Just finished neutering a stray dog, and it weakly licked my fingers. In that moment, I suddenly remembered the feeling of being gently cared for when I was young. Life moves so fast now, so fast that I often forget true intimacy isn't just about physical connection, but about that unreserved vulnerability and trust. Tonight, holding François, I told him I didn't want anything intense today—just to slowly, deeply feel each other. His hand stroked my back, like he was soothing that little dog. Sometimes, the deepest desire is to be fully embraced, along with all your weariness and tenderness. What about you? Is there a moment when you suddenly crave the complete opposite?
