Lately he is incessantly licking my arms and hands. I can take it for a
while, but after a few minutes that little sandpaper tongue can get very
irritating on my thin skin. I keep trying to move so that he'll lick
another part of my arm, but he says *he* must decide which part of me
needs to be cleaned. I just wish all my problems were as nice as this
one.

I'm getting very tired lately keeping on just keeping on, so he may be
sensing that I just need him and, as always, he's there for me more than
anyone other sentient being has or will ever be.

Are you putting on some kind of cream or bathing with a soap that maybe
attracts him?
If you have thin skin and it irritates do not allow him to do it.
Whether he senses you need him I don't know, but you seriously don't need
a cat tongue rasping at thin skin whatever his motives.

My strategy in this situation is to vigorously start "cleaning" him -
petting him with enthusiasm and he'll forget about his need to clean me.
And no, I haven't changed anything smell wise - I think it's *his* strategy
to get me to pet him.
