the sensation specifically on it, just as familiar as any scraped knee outside
body part, clenching and needing to be comforted after such brutality,
but it’s on the ugly side and there’s just no getting to it. A guy can
always reach down and pull, tug, or scratch his floppies any time needed.
I wonder if he ever knows what he’s missing out on, to not have genitals
tucked up inside of unreachable you and only seriously feel it when the
metal claw clamps and scrapes, the straw pierces and pokes, and you’re
left in a state of tense muscle clenching. So yeah, not enough body parts
to go around.
