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.
