Tenderness-Match

What this archetype looks like

For you, heat is not enough without softness. You need the hand-hold, the slow start, the eye contact and the feeling that your partner is really there. The good part is that this creates a deep kind of closeness. The hard part is being with someone whose natural speed is fast. They may not mean harm, but you still need to ask clearly for slowness and care. If you do not, you may fade quietly before they understand what happened.
