Question

Eli5: Why does it feel better when someone else rubs your feet or whatever compared to doing it yourself?

Answer 1

Your body is less sensitive to your own touch. Because your brain knows where every part of your body is and is expecting a touch when you touch yourself but if someone else touches you, your brain isn’t expecting it and because its a foreign object touching you it makes it much more sensitive so that you will notice it.
