    Before I read your comment I was not contemplating licking any of those things, but now you’ve put the idea in my head.

    The human brain is surprisingly good at imagining the feeling of licking surfaces you may not have licked before. You can probably imagine the texture of licking a cat quite accurately. They’re shedding when you do.

      My bf’s dog licked my face one time, so I licked his face as a response. His expression afterward was…a mixture of startled and appalled.

      I told him if he does it as a sign of affection, then I can too. I’m not sure he bought it.

      That’s cause you built an encyclopedic index of textures when you were a baby. Everything went in your mouth.
