More specifically if the act feels good then the organism does it more. So those organisms for which it feels best will do it more and over time select and enhance that trait. This may not be a good thing. It may very well be an evolutionary misstep that we enjoy orgasms as much as we do. We enjoy orgasms more than sex (or procreation). We don't need a viable partner for procreation to get an orgasm (we don't need a partner at all in fact. So we've got a tremendously powerful biological reward that doesn't require the act it presumably evolved to promote. Orgasms are biologically extreme: heart rate leaps, blood vessels constrict, muscles spasm and you end up exhausted, weak and vulnerable. Orgasms are psychologically extreme: massive pleasurable stimulation. Today that pleasure is laced with social pressure from several directions and in many cases not an inconsiderable amount of guilt. The drive to reach orgasm is often overpowering. The reach it we'll ignore basic biological defense mechanisms. We'll push through pain, ignore environmental changes and physical extremis. People die in the attempt to reach orgasm. While we can get orgasms by ourselves who are we kidding? They're always more fun with somebody else. Sex generally adds to the physical stress of obtaining orgasm. More importantly sex adds significant risks of disease transmission. To obtain orgasm we'll fail to take rational precautions. So - the orgasm... an evolutionary triumph or mistake?
