Countdown meme: day 8

[liv]

I'm a little surprised that me babbling on about my personal tastes generated so much interesting discussion. So let's try another one: three turn-ons

1. Contrasts in temperature. Cold fingers, warm hands on a cool, damp body, being mostly snuggled under the covers or curled up to a lover but with one part of me exposed to the cold air, cold tiles, warm drinks, ice, wax (it turns out that some people think the last two are really extreme, but I liked them before I knew that).
2. Gentleness. Really, really light touch, and prolonged dwelling on small caresses without getting to the supposed "point". Even taken to an extent that many people find frustrating.
3. Being told what to do. Not necessarily being given orders, but just instructions or even requests, the more detailed the better.

Anyway, I'm writing this on a train with nice wifi. There's an amazingly earnest young student across the aisle from me who is holding forth about all the cool stuff she's been learning at uni, interspersed with why society is going to the dogs. Ever so endearing!

"being mostly snuggled under the covers or curled up to a lover but with one part of me exposed to the cold air,"
I love being snuggled under my quilt with a couple of cats flopped around me and a cool/cold breeze across my face. Also, a hot bath and then running the cold water at a trickle with a foot right under the faucet. Bliss!

In the right mood, I love this. Not in the right mood, it ticks me off no end. :D
