Today at lunch time I went for a run. I've been trying to supplement by cycling with running, since it's harder to get motivated to ride in the winter time. A 20 mph wind chill factor just doesn't make for a very enjoyable ride when the temperature is already below 50°F. Even the sun doesn't help.
After I finished my run through the sod farm and strawberry fields, near where I work, I noticed my quads were starting to itch. I didn't think much of it at first, but as it started getting worse, I looked down, and I noticed my quads were covered in what I guessed were hives.
There are a number of things which can cause hives, two of which I have, i.e. allergy to pollen and leukemia (technically lymphoma, but no doubt related), plus it was a bright sunny day, and I do tend to sweat a lot, two other factors which can contribute to hives.
Anywaze, to get to the subject of my post, as the itching increased, I had no choice but to scratch the affected area, and I can tell you, without a doubt, there is no greater feeling than the feeling derived from scratching an itch. It's like you don't ever want that feeling to end.
During the time I have been writing this post, the hives have started to disappear, and the itching has dissipated substantially, but for that briefest period of time, I almost didn't mind the attack nor did I want it to go away.
Think about it, the next time you get an itch, just how enjoyable it is to scratch.

But seriously, it does sound safer than sex.
