"Stroking trajectory shapes velocity effects on pleasantness and other touch percepts" can be found in JEP: HPP here: https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0001079 and the open freeprint here: https://hal.science/hal-03972016

We find that stroking trajectory is important and that affective touch is complex. #AffectiveTouch is not just a long brush stroke, neither is it just pleasantness. We show that other physical parameters are important, including touch duration and spatial pattern.

As many people now see, we need to go beyond stroking velocity and consider other motion features of touch. Affective touch is the value you get from touch, its emotional effects, which is present with all touch.
