Reminds me of my guy and me. Both touchy feely people, both of us had been shrugged off before. We both kept expecting the other to stop liking to be touched, at first. Thank goodness, that will never actually happen! We get and give as much physical affection as we want, now.

I LOVE touching and being touched:) It’s so intimate and sends such a message of warmth. Not just in sexual situations either. Touching family and friends kinda adds an added sense of warmth and sincerity.
Back to sexually:) Touching is so powerful. I love being touched, but part of me is afraid to let a man touch me because I fear he’ll be replused by my fat body. It’s an arena where I’d be so exposed and vulnerable, I’d rather not be touched than face a devestating rejection.
Hmm…that’s only partially true:) I think I’d risk it…depending on the man and the vibes I get.

If I *had* to make the choice between sex and the intimacy of touching - Even the casual, seemingly insignificant touching, I would choose the warm, loving feeling of S’ touch over anything else. Luckily, I have the best of both worlds. :-)

Praise be. A gloriously male blog site. Beautifully written and oozing testosterone,,thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Touch is very telling in a relationship isn’t it? With some you don’t,,with “the one” you just have to.

i used to be afraid to touch or even hug a friend, i had a real problem with it. I think i’ve always associated touching with sex etc, so it felt uncomfortable hugging a friend. Now why I’d associate it with sex before i’d been anywhere near a man is a mystery to me. Anyway now I hug friends..but since i started to allow myself near men, I can’t get enough of the touching. If he’s not a very touchy affectionate type person, the experience is sooo lacking. However there are times when you just want the raw sex thing rather than the lovey stuff.

Mmmmmmmmm If you keep making posts like this and make me miss you even more than I already do, these two weeks are going to really crawl along!
When I finally do get back (and I’m counting the days), “handsy” won’t begin to describe how I’m going to be when I see you! :)

i believe that i love touching(I know i love a good back scratch)but because i’ve been single/alone for so long, i believe i had subconciously shut down that facet of me, perhaps as a defense/’no body ain’t there, get on with life’ mechanism. I guess that i’m slowly ‘turning it back on’ thru hugging friends.

I really enjoyed the post. I have waves where I slide up and down the handsy issue. I am very clingy and love my wife to be clingy, and there are times when my mind is somewhere else and in that place.. I just cant touch or be touched.

I never thought of it as hands-y but thaht certainly describes me. My wife knows someone who has more than one commented on how can she stand it–but she loves it. As far as I’m concerned, a hand is better on her than doing nothing.
