do we have pleasures in our senses because the brain tries to make us want more of it?

For instance candy. Quick sugar, quick energy so the brain makes them taste good so we get more. Another example is sex. We orgasm because the brain wants to have children and giving you orgasms makes you want to do it more. And bad tasting, feeling, looking, and sounds make us feel bad because the brain is just like "avoid that or you feel bad". Am I making sense?

Yes. I actually believe we get different cravings proportional to what our bodies need generally speaking but it can go wrong: diabetics for example have terrible cravings for things they actually have in over abundance because their body just doesn't process sugar correctly and thinks "Hey jackass, we need energy" even though energy is plentiful and just not being absorbed due to lack/resistance to insulin.
