What gives you pleasure?

Unread post by Sam W »

We talk a lot about pleasure and sex, but there are plenty of non-sexual things that give you pleasure too. I wanted to celebrate those in this thread by sharing some of mine, and inviting y'all to share yours!

-Back being rubbed
-hair petting
-petting pretty much any animal
-eating chocolate, bread, cheese, ripe strawberries, or any combination of those foods
-washing my face

* massage/nonsexual touch in general, but especially on my scalp, hands, or feet
* a hot bath with some sort of good smelling oil or salts in it
* hugging a friend
* making a hot drink like tea or spiced cider when it's cold outside
* swimming or wading in the ocean on a hot day
* deep stretching at the end of the day

The smell of cedarwood incense!
Playing the cello!
Potting soil between my fingers!
Shooting stars!
Strong coffee!
Quiet foggy days!
