Most Elaborate Pleasures?

20 replies

HunnyCaramel · 06/04/2019 23:12

Get a lot of threads about simple pleasures - teas, lie ins etc. But i'm curious about the opposite; what is the opposite of a simple pleasure, and what IS your most elaborate pleasure? Sipping orangutan milk from a jewel encrusted goblet? Skydiving with your cat? Taking obscure drugs with rainforest tribes?

Struggling to think of my own really, might get inspiration from others.

Laying naked on a large sheepskin rug, just writhing around in the sheer softness against my bare skin.

Lost count of the number of times I've been booted out of Home Sense/Tk Maxx though.

Well that's a bit personal isn't it? Wink

If I didn't get seasick on a puddle it would be cresting the waves on an old-fashioned schooner following dophins and whales.

I did gallop through the waves on a hot sunny beach in Morocco - that was pretty fantastic. The horses looked dreadful when we saw them - dirty, small... but they were wonderful.

Ooo, ok yes beach riding, thats one of mine too!

I would totally pay to be in an experience like the Lloyds Bank advert where you all get up at dawn to meet beautiful wild horses running free on the beach.

5 star hotels. Just love them. Give me two nights in a destination hotel with a balcony, room-service breakfast, decadent tasting menus, fantastic service, and I’m a very happy lady.

KissingInTheRain · 06/04/2019 23:38

Mine’s a bit like Palominoo’s

After that Miley Cyrus wrecking ball video I longed to lick some hammers. It was great but I ended up with a police caution and being banned from Homebase.

I am unsophisticated. For me that was a wildly imaginative morning.

HunnyCaramel · 07/04/2019 00:15

Haha as much as the rug thing sounds tempting mine has to be a massage...probably only at most 3 or 4 times per year but its an elaborate pleasure that definitely does me good! (And very much worth the money)

A five hour sex meeting in a hotel arranged via a chat app, followed in the day of afterglow by further lengthy text sex to orgasm with two other men via two different apps, including pictures and videos of all of us. I think it's all amazing. I am lying around feeling like Cleopatra.

HunnyCaramel · 07/04/2019 00:40

Wow temporary, yup i think that fits the bill! EnvyGrin

I had a hot tub for a few years, loved slipping my bikini on after the kids were in bed on a winter evening and slipping out the back door and into a hot steaming tub. Also love me a girlie spa day but don't get them often, all the lovely smells, girl time, high tea and a massage of course. Had a facial once too, that was a bit nice 😁

Anything that involves "trouble" to another person gives me great delight.

Not in a nasty way. But, for example, it's my birthday next week and when my DM asks me what I want, I'm going to ask her for my favourite meal, which she will cook. That means more to me than any "present".
