The Manifestation Of Touch

In a way this made sense to me. I mean it was all just sensation, just the manifestation of touch. Just nerve endings registering the contact and your body reacting accordingly. Just that singular sensation, nuanced much in the same way that all sensations are.

Think about it. Think about taste. Sweet and salty. Sour and spicy. Those and all the variations of taste. All of these are vastly different but all of them are all sensed by the same sensors, by the same sensation. All of them are tied together.

Alone any one of them is powerful, but often so powerful that it's lost in the mix. And too often having some combination, some balance between different tastes, makes up an end result that is so much more pleasurable than its individual parts.

Salt on chocolate is delicate, with the salt highlighting as much as it contrasts the sweet. Sour candies make your lips pucker and the most intense of them result in a sensation almost like relief when you break through the outer sour to reach the sweet inside that is so much more than if it had been just on it's own.

Candies can be sickly sweet when isolated. They can be too much for people.

But contrasted with sour, with salt, with spice, they become more nuanced and almost unequivocally more popular.

The other sensations are much the same. A white wall is boring but a rainbow is awe inspiring. A drum solo can be repetitive, but add in the band and it's something that can stand the test of time. Sure, sometimes you can enjoy the solo, but it's when the band breaks back to rejoin in that you realize the contrast and you begin to appreciate the nuance.

All sensations are this way. All experiences are this way.

Why not sex?

In a lot of ways a climax is a singular act. It's an explosion so powerful that it overwhelms you, with a good one taking away your ability to even move of your own volition. You are bent and turned to the purposes in front of you until you're left gasping and begging and grasping for something to hold to as it leaves you buffeted again and again.

And a climax after a long drought is even more powerful. And one built up by foreplay more than that. There are so many ways to enhance and build on that pleasure, even if you dip into the opposite ****.

Pain. Pleasure. Both of them the realm of the sensation of touch. Both of them alike in that they leave you breathless and wanting for relief.

They are opposites, but they are both joined on a spectrum. They are akin to each other, so when you play by dragging your partner back and forth across that spectrum surely you can draw out a little more, surely you can make both extremes more intense to experience.

Right?
