Ofc I love when she touches my cunt, but I’m even more exhilarated when her fingers find a place that’s rarely touched, like the back of my thigh, directly beneath my ass. The widest part of my legs. An underrated skinspot imo—so fleshy and erotic without the obviousness of tits and ass. Hairs grow there and I let them with an indifference I don’t have for the rest of my body. I want to feel wild there. I want there to be one place that’s under-touched, unmarked. When she finds it, I unclench.
