Greatest Physical Pleasure

Seconded. I also loved being pregnant. Nowadays I'm content with snuggling a sleeping newborn and playing with little fingers.
I love the smell of rain. I find it incredibly relaxing and refreshing at the same time.
I know you said no food, tsq (see? I did read the first post, yay!
), but can I sneak in kneading bread? I especially love kneading the dough after the first rising, when it's soft and spongy.My daughter gives really tight hugs, which I love, and when my younger son snuggles next to me he moulds into me like a cat.
Knitting, specifically with wooden needles and good quality yarn. Give me a stash of baby alpaca yarn and I'm tempted to roll naked in it.
Snuggling a pet, be it the dog, one of the cats, or one of the rats or guinea pigs.
As a few other people have mentioned, getting into a freshly made bed, especially with a good book in hand.
Oh, kneading bread definitely counts. I just qualified with no food or sex because eating and screwing are obviously going to win out with almost everyone!
Another is when the music at a concert is so oud that you can feel it in your chest more than hear it in your ears.

Still a risky behavior even after personally experiencing several instances of chocolate puddinging the back of the toilet seat.

^Definitely! Especially one with a really loud purr.
Forgot one. An important one.
The Joy of Painting. Bob Ross is one giant, fuzzy haired painkiller driving pleasure and happiness into my core of my soul.

My cat's claws make this not so fun.
Throwing a large, hard object at a cat is also quite pleasant.
I don't inherently hate cats, just never had a good one.
This.
After my first microfracture knee surgery a few years ago, I remember waking up the next morning and taking 2 vicodin. The warm feeling spreading out from my core all the way to my extremities, and then the slightly floaty feeling - everything was shiny at that point.
I can see how easy it would be to get hooked on painkillers chasing that feeling.
For me, it's having one of my kids snuggle up and fall asleep on my lap/chest. Sadly, as the kids have gotten older (the youngest turns 8 in a month), it happens less and less frequently now.
Shedding the harness (bra)
I don't wear shoes that require socks much anymore, but on the occasion I have to wear socks and sneakers, it is BLISS to finally take them off.
Getting between the bedsheets right after a bath or shower. There is something cool and almost effervescent about that last little bit of dampness evaporating under the still cool bedcovers.
Hugs. Holding hands. Hand and foot massages.
Walking the beach facing into the wind, or sitting on the beach facing the wind. Preferably in the early morning or the evening anytime before absolute dark.
Getting that itch inside your ear ... AAAAHHHH
Rolling over in the bed and finding that sweet spot. Similarly, flipping the pillow to the cool side.
Rubbing my doggie's belly.

A hot, soft chocolate chip cookie fresh out of the oven.
Buying that new item of clothing, putting it on and looking at myself--and in that one brief moment, I forget how fat and ugly I am. I think, "Hey, this makes me look like I know what I'm doing, like I'm normal and have got my shit together! I don't look half bad in this!"
Granted, the feeling doesn't last long (a day, a week), but putting on that new item can make me feel good about myself. I might actually walk with my head up and want people to see me. I can't wait for it to get cooler, so I can wear my sweaters, which I think are really nice.
If I can't feel pretty, at least my clothes can be pretty and that's the next best thing.

After a nice workout and shower, stretching your muscles.
Feeling of a soft bed you are super tired.
The excitement before I see family and close friends after being gone for months.
The rush when seeing a new beautiful sight (mountains, temples, jungles, cultural sights).

A few more:
Silence - It really is golden, as in ” Shut up, mom. I'm trying to have a quiet dinner!”
Driving on an otherwise busy street with very little or no traffic
Walking by the side of the bay, watching the tides roll by, with the briny sea air and the cool breeze blowing in my face
Knowing that the boss is out of the office
