Imagine having a massage, but it's not a normal deep-tissue massage. Something would happen that provides more than 'relief wrapped in pain'. Rather, a thorough, continual, never-before-felt pleasure.
When you take a small risk and the resultant feeling is FAR better and something you never expected and probably haven't experienced.
In some cases, you knew it could have happened to you, but definitely weren't expecting the level or type of pleasure.
Similar phrases that don't seem to hit the mark:
- almost a visceral, pleased shock
- a surprising satisfaction
- a delightful surprise
Here's a similar question, where the answer is "striking". But, I'm not looking for an adjective describing the object that causes the feeling. I'm looking for what the person feels.
If a single word is difficult to find, I'd prefer a 2-word phrase using common words.
- unexpected pleasure doesn't describe the level of pleasure
- treat is too "candy-like" and not as "continual"
