I got my hair cut yesterday. As the woman was using the clippers, a vague memory of old very pleasurable experience washed over me. The memory was of haircuts when I was a young boy and loving the electric clippers. I have always found something very comforting about the hum of the motor and the sensation on the scalp. As I revisited this memory while having the sensation in the present moment, I realized that this might be my oldest erotic memory. This, of course, is the expanded use of the word erotic - simply the first time in my life I felt and could identify a pleasurable sensation as just that.
I have always had an interest in using electric clippers on someone else's head in an intimate erotic encounter. I have mentioned it to a few people, but those conversations never turned into anything real. (Interestingly, I'm not interested in the activity in a fetishistic way, only as a means of greater connection and play...)
At that moment during my haircut, I felt very grateful for tracing this back, the buzz and pleasant vibration providing reinforcement. It was almost like finding a piece of personal archaeology - an artifact - of my distant erotic past. I am also fascinated by the fact that this was a sensual rather than sexual sensation. I am not sure there's any profound meaning there, but rather a means of tracing very specific life experience.
When I find that guy who wants the erotic haircut to be part of the whole package, I will let you know! Here's to uncovering our erotic pasts!
