ysabetwordsmithEveryone needs contact comfort sometimes. Not everyone has ample opportunities for this in facetime. So here is a chance for a cuddle party in cyberspace. Virtual cuddling can help people feel better.
We have a cuddle room that comes with fort cushions, fort frames, sheets for draping, and a weighted blanket. A nest full of colorful egg pillows sits in one corner. There is a basket of grooming brushes, hairbrushes, and styling combs. A bin holds textured pillows. There is a big basket of craft supplies along with art markers, coloring pages, and blank paper. The kitchen has a popcorn machine. Labels are available to mark dietary needs, recipe ingredients, and level of spiciness. Here is the bathroom, open to everyone. There is a lawn tent and an outdoor hot tub. Bathers should post a sign for nude or clothed activity. Come snuggle up!
Enjoy some Valentine's Day recipes.

>> Just so yo know, I'm definitely *not* a writer. <<
Nobody starts out as a writer. It's something you learn by doing it.
>> And I'm not sure what direction I want to go with this, so I'd like to get some thoughts from others to help me on my way. Could be anything - emotional connections, types of touches, situations that are platonic (or not so platonic), etc.<<
I've written about Nonsexual Intimacies and Skin Hunger that you may find helpful.
Writing contact comfort is primarily about describing sensory experiences. So it helps to choose an activity, or a series of related activities, and then describe in detail what that is like through the different senses.

Some possibilities:
* snuggling in a blanket with a warm drink during a storm
* petting a purring cat
* a relaxing foot rub
* Pick a position from The Cuddle Sutra.
>>For now I'm going to start setting up a blanket fort in the cuddle room. Feel free to pop in and curl up for a bit. =]

Date: 2023-02-09 11:17 pm (UTC)The post on Skin Hunger I read a while back - that's where I learned there was a term for some of the things I felt were missing but couldn't explain in words. I'll probably re-read it, and I'm looking forward to perusing the Nonsexual Intimacies post and the Cuddle Sutra link as well.
I think the how-to links are going to be a big help too. My ability to be descriptive is pretty much limited to what I put in emails at work. XD
And, since you hung around the fort for a bit...
