Non-Sexual things that feel good

Like:

Scratching bug bites until they bleed, and then slapping Benadryl on and it stings…ahhhhh

Sinking your aching feet into a tub of cool soapy water

Having your hair washed

Cracking your back.
That first morning cigarette.
Realizing it’s time to leave work.

Taking off your shoes after being on your feet all day and massaging the cramps out of them. (Better still, having someone who would do that for you.)

Getting a spa pedicure, with the parrafin and all. And a manicure as well, with the massage up to the elbows.

Having someone give me a foot massage.

Cuddling on the couch with my son, eating popcorn and watching a Veggie Tales movie.

Clean cool sheets.

Removing your bra.

Hugs.

Getting a ‘real’ letter or card in the mail.

Reading a good book uninterrupted.

Unanticipated hugs or high fives from a teenage son.

Being told the teenage son missed you while he was away at camp, even if it was only when he ran out of clean socks.

When my hair was long, I loved brushing it. Nice long strokes felt wonderful!!!

Some other non-sexual things that feel good…

Long hot baths with a good book and a glass of wine

Foot massages

A cold drink on a hot day

Lots and lots of thick blankets on a cold night

Having someone you care about lying next to you in bed, where you know you can just reach over and touch if the mood strikes you
Not everything, but a good start…

All the foot massage stuff reminds me…
Taking off your ski boots at the end of the day and taking the first few steps (to the couch, obviously). Your feet feel so light and easily moved!
Also,
Peeling off a scab.
Eating really really good ice cream.
Sleeping under a warm blanket in a cool room.
And I can’t believe that nobody’s mentioned back massages.

Oh.

Um, you’ve all been really creative and thought about yours, and I am here to state the obvious and to drag the level of discussion down. I should be embarassed.

But - taking a pee when you have been absolutely busting?
AHHhhhhhh. So good.

Oh yea, and Q-Tips in the ear, eargasms. Although that is *practically *sexual. Ooops, did I give away too much there?

Flannel sheets straight from the dryer on a cold night
Diving into a cool lake on a blistering hot day
The first bite of creme brulee when the top is still perfectly crunchy
A lukewarm shower after a really sweaty workout
A long hug from an old friend

Long, hot bubble baths

Having someone else wash my hair

Having my hair brushed.

Curling up with a good book with only the sound of the rain outside and quiet inside.

Spontanious hugs form my son.

My daughter telling me I’m cool.

When I finish writing a short story or chapter in my book. Even better when my workshop likes it.

Hot tub soaks.
Compliments on a job well done.
Purring lap cats.
Miraculous die rolls (sue me I’m a gamer.)
when something works on my webpage…the first time I try it.
Kicking the snot out of my daily workout. (Not today, but some days.)
Your mom telling you how proud she is of you.
Petting a puppy’s ears.
Aceing a hard test.

Your dog licking you in the face.

Forearm massages.

Leaving work on Friday evening knowing you’ve spent a productive week.

Reading really good science fiction.

And lastly, seeing a post from True Pisces after what seems like a very long absence! :slight_smile:

Doing something well (in my case, writing).

Running as hard as I can for a while. Or lifting or some other physical endeavor.

The knowledge that I have beaten the people who said I couldn’t do X thing.

Thoroughly thrashing an opponent in a game.

Talking to various people. And yes, it does feel THAT good:)

Knowing that I am making a difference, damnit.

Knowing that someone misses me.

What are the best things in life?

[Conan the Barbarian]
To crush your enemies.
To see them driven before you.
And to hear the lamentations of their women.

Heroin and pinball.

Snuggling with a purring cat.

Those brief moments of being half-awake/half-asleep.

Breakfast brought to you in bed by someone who worries about your health.

A 96% on an organic chemistry exam.

A 98% on a multi-variable calculus exam.

Actually having nothing to do and all day in which to not do it.

Music.

Legs just waxed and feeling smoooooth.

The elated exhaustion from dancing. (Or any really good work-out.)

Stretching. Aaahhhhh…

Key lime pie.

Whew! I think I need a cold shower.
