What are some of the non-sexual pleasures men enjoy? For example, I like saunas and soaking baths with salts and scented candles.

I am a man and am interested to know what other men like so that I can try those things. Of course we can also like what women like. I specified non sexual and for men because whenever I searched it the returned results were always of sexual nature.

I'm sorry for assuming you were a woman. I think you'd get much better answer if searched for something sans gender if you haven't tried it already such as "ways to relax" or "simple pleasures" or "easy ways to wind down".

Asking here is obviously a viable option, but if you choose to look around more using a search engine without getting dirty results, that might be worth a shot.

For the record, I really like ASMR. There's a ton of stuff that's kinda just softcore porn which is always a bummer to discover for me because I liked having a purely physical, nonsexual sensation to enjoy, so I prefer keeping them separate. Plus, most of that stuff seems to be people missing the mark on what ASMR is. Like, bandwagon folks.
