Do you enjoy constant physical contact with your SO?

Post Reply New Topic

I've never had an SO, but I do like to be touched sometimes.

I have the hypersensitive skin, and sometimes touch is aggravating, but I love to be near and to touch/be touched by a woman, especially if I'm already attracted

Yep. Sitting in the same room even if I'm not talking or interacting with them is the name of the game for me. My ex and I used to sit in the living room on separate couches and send messages to each other via AIM whenever we had something to say.

I'm the same way as your husband. Not only do I love the sensation of snuggling, but if she's not up for it, I really start to wonder if I've been "friendzoned" by my wife. It's hard to wrap my head around someone who loves me as more than a friend but doesn't absolutely love touching and snuggling me.

damn... i wish I could even just dream of being in that position...

Interestingly, I can relate to this, too. I generally like hugging and cuddling in "bite-sized chunks", and have trouble "resonating" with people who like to lie in bed or sit on a couch with someone for a long time at a stretch.

It's like when I'm not touching I want to be touching, but when I'm touching I no longer want to be. It's not that the touching per se is uncomfortable, rather the need to be slow and still. I'm hyper a lot of the time, and so generally touch plays the role of a "quick recharge", after which I need to run around for a little.

Touch is take-it-or-leave-it for me. I would enjoy contact, and I've a mild preference for it but I do not have casual proximity as a significant portion of a relationship for me, so if there were any reason for a partner to desist, I'd not mind.

I enjoy certain types of physical contact. I enjoy cuddling, holding hands, being rubbed but I hate hugging. I'm not sure what it is about hugging but I find it extremely uncomfortable unless it's my children. I don't mind a brief hug with my boyfriend or my brother. I suspect they're both on the spectrum and are very like myself. I'm not sure if that's what makes it easier for me to hug or be hugged by them. I find hugging my mother, father and sister very awkward and I try to avoid it.

I love physical contact with him, especially being held. I feel so much more in control of myself and protected and such .

I sleep best when being held too.

I'm addicted to my SO, I can't stop kissing his face and stuff. So yes I do like physical contact very much!

the fact that at this point your signature says "NOM NOM NOM NOM" doesn't help that comment one bit...

I dunno. I like physical contact from the bf. I haven't really found an instance where I didn't like it yet. >.>

you crack me up Mr Broccoli

Awwww.....

Bahahaha! On the contrary I find it helps create (a rather disturbing) mental picture.

It's amuses me further because my boyfriend and I nibble each other on the face and say "I'm going to eat your face! NOM NOM NOM"

Ahem...we're very mature like that...

now if only a girl would eat my face...

I LOVE physical contact, if I could, I would like to be holding an SO all day and night. What I tend to miss the most about being in a relationship is the touching. Not even sex as much, just the little things. Holding hands, suddenly going up to them for a hug, being playful, kissing, massages, etc.
I really like touching, and sometimes I find it hard if someone isn't so into that. Makes you feel very awkward with them even if everything else is fantastic.

At the same time, though, I can be extremely shy with new girls. I never know if they'd be into holding their hand on a date, or if they want to kiss, etc. Makes it very tough to show I'm interested without coming off pushy. So I come off too shy or not interested in them. Sometimes when first talking to people I'll try and ask if they like to cuddle and such, many like having their space, and I'm not sure I can deal with that.

Sometimes I want the physical side of things (again, not just sex) more than being with that person specifically. I think my basis for really likeing someone and showing emotions is in the physical side of things. Like I may not say 'I love you' and such very much, but I always want to be close and hold them.
