"Either. Both. You choose.
When we shift, our senses...twist, for lack of a word...to fit the new form. So, like, as I'm standing here right now, I'd hate it if you shoved your sweaty armpit in my face. If I were, however, to shift into a sweat rag or a stick of deodorant or something, the sensations would be different -- it's an 'intended' sensation, and it feels good, being used 'properly'. I can't deny it! It's a good day out.
It's also humiliating and embarrassing and more than a little gross for most people. It's demeaning and part of the reason why I wanted to be considered distinct from him, because yeah. No.
And being everyone's welcome mat is him feeling sorry for himself. Oh, boo hoo, I'm no good for anyone as a person, all my friends and family are a bajillion miles away; the only thing I'm good for is scraping the mud off of someone's shoes. Give me a break."
