The Feeling of Flesh

The feeling of flesh can cause a broad range of emotions and experiences, from the softness of a baby's skin to the roughness of calloused hands. It's a physical and emotional sensation, one that can bring us pleasure, comfort, pain. When we touch someone's flesh, we're not just feeling the surface of their skin. We're also experiencing the warmth and energy of their body, as well as the subtle texture changes brought on by aging, health, and life. The sensation of flesh can be unpleasant or even repulsive for some people. Others find it deeply sensuous and sexual. Flesh is an essential part of the living experience. Our flesh changes and evolves throughout our lives. We develop, we experience joy and pain, all of these things leave marks all over our body. Despite these changes, the sensation of flesh stays constant.
