Purity - The probability and degree of pain diluting the pleasure.

e.g) Raising a child is a pleasure, but the physical pain of childbirth can dilute this pleasure.

Richness (Fecundity) - The likelihood of an action being followed by similar actions.

e.g) Giving to charity or volunteering

Remoteness (Propinquity) - How near or remote, in time or place, the benefits of the act.

e.g) When giving to charity, the donor cannot directly see the benefits of their donation.

Intensity - The amount of pleasure produced by an action.

e.g) A teenager staying out late may be pleasurable, but it may be more pleasurable in the long run to come home earlier for both the parent and the teenager.
