Zbube, I get what you're saying but I think that MrHP gets his fill of all of those things--the feel, the smell, the texture, etc, in QUANTITY so he doesn't feel the need to spend a whole ton of time on it every single time. He likes those same elements but he is so overwhelmed with me hanging on him every night that he is much less likely to seek it out and want to prolong it.
Plus, like I said, you've got your relishers and your Just get er done-ers.
