Vae -- new sense organ

[sythyry]

And, if you were giving your entire species a new sense organ, what would you want it to be?

The sense organ I would give mine, I shall call the thlume.  The gleaming faceted short horn it would be in shape, curling under the chin like a goatee.  The correct perception of the emotions of people nearby would it provide, and --- this is the elemental fantasy --- it would allow us to be aware of them.  The unhappiness caused by some gift we make we could see and understand, and, if we wished, we could avoid making it worse.

And you?

Ganglia that drape down from various areas of the brain, emerging out of the skin on the back of the neck and draping down as tentacle-like structures. They are often hidden by hair. When several or each are stroked or pulled in different ways - the manner in which this is done being best auto-demonstrated - different chemicals/endorphins are released into the brain and body.

(Having them touched or kissed is also very pleasurable apart from this.)

People with brain disorders can often find relief through special jewelry designed for them, or through rubbing the organ at various intervals.

The very sweet and pleasant that change sounds!

Oooh. I was thinking a new organ just for extra enjoyment would be nice, too. :)
