People Are Sharing The Non-Sexual Things That Turned Them On, And It Is Sending Me

When someone asks you about the things that turn you on, we immediately go to the sexual things, and usually, that's what they're asking for.

But what about all those other things that weirdly get you going even though there isn't anything sexual about them? Sometimes they're such simple things, but they feel so intimate.

When you ask someone who is not a massage therapist for a massage, you pretty much know what that means, but there is something amazing about a professional getting those extra tough muscles.

I think it's an exciting thing, too, when someone likes to look at what I have. It gives you the feeling that they're learning about you and asking you questions about yourself.

Taking glasses off, putting glasses on, if you can do those things without poking a person's eye, you better apply some lip chap because some smooching is going to start soon.

There is something so intimate about touching someone's hand, especially if it is someone you don't know. It feels like such a personal thing even though we use our hands so much.

Since every human on Earth is a pervert in some way, shape, or form, doing things like eating a popsicle or a banana has become a bit taboo. However, there is something cute about watching someone struggle to eat a popsicle without making a mess.
