Most of the adjectives that I can think of are concerned with why an object is pleasant to the touch, describing sensation rather than simple pleasantness, such as warm, comfortable, soft. Actually trying to describe a door handle as giving tactile pleasure seems a bit weird to me, so maybe you should try to be clearer about what you really mean?– Lee LeonCommented Feb 19, 2018 at 9:11

@LeeLeon instead of door handle it could be a computer mouse. Or if we are talking about the materials, then silk. It is pleasant to touch.– EduardCommented Feb 19, 2018 at 14:33

Sorry, Eduard, but there ain't no such animal. Visual beauty might lie in the eye of the sensor but somehow that carries over so that 3,500 years later Helen is still “a beauty” but the sound in the forest fades with or without an ear to hear it. Smell might be the most evocative memory but taste and yes, touch taper away rather faster.– Robbie GoodwinCommented Feb 20, 2018 at 1:03
