I would like to be the small spoon sometimes…
It really can’t compare to anything when you are stressed or upset, to be held makes a huge difference.
It's nice. My girlfriend is about half my size and she's a good big spoon.
Jetpacking
I mean, I agree with the meme completely, but I’d also want to turn around in their arms and cuddle them right back. I’m a fan of both hugging and being hugged, and it might be a sensory thing.
Nothing wrong with that.
I'm not huge of cuddling and tend to get overheated easily when I do, but I find it really pleasurable (non-sexually) when my wife runs her finger/fingernail on my hand or arm. Just light touch in general feels incredibly stimulating, but it's kind of a weird thing to outright ask for so I just kind of enjoy it when it comes around. I also like when my kid steps on my arms or legs when climbing on me. I should probably look into massage therapy.
You feel how you feel but just wondering why this feels like such a weird thing to ask for? My own partner told me he enjoys that kind of light touch (also sensorially rather than sexually) and I try to do it whenever I think about it, and it makes me happy that he's enjoying it, and it's not like it's a struggle for me.
I don't honestly know why it feels so weird. I guess maybe because it feels a little self-serving and silly. Like, asking for a massage serves a function to relieve muscle tension. But asking for stimulating tickles on my arm makes me feel self-conscious for some reason.
Please tell her. I'm sure she will be glad to know that you like it, and will do it more often.
For me it's the opposite, light touches give me discomfort, and firm touches with pressure are comforting from a sensory experience. Talking about it with your partner is really important.
I second telling her!
And I'm also one for firm squeezes instead. Light touches make me overstimulated. All the light touches for my partner instead!
Hey yeah I'm a massage therapist we will do anything you ask as long as it's not sexual or doesn't go beyond the boundaries of the standard sheet-draping protocols.
I'm not suggesting you seek me out specifically, but just letting you know that any massage therapist is trained to meet the needs of the customer. Within the scope of our licensure.
There is a basic protocol and flow that we all generally follow, which DOESN'T include light tickly touches or scratching or squishing or climbing but you CAN request such things if that's what you like.
That's cool to know. I don't think I would be comfortable seeking the touch/grazing part from a therapist, but I've never had a professional massage and I feel like I'd really benefit from one. My legs especially. I figure it's due to being on my feet full-time at my job, but pushing and dragging my palms along my quads before bed every feels incredible.
Medical bills are so evil ...
Man: "alright, fell right into the trap"
Proceeds to cut one
Well of course you have to fuel the jetpack.
This is actually how the concept of the modern vibrator was conceived.
That really is one of the best parts of being with someone that will let you be vulnerable as a guy.
We talk about toxic masculinity online, but can can you imagine having to keep that front of "manly man" up even when you're in bed with your spouse/SO? How fucking cruel a world that is.
Sometimes, when you're a man, you end up having to shove all that stress down so you can handle things. Having someone that not only recognizes that, but reaches out to help when it's finally safe to let go of the bullshit is just miraculous. Not having to be the big spoon, to have someone comfort and shelter you, to be your strength when you've run out of it. That's beautiful.
Indeed, it seems that many women have a hard time relating to how difficult it is to be a man in the modern world, especially when you're being told you are undesirable, toxic, and expendable literally everywhere you go these days.
That's why I love this meme though, because instead of fighting fire with fire and demonizing or disparaging women, it encourages a more tender and wholesome solution to the problem.
