| I read something interesting recently and it has been going through my head a lot. Basically, it said that we do not have the ability to feel wetness. At least not like we have a sense of hot and cold, or pressure or pain. What we perceive as wetness is a learned calculation of combined sensations we know that feel wet. I have really thought about it and have been dissecting the idea. Wet feels cool or warm, basically different than the air around you. If you ever climb into a bath that is the same temperature as the air around you it can confuse the sensation a bit. Wetness moves the hair on your skin in a certain way that feels wet. Wet clings like few things can and you feel that cling to your skin. Since the wet sensation is dependent on a guesstimation of what actual sensations add up to, I could definitely see it as a "sense" that could be easy to fool. I don't know how this will affect my writing but it certainly opened my eyes to the idea of really examining what my senses are telling me. |
