I actually think this might be true. I'm dealing with treatment resistant depression and am on fairly heavy antidepressants. These stop me from feeling much of anything, good or bad. Even orgasms don't really give me any pleasure at all.
When I orgasm, it is actually very painful. I've gone to a urologist and have had scans, etc done, and there's nothing wrong physically with anything down there. Until I saw your post I never really thought about it in this way, but I can definitely see how a lack of endorphins and oxytocin - or really, any feel good chemicals - floating around, how an intense muscle contraction could be quite painful. It's like a sharp pain, probably similar to a quick, extreme flex of muscles that at the same time need to relax to pass things through.
