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

ooh yes!

- snuggling up under thick blankets when it's cold outside
- warm showers
- the sun on my skin
- that bonfire sort of smell that lingers throughout october
- the sound of rain

* 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!

I LOVE those sticky glue strips!! Peeling them off and watching them go TWANG like an elastic band is my favourite part of going through the mail

I agree, it's strangely satisfying.

-Popping bubble wrap
-Getting a scalp massage, or just having someone run their fingers through my hair
-The scent of fresh, damp earth right after rain
-When leaves turn red and gold during fall
-Hot chocolate in winter
-Taking a long walk in the woods fairly early in the mornings when the air is crisp
