someone who says it better than I can...

“i like my body when it is with your 
body. It is so quite new a thing. 
Muscles better and nerves more. 
i like your body. i like what it does, 
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine 
of your body and its bones, and the trembling 
-firm-smooth ness and which i will 
again and again and again 
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you, 
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz 
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes 
over parting flesh ... And eyes big love-crumbs, 

and possibly i like the thrill 

of under me you so quite new.” 
― E.E. Cummings
