This is basically how intersubjectivity works. You have no empirical evidence to tell you how others feel, but you can extrapolate based on your own experience.
I don't know how you would feel after being hit in the face with a two-by-four, but that doesn't mean that would give you an orgasm. There's many subjective experiences that we cannot share, but many we can imagine -- at least if we have a sense of empathy.
