What gives you pleasure?
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

And you to whom adversity has dealt the final blow/with smiling bastards lying to you everywhere you go/turn to and put out all your strength of arm and heart and brain/and like the Mary Ellen Carter rise again.

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