wispfoxOh, good _gods_, I suddenly want touch.
And not just any touch. Touch where I'm not trying to heal someone or be healed. Touch where I don't have to think about whether or not they'll want the touch and/or have to ask for it, or whether or not there are areas I have to be careful about touching (ticklishness can be problematic). Comfy, non-thinking-required...
Gah.
[edit: it's actually fairly difficult for me to be comfortable enough to not think at all when cuddling with someone, and pretty much requires that they are both ridiculously comfy for me to be around _and_ are naturally very cuddly]
[another edit: non-thinking-required != not thinking. By that, I _really_ meant that I don't have to think about the cuddling itself in terms of being highly aware of where to not touch (for tickling reasons, mostly), whether or not the person really _wants_ to be touching for so long, etc...]
[yet another edit: cuddling, for me, implies that physical contact is being initiated by _both_ people, not only one. I need to feel like the other person is actively interested/involved in it, or it's not cuddling.]

Re: thinking / wants / touching
Date: 2004-07-12 06:08 pm (UTC)Thanks for clarifying the not-thinking part. It makes much more sense now.
One of the reasons that I identify with ferrets is the amount that they play/lay/sleep together.
Re: thinking / wants / touching
Date: 2004-07-12 06:44 pm (UTC)I mostly can't, although I _can_ go unable to speak and unable to word things.
It makes much more sense now.
Yeah. I should go clarify in the post itself. :)
