Tag: second most pleasurable

In my exploration of pleasurable bodily sensations, I've found that after the universal joy of eating, the second most pleasurable sensation is often associated with touch. This could be a comforting hug, a soothing massage, or the soft caress of a loved one. It's fascinating how our bodies respond to such simple, tactile experiences, releasing feel-good chemicals like oxytocin. The beauty of touch is its accessibility - it's a readily available source of joy that we can give and receive freely. So, let's not underestimate the power of a gentle touch, it's a close runner up in the race of life's most delightful sensations.
