I'm curious - Do you folks like weight on your body (people, animals, weighted blankets on top of you)

I mean weighted vests do exist in real life but are usually aimed a kids, like so many autism things tend to. Actually just looked it up weighted vests seem to be sold for “training” as well.

Yep, the training is called rocking. I had a friend who used one while hiking, its cool cuz it has a bunch of small metal plates that you can put on and take off to adjust the weight so you can work your way up

Depends on my level of stress. For high stress levels I like weighted blankets, for moderate stress levels I imagine a dog could be great (I’m not allowed to keep one in my flat), for low stress level a standard double blanket is nice.

People/pets yes, blankets no. For people- it’s not exactly a kink but I really “enjoy” someone putting their full weight on me.

Must be pretty impossible to request that to pretty much anybody but to a partner.

It’s easy, just pat your lap whenever somebody passes you on public transport.

I know what you mean. As a child my dad would ask me to lay down on his back because it felt good, sometimes we’d end up falling asleep like that. Fast forward a decade or two and when this memory came through asked some SO’s to lay on my back and it was great.
