Okay, so I want to do a poll about skin thirst, but we’ve proven I’m actually terrible at poll design, plus I think I need to be able to sum up what skin thirsty is in like 200 characters. So! While I make dinner I’m gonna work on that in this thread, and I’m SUPER open to suggestions.

Edit: poll! https://chaosfem.tw/@Willow/113626166762795325

Sample:

Do you experience skin thirst (when your skin thirsts for touch and attention in a sensual way, analogous to but distinct from being horny or sexually aroused. This is episodic - you could also but not necessarily be chronically touch starved) and/or horny?

I’m curious to know how many people are able to identify skin thirstiness as distinct from just wanting sex or just wanting casual or romantic touch. Think: “my skin is CRAVING touch from and to touch someone, in this specific moment.”

- I get skin thirsty and it’s sometimes or always fully detached from being horny, which I may or may not also get.
- I get skin thirsty and horny and these things are connected, but I can feel them as different things and while they are related, they don’t change in lockstep.
- I get horny and do not experience distinct skin thirstiness.
- I don’t get horny or skin thirsty.
- Obligatory “view results”

@Willow I've never had this. Closest I can say is having some desire to be physically close, but that's directional toward a specific person. I've also never really felt the need for touch and kind of had to learn to naturally insert touch in relationships because it does not come naturally to me.
