it gets complicated b/c if you’re tense and dissociated then touch feels neutral to bad, you need to already be a certain level of relaxed for touch to feel viscerally directly good and some people never are (he said, mostly sbout himself)

i had *no idea* it was possible for touch to feel as physically good as it felt in that moment, because until that moment i had *never* felt fully safe being touched, and that includes with 4 previous partners
