I'm told ice is an uncommon one. It's hard to explain except to say it's one of those things where none of your five (or more) senses fail to please.
Temperature play is fairly common. Also the 5 senses concept is outdated, theres far more than 5 senses and temperature is maybe the sixth.
I know, I just didn't want to confuse people by saying something like the "eight senses".
Sight: The aesthetics of ice and snow
Sound: The crinkling and dropping of ice
Smell: The fresh smell of the Winter
Taste: The crunchy goodness of anything ice-related
Touch: The lack of pain of the cold
Proprioception: The restrictions of ice
Temperature: The cold
Balance: The slipperiness
Interoception: Feeling the body react to it
There's even more than that. There's a sense that's specifically where your body parts are in relation to each other. Sense of direction is a very real thing as well. We don't have the ability to tell if something is wet though. There's a specific sense that some animals, like platypuses, have. We just have to guess based on information from the other senses we do have
That's proprioception
I could swear i learnt all this at the same time. A vsauce video maybe?
If there's a sense of direction, is there a sense of time too?
Theoretically yes, just don't ask anybody with ADHD
So don't ask my mom? Got it.
There are also the senses of hunger, thirst, if you need to pee or poo. And the sense of too much carbon dioxide in your system. We can't actually sense a lack of oxygen.
You can smell ice?
Yep. The male lead from The Cutting Edge talks about loving the smell of ice. Toe pick.
Oh, I remember that!
It's more of a lack of smell I guess. It has an associated "fresh scent" because it's just water.
