When I stopped looking toward thrills to make me feel better and tuned into my experience, that's when bliss showed up.

Anyone else?

Yes. It’s a lovely ideal and wonderful when achieved.

There's so much more available to us than just the orgasm. I wish I had been shown that decades ago.

Do you mean just sexually, or in life in general?

I think seeking thrills as a way to sate yourself could be a dangerous route to go down - there needs to be a more solid internal foundation.

Both in my opinion.

It seems to me that bliss is all there is. Trying to force it makes it less attainable and as you say, thrill seeking to feel better is like any other addiction, joyless.

To be clearer, I see the bliss as our natural state and the majority of us spend our lives trying to force it to appear to us again, after we have lost access to it as we have grown older.

I think bliss is fleeting and precious. I think equanimity is what we should seek, and take the ups and downs from there.
