcony railings with a bar right between her cheeks while she clips a few shirts on the line, my god to relive those days makes me get jittery.
