539.0. "* =wn= lite * "A Touchy Subject"" by LEZAH::BOBBITT (invictus maneo) Tue Apr 11 1989 14:49

    Well, folks, here's a "touchy subject".  What feels nicest to you?
     
    And please, keep it clean, noter discretion is advised....
    
    As for me, I like:
    
    
    The soft nuzzling of a horse as it nibbles the last bit of apple
    from your outstretched hand...
    
    The smooth warmth of a cup of hot chocolate held with both hands...
    
    Milkweed fluff just as the autumn wind carries it away...

539.1Salt airULTRA::WITTENBERGSecure Systems for Insecure PeopleTue Apr 11 1989 14:544
    A salty  breeze, preferably with a little bit of salt spray. A bit
    of wave motion and a responsive boat complete the pleasure.

 A warm shower after a couple of hours of intense basketball...

 Laying down in my waterbed after a long and tiring day...

 Long fingernails affectionately scratching my back...

 The taste of a cold beer when on the ocean...

 The feel of ecstasy when you play a really hot riff right for the first time...

 The surge of adrenaline when the line starts melting off the reel and you know
 it's "fish on"

 Cuddling with wifey on a cold, fall afternoon

539.15Balance and swing... (and swing, and swing and...)EVER11::KRUPINSKITue Apr 11 1989 21:1112
	In contra-dancing there is a figure called a "swing" which
	is a connected, two person rotation about a common axis.
	(sounds horrible when you say it like that, doesn't it?)

	Every once in a great while, a person comes along with 
	just the right combination of height, weight, mechanics, 
	dancing skill and who knows what else, that just happens 
	to be in perfect harmony with your own, and a swing becomes 
	an effortless, dizzying whirl, the feeling of which has no equal.

    A steaming hot shower (with or without company)

    	What feels nicest to me? Why, looking into another person's
    eyes, and seeing some admiration and approval of me there. No
    guitar riffs, wheelies on motorcycles, or watching little fluffies
    fly about on a warm spring day even comes close.
    
    	I guess it's kinda too bad for me that I've not grown up and
    out of *that* being what feels nicest to me, but - you asked!

539.26HANDY::MALLETTBarking Spider IndustriesWed Apr 12 1989 12:5518
    I certainly identify with a lot of what I've read here but,
    since Joe's (.24) struck a particular resonance for me, I 
    thought I'd share a thought that his reply brought to mind.
    As a brief background, let me just say that the last few months
    have been reasonably difficult in this corner of the world and,
    to some extent, I'd come to see myself as (in the words of a
    poet-friend) something of a scum-sucking capon.  To steal a
    cliche, I'd met the enemy and he was me.  
    
    But I was lucky - I have some very good friends who helped me
    through some of my tougher moments, so today I can find a degree
    of pleasure in looking in the mirror; instead of seeing Mr. Hyde, 
    I can honestly say that the person looking back isn't all *that*
    bad a dude.  I may not wear a red cape with and leap tall buildings
    in a single bound (yet), but I don't have to hate that person in
    the mirror any more, and that feels pretty good.

    Changing into jeans, a sweatshirt and flat shoes, after being "dressed

    Warm sun on my face and skin the first really warm days of spring
    or summer.

    The first hot blast from the car heater after trudging across a
    cold, wet parking lot.

    The feel of a waltz with the right partner:  Seeing only her face,
    with a blur behind it, the almost imperceptible changes in hold to
    lead  her,  the  slight  rubbing  of  our  legs, and the not quite
    dizzying feeling from turning continuously.

    Holding hands while walking.

    Arms gently wrapped around me.

    The sound  of my baby sister explaining her latest crazy exploits.

      I know where you're comming from Joe J. I still need that look of
      approval too, at least in my personal relationships.

      I love feel of warm spring air.

      That grand feeling of oneness with my horse when we hit our pace on
      a long ride. It's like being a centaur.

      Hugging a warm body in the cool mountain air.

      My dogs snuggling up to me at night.

    I could agree with most of these!
    
    For me:
    
    My cat's ears--tooo silky for words!
    
    Birdsong when I'm out walking the first thing in the morning.
    
    The way the wind sings and sighs in pine trees.
    
    "Sparklies" on the water on a bright sunny day.
    
    "Dancing" in the water--the way your body feels weightless.
    
    I love the smoothness and glassiness of cut minerals, or of smoothed
    stones;  especially rose quartz.
    
    Lying on the living room floor, reading--with the sun on my back.
    
    I love the way the melted marshmallows stick to your upper lip when
    you drink hot chocolate.

    A long hot shower after a good aerobic workout...

    curling up in front of a roaring fire on a cold day...

    driving on a clear spring day with the windows wide open and the
    music turned up...

    walking and walking on a gorgeous spring/summer day, feeling the 
    sun on my face and just feeling free...

    someone running his hands through my hair...

    HUGS!!!

    A rainy Saturday (all day) in bed with a big fluffy comforter, great
    coffee, and a wonderful book!
    
    Snowy Sunday afternoons with movie classics and popcorn!
    
    A hot bath, glass of wine, and George Winston on the player.
    
    Snuggling with my favorite live teddybear between the sheets!
