Draconic Summit Autumn 2022 - mature-otherkind-experiences

wow i haven't ever really had a space to explain this without worrying about minors seeing it so! yay! but yeah uh it's impossibls to explain in words the importance of physical touch to me when, in my angelic life (the biggest aspect of my identity honestly) i didn't really have a body for the longest time. i could appear different ways, usually as a mass of wings, but i didn't really experience physical touch. i didn't feel. and then i fell to earth and gained a body and every little touch was like !!!!!! anyways i'm mostly wondering if anyone else here has an experience like that, where their sense of touch was very different or nonexistent, and how that affects you now

A few of us were angels, once, at one point Or in the least , was considered one by those physical- we never really thought about the physical touch aspect but I can tell you, since we went to earth afterwards for the very reason of being able to touch+intimacy( we had a physical lover we wanted to see,,, it took a while of incarnating though.) We were, very sensitive but oddly enough had high pain tolerance from what I remember? Which was better for when things were more rough intimacy wise.

My species had fairly thick scales with no nerve endings in them, so I didn't really experience the gentle side of touching, with the exception of the tip of my snoot. The scales were thinner there and I could feel a little bit. So now having a human body with all its delicate skin and super fine hairs to amplify touch... I was literally addicted to back scratches as a kid and any light touch makes me instantly go into molten cat mode. Pet me pet me pet me!!!!

glad it's not just me lol, and i don't remember what my pain tolerance was like. at the very beginning everything was overwhelming really. i remember being helped up off the ground once someone found me and just our hands brushing together was like. A LOT. so i can assume my pain tolerance was really low at least at first, but once i got used to more normal stuff i just couldn't get enough of physical intimacy for a while ajskfkf even now it feels almost sacred in a way

My scales didn’t impede sensation at all I don’t think. I felt things just fine. But my relationship to sensation as a dragon certainly affects me now. In the sense that pain was a part of mating then, and still is now.

I like being petted

Oh same. I will absolutely melt for any petting
