Well I answered "Only those things my lover usually enjoys" because I'm thinking I might kiss their entire body or give them a massage...nothing much beyond that. I guess that's not overtly sexual but it is intimate...I don't think I could actually do much more beyond something innocent and pleasant like this. I have posted before on how I feel about an SO having sex with me while I'm asleep, and I still feel the same way. I would not be too pleased, depending on the circumstances. So in this case, I might do something pleasurable for them, but definitely not something that I myself would consider somewhat abusive.

Whether we write or speak or do but look
We are ever unapparent. What we are
Cannot be transfused into word or book.
Our soul from us is infinitely far.
However much we give our thoughts the will
To be our soul and gesture it abroad,
Our hearts are incommunicable still.
In what we show ourselves we are ignored.
The abyss from soul to soul cannot be bridged
By any skill of thought or trick of seeming.
Unto our very selves we are abridged
When we would utter to our thought our being.
We are our dreams of ourselves, souls by gleams,
And each to each other dreams of others' dreams.
Fernando Pessoa, 1918
