Hands

Ok, perhaps its just me, but one of the first things I notice are someone’s hands.  Hands can tell you a lot about a person, especially male hands. Hands I find attractive are sensuous.

So your saying to yourself, sensuous, that is a cop-out; I don’t think so. What is the definition of sensuous?

Simply: affecting the senses in a pleasing way : pleasant, attractive, or appealing in a way that produces or suggests feelings of physical or sexual pleasure.

Since we are all different , what is sensuous to me may not be to you.

To me large, well groomed, strong yet gentle and warm can make me catch my breath.

For Example:

Hands can be a symbol of so much. So many different kinds of work are done by hands; sometimes even the worker is referred to by his/her hands as in a farm hand, all hands on deck, and so on.

Hands can be so very strong, and at the same time are capable of performing the most delicate maneuvers as in a surgeon or a musician. They can show such tenderness and love. They can tell much about a person, too

Are they smooth?

Are they rough?

Are they covered in scratches and scars?

Are they soft and pale or tanned and calloused?

Are they well groomed?

Are they large or small?

I don’t know if men pay as much attention to hands as women tend to, but maybe one of the reasons women tend to admire them is because when we see a large, strong man’s hand entwined with the smaller woman’s hand, we think of protection. Or maybe it’s much simpler…….

Maybe when we are feeling that vibe of attraction, we just naturally look at his hands and imagine them exploring every inch of our bodies

Any thoughts?

I enjoyed this as my eyes always seem to migrate to the hands. Now, I don't find myself looking at a man's hands to often but the female hands are more my focus. And for many reasons, like you said, the hands can say so much. Nicely expressed.

We need them to be strong, but gentle, reassuring with a squeeze, masterful, and we even love those stupid sarcastic hands that clap for our downfalls, but our hero holds out a hand when we fall and gently picks us up. I could go on... <3
