===Types===
Pleasure is sometimes subdivided into fundamental pleasures that are closely related to survival (food, sex, and social belonging) and higher-order pleasures (e.g., viewing art and altruism).<ref>{{Cite book|title = The Pleasure Center : Trust Your Animal Instincts: Trust Your Animal Instincts|url = https://books.google.com/books?id=4vrnEQDiNXcC|publisher = Oxford University Press, US|date = 2008-10-15|isbn = 9780199717392|language = en|first = Morten L.|last = Kringelbach}}</ref> 

[[Jeremy Bentham]] listed 14 kinds of pleasure; sense, wealth, skill, amity, a good name, power, piety, benevolence, malevolence, memory, imagination, expectation, pleasures dependent on association, and the pleasures of relief.<ref>Chapter V, An Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation, Bentham, 1789, http://fs2.american.edu/dfagel/www/Philosophers/Bentham/principlesofMoralsAndLegislation.pdf#page30 https://www.utilitarianism.com/jeremy-bentham/index.html</ref> 

Some commentators see 'complex pleasures' including wit and sudden realisation,<ref>Complex Pleasure: Forms of Feeling in German Literature, [[Stanley Corngold]], Stanford Press, 1998</ref> and some see a wide range of pleasurable feelings.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Smuts |first1=Aaron |title=The feels good theory of pleasure |journal=Philosophical Studies |date=September 2011 |volume=155 |issue=2 |pages=241–265 |doi=10.1007/s11098-010-9566-4 |s2cid=170258796 }}</ref>

[[Nick Bostrom]] listed 3 types of pleasure;
* pleasant or voluptuous bodily sensations.
* thrills from high-energy socialising, consumerism, and indulgence.
* positive hedonic tone, meaning an unmediated liking of the ways things present in the moment.<ref>This positive hedonic tone 'fills our spirit with a warm affirming joy', and 'some core part of us cannot help but really like it'.
