pleasure

n. enjoyment, amusement, entertainment; delight, joy

v. cause someone enjoyment, provide someone else with a pleasurable experience

Pleasure is commonly conceptualized as somehow opposed to pain or suffering, though it has received much less scientific attention. Arthur Schopenhauer, 19th Century German philosopher, understood pleasure as a negative sensation, as it negates the usual existential condition, that of suffering. Pleasure can be brought about in different ways, depending on how every individual senses the feeling of pleasure. Some feel this phenomenon through music, sexuality, drugs, writing, accomplishment, recognition, service, and any other imaginable activity; even pain. It also refers to "enjoyment" related to certain physical, sensual, emotional or mental experience.
