Addiction to sensations?

Post Reply New Topic

I'm wondering, is it possible to get addicted to normal sensations like hot water running down the body or possibly the feeling of drinking?

I'm addicted to massages and certain songs that I keep playing over and over and over. I'm not sure if that counts.

Yes, that's what I meant.

Define addicted in this sense. There are certain sensations like this I enjoy but I personally wouldn't classify it as an addiction.

I'm addicted to the sensation of water pushing against my body, whenever I go swimming. It's a good feeling.

I'm addicted to the sensation of my cat's fur against my face. Her fur is very soft and has a certain pleasant scent to it. I bury my face in her fur at all opportunities.

In that case, water so hot I can barely stand it on the back of my neck.

when showering...

I love the sensation of the pressure water drops falling on my forehead. While I can't stand people touching me on my forehead. If my wife touches me there, I instantly rub very strongly my hands like crazy on my forehead as to get away with the feeling it caused me.

hot shower water on the back of my neck

best feeling ever ive stood there for like 15 min just letting it run

sux when your neck goes numb after that lol

It seems that hot showers are like crack to auties.

Hot showers are like crack to me.

I used to be able to take hour-long hot showers 1-2 times a day, and I did it because it was exquisite. Sadly, the shower where I live now is inconsequential and pointless in comparison, so I take baths instead.

It's interesting to see how many aspies enjoy the feeling of hot water. I love it too, feeling hot or warm water on my skin. I love the touch of the water running on my skin, especially on my back. I also like feeling the pressure of water on my body during baths or swims. I've always had a fascination with water, with the way it looks, moves, runs, leaks, feels etc. When I was a kid, whenever I had to stay at some relative's house for a few days while my parents were away, my mother would tell them that if I was upset or bored or something they could just put me in a bath and I'd be happy in there for hours.

I also enjoy certain kinds of touch on my back or head, kind of like being petted like an animal.

I like repeating the same songs over and over and sometimes I even repeat just some specific part of a song. I do this to movies and TV shows too, watch a short part of some scenes repeatedly.

I like certain smells a lot. If I use a perfume or a soap that smells really good to me or if I pet a dog, I keep sniffing my hands/skin/clothes to smell it.

I love touching things that are really soft, like certain fabrics or animals.

I like colorful lights like Christmas lights, so I keep them up like half of the year. I enjoy the mild, colorful light from them.

My mom always asks me why my skin is so red after I take a shower, I do not turn the cold water on, I look like a cooked lobster after haha.

I LOVE burning hot showers!
