Sure but the reason we should do those things is not because it feels good.
We have sex to make babies, we socialise so other members of the tribe will look out for us, we exercise so we can outrun a lion or perhaps attract a mate.
Your body makes them feel good so you will do them.
Laying in bed all day can feel good, substance abuse can feel good, exercising power over others can feel good, eating “bad foods” can feel good.
Socialization and sex are good for mental health and longevity, stress reduction, reduces depression and anxiety and fights cognitive decline in old age. “Sex is to make babies” is stone weird natalist shit. It has many other functions.
As far as “things that fell good are bad for us” no. Moderation is necessary with many behaviors of course and some work needs to be done to facilitate health. Doing things that feel good is good for for us because the state of feeling good and well is healthy for us … for the same reasons as sex and socialization are good. That’s why our bodies make them fell good. That’s the reason we should do them.
Im so confused, do you just like feeling bad about having fun?
I can see you are confused, I never said “things that feel good are bad for us”.
I said something feeling good is not an indication that it is good for you;
addressing the girl in the post who was confused as to why being on her phone and watching the TV is considered bad even though she enjoys it.
Promoting Dopamine abuse is an interesting take here in 2025.
How many hours per day would you recommend people use their phone while trying to half watch the TV, based off your “moderation makes everything ok” doctrine?
If your physical and mental health are otherwise good take as much time as you like. Maybe that’s ten minutes, maybe it’s all weekend. Part of being human is building expertise on yourself 😁
Socialization and sex can be healthy and possibly good exercise.
Also exercise tends to feel good if you do it frequently enough.

But it is good for you, it’s called rest.
