Icky things that actually feel kinda good: # 1- a cold finger in your ear. as long as it is your finger, you ear and cold like ice.: Your turn!
Ha! yessssss! But also, preferably done while wearing a heavy winter coat and loooking at something kind of cool in a department-store. Let it rip, waft your coat, and leave quicker than anything.. As soon as anyone else walks up to the interesting stuff they'll meet yor cloud of smelly. Ha!
ooooOOoooh. Yeah Okay. I know that one. Teh ex suxxors no matter how much like honey they might have tasted. It's a rule.
Hey! breaking glass. With your bare hands. And possibly getting terribly hurt (but not really and not often.). It has that weird kind of "crunch" to it. Icky etc. I used to bite it off, which is ickier.
I use a neti pot to help with nasal allergies and congestion, and let me tell you, when a nice big thick long ol' rope of sinus goo just sloooooooowly eases its way out of your nostril like a slug through a tennis racket, you can almost see Jesus.
Ok, so there's this itchy feeling deep inside your nose, and you keep wiggling your nose to make it go away because you're right in the middle of something and don't have anything to blow your nose on, but it keeps getting worse until finally you duck just in time and sneeze all over your hand or arm or whatever you used as surrogate for a tissue.
And while you're sneezing, you're aware of little else but the fact that your consciousness is almost completely occupied with the sensation of sneezing (kind of like orgasm -- the only thought you're capable of is OMG I'm sneezing/coming) and just as the sneeze starts to dissipate, you worry that a huge glob of snot has landed on your hand/arm/whatever, but the sneeze is still fading away and you don't really care all that much, because it just feels so amazing to be done with it all.
Back in the day, I had this thing for Chrissie Hynde of The Pretenders. She was really hot, but in that nasty kinda way, y'know. It was one of those situations where you knew you would probably catch something, but didn't care. Is that what you mean?
Icky? When you feel your lungs are all congested and just invest in that deep Hoick- and-spit.
Clears everything right out, and you breathe a lot easier.
When you have a really huge, really crusty booger in your nose, and you finally go into the bathroom and pick it and put it in a piece of toilet paper, and it's this gargantuan, oddly shaped thing with a nice string of slime that you can feel coming out of your nose and stretching all the way up there to a place that you could never reach in a million years.
Taking it out feels good. Looking at it is like participating in a mad science experiment. Telling anyone about it would be completely insane and seriously ill-advised.
Oh, and please, if you've never done this before and choose to try it now, please be sure to wash your hands afterwards. Snot is known to contain nasty bacteria!
Finally dropping a big, hard log of crap, your whole body shuddering a moment as it passes. I always wonder if it's at all similar to the feeling of being buggered.
