As I said, when it secretes serotonin into its bloodstream and synapses.

That strikes me as terrible definition of enjoyment - particularly because seratonin release isn't nearly as indicative of enjoyment as popular culture would suggest. Even using dopamine would be better (but still not particularly good).

I wasn't basing it on popular culture, but that doesn't mean I'm not wrong.

Do you have a better suggestion?

If not, I'd ask CuSithBell to please clarify her (or his) ideas without using controversially defined terminology (which was also my sentiment before).
