I think lots of couples do this though? Not sure why, As you say, it’s letting your guard down, to do with closeness and not having to be grown-up all the time. It’s fun to be cute!

It figures that I can’t find the reference now that I could use it, but I remember reading/seeing more than one study about this exact phenomenon. In all the cases I can remember (about or three if memory serves), the researchers’ conclusions were that this kind of behavior engendered feelings of protectiveness and nurturing on the part of the partners, thus facilitating emotional bonding. According to these studies, youngness is also perceived as sexually attractive.

I guess this is all logical. Really though, I think it’s just fun.

Maria, Rona, Maja, I miss you all terribly.

Wendy, that is a potentially brilliant idea, except I’ve never drawn a chibi. I’ll see what I can do.

Maja, um, I vote no on the skin removal?

Finally, chibi emo resolution. And now the Tao is once again balanced.

::Tom can’t believe that he actually found this cute, let alone understood the entire exchange::
