the most intimate thing a human can do.

I must confess. I have found the most intimate thing a human can do to another human. It leaves a fuzziness in your head. Spaced out. Hairs standing up straight to attention on your arms. It leaves you completely entranced by the other. Wanting more. To live in that moment forever. For the chill to never leave my spine. For the goose bumps to leave, settle back down into my skin.

It’s not what you’re thinking.

It’s not a kiss on the forehead. Sharing secrets in the deep hours of night. Staring at your bride at the altar. Encouraging words. Those late-night activities that stay between you, your person, and God.

No, none of those compares to this feeling.

The feeling of listening to someone whisper.

It is the most effective way to enthral me. Whisper to me, and I am all yours. Especially soft voices or accents. I have never been more under someone else’s control than when they are by my ear.
