A year later, I still prefer gentle stuff. Our sex life has slowed down quite substantially, but we still like cuddling most nights, and the cuddling is usually gentle unless emotions and energy and whatnot dictate we want tighter hugs.
I like how light Cherry is with her touch. It almost tickles as she rubs my back, neck, or wherever she resides to touch me. And when emotions are riled up her arms lock up around me, remaining gentle, yet firm. I'd barley feel her arms across my back unless I moved a bit, at which point her arms become unmoving walls that will bounce me right back to her.
