Finally I would add "touch" to the list. As Robert Hauk says,

and my experienced in the last few months has reinforced that

Christopher,
I very much like the word touch. You've provided a label for me to
begin an exploration I've wanted to do for years but couldn't figure
out how to make the distinction. I'm not sure yet if I can express
this but I'm hoping to hear from others on this also.
Hopefully, list members can differentiate between "touch" as aesthetic
appreciation of how a woman responds to a lead, and touch as a mammalian
imperative.
In the snippet that Jonathan quotes above I clearly wrote in terms of
touch in the second sense. I would add that the aesthetic aspect,
while we can certainly examine it alone, exists partly because of and
intensifies the other aspect.
I believe that as human beings, we can't arbitrarily separate existence
as mammals and primates from existence as intelligent beings, in that
intelligence (as I see it) exists to improve our success as organisms,
ie survival and extending our sphere of influence.
For myself, I enjoy very grounded women with a strong axis the most.
It feels like a 2-ton safe door so finely balanced on frictionless
hinges, it closes with a brush of the finger tips.
