VR, phantom touch... 

... is a thing I'm pretty envious of! I actually pretty much don't experience it at all, I never "feel" touch like so many of y'all do...

But this isn't to say stop petting or giving me affection in VR, because I do sort of experience tertiary pleasure from it? Like, even though I can't feel the touch, I feel comfort and relaxation and overall feel-good warmth from it, and that's enough for me

@sharkNserg phantom feelings are something that can be learned? though i'm not sure how exactly

we used to get them a lot more strongly than we do now which i think is a consequence of our mental health being worse now due to all the stress
