What are some of the non-sexual pleasures men enjoy? For example, I like saunas and soaking baths with salts and scented candles.

    Any time I can lie down on the ground in the sun, I feel great. Warm sun and fresh air. If it’s after I’ve just finished swimming in a body of natural water, that’s even better.

    Imagine jumping into cold water, feeling the shock, swimming around for a bit, then feeling tired so you paddle over to a big slightly sloped red rock, and you lie there on your back. The rock is warm from the sun, and stays warm underneath you because it’s been absorbing heat all day.

    That feeling between when you decide to lay down for a nap and actually falling asleep. When there’s nothing on your mind, and you get your blankets just right, It’s like coziness cranked to 11. One of my favorite sensations.

      This is actually something of a weakness of mine. I can do that so easily that sometimes I just take a nap, despite all the pressures I’m under.

      None of these things are limited to men. None of these things are necessarily things all men would like either. Kind of a closed mind to even have to ask the question like that in the first place like there are things only men enjoy or things that women enjoy that men simply would not.

        There are new humans being born all the time, without all the knowledge and perspectives that we take for granted. We all came here ignorant, and we all had to learn.

        Someone once told me this, and it has encouraged me to give questions asked in good faith honest answers (to the best of my ability). It doesn’t cost me anything (except maybe my time), and maybe, just maybe, I had the privilige of helping someone learn something new.
