why am I still surprised when it feels so good after I exercise?

    • I really can't say why but I somehow feel like it might be related to this kind of thing:
      • On the Metaphysics of Sex - Ecosophia
        • a friend > It's on gender and sex coming from a western occultist perspective, which holds that each person has (or exists in) several different levels of being at once: physical, etheric, astral, mental (and others). This essay claims that a person can have a different gender at each level, and furthermore that the typical pattern is for gender to alternate (M-F) as you go up the levels.
        • me > seems to imply that something like... masturbating then taking a really cold shower would feel really rejuvenating in a similar way to how sex does
          • (for men in particular, though maybe also some women)
    • related to like, what's naturally supposed to motivate a human to exercise being something like either a game (competitive or not) or having work to do, and so maybe if you just pick things up and put them down, you're gonna feel empty at the end
    • or the dopamine thing is not gonna hook up properly, idk
    • although that doesn't exactly stop people from masturbating even though they feel empty at the end, so maybe less relevant than I thought? idk
