I'm a very sensual person as it is, but because my vision (light, glare, etc. is really disturbing sometimes) has gotten worse over time, I'm finding that I do rely on my other senses more. Your hands in many ways "become" your eyesight. And while my sense of touch has always been important to me, in so many ways, I appreciate touch even more dearly now as I've learned/am learning to compensate.
A few of the things I love touching include:
- The skin of someone that arouses my senses
- Healthy, clean hair (especially if she is my lover/partner, she could lie her head in my lap and be petted for hours!)
- Her hands (Holding them when we're walking or just sitting together; pressing my palm to hers; brushing my fingers along the backs of her hands, her knuckles, along the length of her fingers, tracing her palm in small circles with my fingertips)
- Her lips (Kissing-- I absolutely love kissing, or just touching her lips while I'm caressing her face)
- Garter belts-- the way they feel ON her when you're exploring <wicked grin>
- Certain materials: Velour; Satin; Leather; Lace; worn, aged cotton-- like when sheets are well-tended, loved, and cared for over the years (think of your grandmother's linens, maybe?... how soft they are?); freshly-sanded wood when you're working on a project; the fur of animals (pets); freshly-mown grass; natural, running water (brook or stream), water-smoothed stones; plush carpet
- Heavily-starched shirts (wearing them) and silk ties-- though I generally do not like the feel of silk
- Rough bark, foliage, rock (being in the woods, ALL of my senses come alive)
- Rose petals... so soft they are almost surreal
- Suntan oil (Lotion is ok, but oil is... um... yeah)
This could go on and on....
