standard reward

The typically-accepted-as-equivalent "pleasure-reimbursement" that a guy and gal exchange in a particular everyday romantic "transaction".

Two examples of standard rewards:
(1) If a guy allows a visiting gal to use his shower, she lets him accompany her into the shower and dreamily canoodle with her under the warm waterfall.
(2) If a misty-eyed guy wants to give a buxom gal a naked chest-to-chest hug, he'll soothingly massage her back all during said extended deeply-squeezy snuggle-session. (A variation on this "contract" would be that if she lets him savoringly play with her boobs and fondle her butt, he'll massage whatever other body-parts that she requests him to soothe --- i.e., her feet, shoulder-blades, neck, etc. --- for a similar length of time as he pleasures his thirsting hands with her "choicest morsels".)

intermittent variable rewards

On social media platforms like YouTube, this term commonly abbreviated as IVRs refer to engagement metrics, such as likes, comments and subscriptions. For creators, this type of engagement can lead to more dopamine in the brain, resulting in a rush of pleasure and validation for their work.

The way his subscriber count kept climbing was all thanks to those intermittent variable rewards; every notification felt like a little win!

Make the most of the Sun’s last few days in your sign to get what you are working on to a level where it cannot be undone by anyone at a later date. If you focus on finishing what you have already started the rewards could be spectacular.

old people's self-reward

A slang term for extra (hours of recreational) screen time that seniors can easily have as a form of self-reward; whilst children, teenagers, and younger adults are subject to more stringent behavior requirements to obtain the same duration of extra screen time due to the presence of third-party authority (parents, teachers, institutions, and employers)

It's wild how my grandparents can rack up hours of screen time as some kind of old people's self-reward, while I have to jump through hoops just to watch an extra episode!
