About this listen

Many neurodivergent individuals experience touch sensitivity that makes typical "romantic" caresses feel overwhelming, irritating, or even painful. While partners often assume soft, gentle strokes are universally pleasurable, some nervous systems actually crave firm pressure, sustained contact, or weighted sensations to feel grounded and aroused. The key is recognizing that good touch isn't one-size-fits-all. Partners need to communicate openly about what feels good versus what feels overstimulating. Understanding your own sensory needs helps you advocate for pleasure that actually works for your body, too. Do you experience touch differently than what's typically portrayed as "romantic"? How have you navigated this with partners? If you're ready to explore intimacy that honors neurodivergent needs, find resources in my bio.
