When you say "feeling", are you referring to a sensation, or an emotion?
Sensation, unless passion and lust fall into the emotional spectrum to you. It's certainly not gentle.
"I don't see how anyone could hurt you easily since you have dimples and
everything. You look adorable. I'd be like smack smack awww smack."
There's a reason why I had to pick up goading as a form of flirting. Some get the message when they strike me and I don't respond the usual way, while others sort of shrink back like "THE FUCK!?"
