To ask you what's the most satisfying thing your body has done?

I have had this, at work and my eye felt really uncomfortable and saw a little hair poking out a tiny little hole in my upper lid, a little duct. Had tweezers on me, grabbed the tiny bit and out slid a long eyelash. Thank you SO much for reminding me am going to go the bed satisfied at the memory!

Had a wisdom tooth extracted. The hole improved but then stayed just a little bit sorer than I thought it would. Took my children on holiday. Driving home, went round a massive roundabout that had exits to various motorways.

Felt one of the pokey fishbone style pieces coming out of the extraction hole. Sucked hard and it popped out - followed by what I presume was a sack of pus. It felt like a slug. Was still negotiating the roundabout and couldn't get a tissue so had to swallow it. The hole was instantly 99% more comfortable and healed overnight!

And...

When very young, I moved my foot in bed and (I'm guessing) my ankle dislocated. The pain was excruciating. I started to very slowly bend my knee and bring my foot up towards my hands (so I could check it out) and within 2 seconds it popped back into joint. All pain gone and I never had a problem with it again.

I love this but I have to disagree so intensely - giving birth (twice) for me was so satisfying, literally pushing out a baby, and your body becomes a machine to do it, but then also sitting communing/skin to skinning with the fruit of your labour. Both times for me it was labour from midnight to 6ish and then meeting the new baby in the early-morning light, just so high and elated at my my achievement. Also both times in total love either with my midwife or anaesthetist 😁

Ok this is possibly one of the most WTF I’ve read. Didn’t even know that was possible!

Clicking my joints (not dangerously so), it just feels great and like it releases stress. Honestly I could do with a personal massage therapist, that would just stretch my legs, and click me. Oh I also remember having acupuncture after a car accident. I was really reluctant as thought it was complete nonsense. I was completely wrong, one of the pins the physiotherapist put in started moving like crazy, and hit the exact spot; I could feel so much tension dispersing it was amazing.

Had a headache which lasted a few days. Paracetamols didn't really help.

Then one day I felt my nose start to run. This luminous green/yellow liquid came out of my nose and the headache was gone. Such a relief.

That was a cross post!

That horrible aftermath of a cold when you sometimes feel a bit phlegmy or your throat tickles, resulting in an annoying cough, then you cough up something big and chewy and all the irritation is gone.

Years back I had a really bad cold. As I do when these things happen, I clean my nose out by scraping around inside the nostril with my index fingernail whilst in the shower. This goes on with plenty of blowing out each nostril by pressing on the opposite side. On this occasion a large slimy slug of gelatinous mucous hung down so I grabbed it with my fingers and pulled, then used my fingers on the other hand to pull. I finally pulled out a roughly 20cm goopy rope of snot that I could feel coming away from deep within my throat and then out my nose. An amazing sight and such relief!

Not me but my brother but I'm thrilled I was there to see. His eye over three days had swollen and was very red around the tear duct. He had an appointment with the doctor for two days later. He has a few medical issues due to an accident 22 years ago. He kept bathing his eye with cooled boiled water and wiping it with cotton pads as advised by the pharmacist. He got a swelling over the tear duct. He wiped it, it popped and two stitches came out. Stitches he got when his arm was amputated 22 years ago. He brought them to the doctor who verified them. A few months later a tiny piece of metal came out his eye. Twenty two years these had been travelling around his body before deciding to exit

Coughed up two huge tonsil stones like a pair of fetid Fabergé eggs

If we’re talking satisfying then multiple orgasms has to be up there along with the giant poos and ingrown hairs!

I used to have waves of them that felt like a psychedelic experience - layers of colours and shapes, moving through them continuously like floating through windows/doors in my mind. Since menopause (or splitting from my abusive ex, annoyingly) I don’t have the same experience of orgasm. I’d have 10-15 good ones and rhen one absolutely mind blowing one that left me unable to speak or move for several minutes. I miss those!

Dermoid cysts are different and not a fetus in fetu twin

The babies were pretty amazing but the most miraculous thing my body has done was to regrow the skin over the middle section of my middle finger after I cut the whole thing off by being careless using a mandolin cutter. The piece was an inch long and almost an inch wide and deep enough that the ligaments were showing. They dressed it with a silicon grid to grow into to encourage regeneration and it's just a white ridge along my finger now. Amazing.

I took magic mushrooms a couple of times and once while I was on the loo I looked down and saw the whole universe emanating from inside my vagina! There is definitely a very primal connection with birth, the universe, life etc Women are fucking magical.

In my mid twenties I got a small cyst on my lower eyelid. After a few months of just putting up with it I finally went to see the doctor who checked it and confirmed I would need it surgically removed. This would involve an injection (local anaesthetic) near to my eye and me being totally awake as they just scalpel this thing off. I’d then have to wear an eyepatch for some time afterwards until it was healed.

Can’t explain what happened but my body on a cellular level obviously decided “Sod that for a game of soldiers” and within a week of me seeing the doctor, the cyst had disappeared by itself.

An orgasm every time I’ve ever had sex without fail - boring and predictable perhaps but that’s what it is for me.

That’s powerful shit. Lol

I have ibs and when I'm in agony the farts i produce are a thing of beauty. And oh my God the relief is amazing.

My 1st poop after dd1 was horrific. Took a week because they put a painkiller up my arse. With my 2nd I didn't have that and pooped before I left hospital normally.

I also love poking away at chin hairs and the feeling of relief when I get them is great but also I get pissed off if I get them too quick.

I've done some noteworthy shits in my 44 years but nothing compares to the satisfaction of scratching off a milk blister and squeezing the breast such that the backed-up milk in the duct comes out like the fucking Trevi Fountain.

A ghostie

My liver is very efficient. Recent blood tests have been amazing! I am not a huge boozer but have definitely used my allocated allowance at times! Q

I can but also I do it by accident too all the time and it's very annoying!

My dad can do it on demand. Or he could when we were children. We were always asking him to do it. He always obliged. My mother was less than amused.
I never knew there was an actual name for it.

Yep getting that bugger of a chin hair out is a very satisfying feeling’
