Do you consider yourself a sensuous person?

[NewWaveChick1981]

Poll question: Do you consider yourself a sensuous person?

Do you revel in sights, smells, touches, tastes, and/or sounds? :) Or do they bore you or just get in the way sometimes? Or are you one of those people who don't care one way or the other?

I'm definitely sensuous. I love petting my dogs because their fur is so soft and they radiate heat when they play. I love eating good food. I love the way the air smells after a summer rain. I love the sight of a gorgeous sunset. And I love the sound of good music. My senses speak to my soul, and that's what makes me feel good.

What about you? (And remember, let's not get this thread locked! :hi: )

[LadyoftheRabbits]

1. Oh yes...

I love everything. Well, nearly. :hi: :D

[NewWaveChick1981]

2. Excellent!

:hi: Same here. :)

[ZombieNixon]

3. Oh, yes.

Without senses, life would be so very boring. :(

[NewWaveChick1981]

6. Exactly!

:hi:

[buddhamama]

4. Yes!

All the senses but the sense of touch most especially. i am tactile person. :hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

7. Very cool...

:hi: I'm exactly the same way.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

5. My dear NewWaveChick!

Do you have to ask?

Hell yes, baby!

:bounce: :bounce:

[NewWaveChick1981]

8. Let's hear it for senses!

:bounce: :toast: Excellent, CP! :hi:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

9. nope not in the least bit

i am asensuous

warm rain does nothing for me

nor does flowers

nor does food or sex

this is why i am a bitter person!

[NewWaveChick1981]

12. Wow, lioness...

:hug:

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. i was just being sarcastic

[NewWaveChick1981]

19. Oh, okay...

:P Hard to tell on the Net sometimes. :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

13. I was going to say something here but...

it wouldn't have been nice and the post probably would have been rightfully deleted.

[Writer]

10. My senses bore me because I tend to be a very cerebral person.

But when it's time to get busy, I get BUSY. :evilgrin:

[NewWaveChick1981]

11. Well, at least you know when to put them to good use.

:hi: :evilgrin:

[Writer]

15. All it takes is a brilliant mind to get me going.

Then I am 100% theirs.

[billyskank]

14. Too much

Sensual people are prone to get depressed also.

[lizziegrace]

17. Billy!!

Would you rather be any other way? :hug:







:loveya:

[billyskank]

18. I don't know, lizzie

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

28. We'd prefer you stay just the way you are.

:hug:

[buddhamama]

34. yes, we would !

thank you for saying it. he is perfectly billy. :hug:

[NewWaveChick1981]

21. ...

:hug: :hi:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. My dear billy.........

It's true that sensuous people get depressed......

We feel things so much more deeply than most, I think.......

I've been there, sweetie.......

But I try to concentrate on all the good that has come to me from my own sensuality....

For me, the good far outweighs the bad, the painful.......

:hug:

[buddhamama]

23. agreed, dearest Peggy

sensuous people do feel things so much more deeply than most.

i try to concentrate on the good too. :hug:

[LostinVA]

20. Most definitely

One thing I love that many think is weird: running in the rain, in the woods. Even if it's cold out. But, especially if it's warm(ish), and I only have on shorts and a singlet. LOVE IT.

(Notice I made it G-rated... sorry, gang.)

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

26. Running in the run?

Is that like running in the sun?

:hide:

[LostinVA]

29. Shut up or I'll kick your ass

I fixed it -- DU did something weird as I was typo-checking it. I just got back on.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

31. Sure blame it on the fact that you and your Freeper ways broke DU.

[LostinVA]

36. I love turning Freeper -- it's so liberating... but the sex is bad

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

38. The Freeper I know is very liberated in that department...

but I think she's an oddity among freepers. I'd spread my democracy to her, but alas she is married.

[LostinVA]

43. Jaysus -- sex with a Freep

I may have to disown you.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

46. She's hot and a perv, unfortunately a straight perv.

She married my friend and by extension, I ended up with a legitimate registered Freeper as a friend.

[LostinVA]

47. *shudder*

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

49. She even wears pearls with her cowboy hat & boots in sharp contrast

to my cowboy hat & hemp necklace.

[LostinVA]

50. I've been trying to find a decent hemp necklace and have had no luck

Just as an aside.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

52. I bought mine at the Emporium in Mystic, CT.

They have everything.

It has a shark tooth on it, that is incidentally very sharp. I nearly stabbed myself in the neck with it once.

[LostinVA]

53. I actually believe you almost did

And, I just have to lecture: you shouldn't be taking Percs for a headache...

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

55. Well, they worked.

And I've had a bottle of 15 for three months. I have ten left. That's not shabby.

[LostinVA]

56. I have a whole bottle of Vicodin prescribed last December

Opiates make me psychotic (literally). I could make a mint if I sold them. I wonder if Limbaugh is stocked up for the weekend???

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

57. You should look into that.

[NewWaveChick1981]

33. R-rated would have been OK...

:hi: I kinda figured you were in the "sensuous" group. :P

[LostinVA]

58. I didn't want to get this locked!

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

24. Currently 69% of DUers are very sensuous.

I just thought I would point that out.

[ZombieNixon]

27. A very worthy point.

:thumbsup:

[NewWaveChick1981]

30. Excellent number.

:P ;) I tried answering earlier, but DU kicked me out.

Not surprising, given the number of godless libruls we have here. :)

[ZombieNixon]

37. Dammit!

74% just isn't as poetic. I know nothing about the 74 position. :hide:

[NewWaveChick1981]

39. LOL... I was talking about haruka's number...

:P Seems the numbers have changed...

If you do learn about the 74 position, please fill in the details for us... :P

[ZombieNixon]

42. Is it bad that I already have an idea of what it might be?

:evilgrin:

[NewWaveChick1981]

44. Nope.

:hi: That's what being on DU's all about. :rofl:

[ZombieNixon]

48. Because I have this poster...

and one of the...er...diagrams on it rather strikingly resembles the number 74. :rofl:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

51. DU...

Discovering New Sexual Undertones Daily.

[NewWaveChick1981]

59. Exactly.

:hi: Great motto, haruka!

[Kat45]

25. My boyfriend always remarks about how sensuous I am

He is, as well. When we get together, we have a feast for the senses. We'll go out to dinner, try new foods and drink, share them with each other. Then we'll go back to his house and share of ourselves. We use all our senses, and revel in it. I'm so glad I met him earlier this year.

[NewWaveChick1981]

32. Sounds like the two of you were made for each other..

:hi: :bounce: That's fantastic!

[bridgit]

35. natch...

[NewWaveChick1981]

40. Cool!

:hi:

[bridgit]

41. hey, doll...

:hi: :hug:

[speedoo]

45. Most definitely.

I can become quite emotional if I allow my senses to be overwhelmed by whatever I am enjoying. I frequently tear up, just listening to beautiful music, or if I visit the Metropolitan Museum and gaze at the great paintings there.

I was stunned for weeks after seeing Van Gogh's paintings for the first time, and learning about his life.

And women? Well, I don't want to get this thread locked but I can assure you that every sense of mine is fully engaged!!:* :hi:

[NewWaveChick1981]

60. I'm glad you make good use of your senses, speedoo..

:hi: Mine are fully engaged in every situation too. :evilgrin:

[speedoo]

62. Use them or lose them. Right, darlin'?

Our senses, I mean.:*

Oh, and I sure hope your husband knows how lucky he is. You are all woman.:loveya:

[NewWaveChick1981]

66. That's right, speedoo...

And thanks. :D I think he appreciates me, but I'll just have to ask him to clarify. :rofl:

:* :loveya:

[cwydro]

54. oh yes

all those things you said and more. I love to go barefoot and even notice the different textures of the ground/pavement/mud/dust or whatever...I love it...

Hmmm, but I thought this was going to be a sexy thread:P

[NewWaveChick1981]

61. Well, it is...

...but we didn't want to get it locked. :) :evilgrin:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

63. Yes, I'm the same way about walking barefoot.

I hate shoes. I call it my hippie trait. Until it's really fucking cold out, like tonight, I don't wear shoes, unless I'm going in public.

[Deja Q]

64. Yes, but I'm in need of wanting to prove it to somebody special...

[NewWaveChick1981]

68. ...

:hug: We'll see what we can come up with for you, HT... :hi:

[Deja Q]

69. Awww, thanks!

Social ineptitude has left me very lonely, you see...

Still, I think I did find somebody, but life has a habit of ensuring things don't work out. :)

[MrScorpio]

65. Of course!

Is there any question?

[NewWaveChick1981]

67. With a name like MrScorpio, you can't HELP but be sensuous...

:hi:

[Redstone]

70. And sensual, too. (Not a lockable comment.)

Much more so since I met Mrs R.

Redstone

[xchrom]

71. i simply can't imagine being any other way.

even scratching a good itch brings paroxysms of delight.

and food? -- don't get me started -- i could have it off thinking about truffles or a smoked salmon -- and then there is chocolate -- ahhhhooommmm.

love dogs -- love to look at dogs and play fetch with them.

i think that's why i love to watch track and field events.

and last but not least -- sex -- is there anything better in life?

[bigwillq]

72. Very much so!

:hi: :hug:

[skygazer]

73. Very much so

Smells mean whole worlds to me and I have so many memories that come rushing back with the hint of a scent.

Touch can be amazing. I walk though a grove a Redwoods to my mailbox and I have a tendency to reach out and just delicately brush my fingers against the bark - amazing, beautiful trees and so stately and alive.

As for taste - one of my most vivid memories is of the first meal I ate after my mother's death. I'd become sick with a terrible throat infection the day after she died and was laid up in bed for a week or more - nothing but clear liquids and delerious with fever. When I finally managed to get out of bed and totter weakly out to the kitchen, my sister made me two fried eggs and toast.

I can still taste them.

[reyd reid reed]

74. I'm definitely a sensuous person...

Particularly when it comes to some things (and no...not necessarily what you're thinking, sheeeeesh). I love the way paper feels and smells and sounds. Buying a new book is an Experience. I'll buy it, bring it home and put it where I can see it through the day. Where I can touch the jacket and the spine and the edges of the pages; I won't open it, though. Not until after everyone's gone to bed and I'm by myself and it's quiet. Then I'll take it upstairs with me and sit with it, just enjoying the weight of it, the smooth, cool feel of the jacket, the slightly rougher texture of the pages inside, the way the spine crackles just the tiniest bit the first time I open it. The way it smells and the way the light hits the page...

There's nothing like it. Reading it's almost anti climatic.

Almost.

I'm kind of the same way when it comes to notebooks, stationary and pens.

Weird? Maybe...but I like it.

[catbert836]

75. People aren't sensuous.

Vegetables are sensuous. People are sensual.

[NewWaveChick1981]

76. Actually, Mrs. Wormer said, "Vegetables are sensual. People

are sensuous." :P

[treestar]

77. I'm on overload

I think I might have been sensuous in an earlier era, but now my eyes and especially my ears are overwhelmed.

I am sort of lucky in being relatively insensitive to smells and hate hearing them talked about, especially hate reading about them. I read some novels by Nora Roberts but finally quit in disgust because she is always going on about a person's "scent." Somehow that reduces people to animals, sort of!
