Regarding my body, it should be one of the objects that I touch the most and have the most feelings. 

Touching my own body should be a private action that I don’t have to explain to others. However, even when I’m alone and the door is closed, I feel embarrassed to have to deliberately touch certain parts of my body - sorry! I need to scratch my butt, my hips or my armpits; I need to touch my growing belly without thinking about it. 

Are you eager to explore your body? How does one touch oneself, sometimes unconsciously, as if one has to explain to someone. 

Starting with these thoughts, I try to tell you in a realistic way how I can touch myself and what kind of touching will make me feel and think. 

我的身體，是其中一個我觸摸得最多，又最有感情的觸摸對象。 

觸摸自己的身體，應該是其中一樣最私密，不用跟其他人交代的觸感和動作。不過，即使深夜獨自一人，房門緊閉時，我也會為到自己觸摸自己某些身體部位，而覺得尷尬，不好意思。 

屁股、跨間或腋下需要搔癢；無意識摸摸那日漸肥大的肚腩；蠢蠢欲動想探索自己身體的十五十六。一個人要如何摸自己，有時不自覺的，好像要跟某種東西交代。 

由這想法開始，我想試驗一下我可以如何摸自己，又會有甚麼感覺和想法。
