| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/25/2006 1:29:21 PM | The most important part of a relationship is not the actual act of having sex together, but the touching that goes on throughout the time you spend together. Holding hands, rubbing your back, stroking your hair, placing a hand on your knee, a kiss on the cheek, cuddling, playing footsies, a gentle smack on the butt, you name it. Any kind of loving gesture to connect with your partner will enhance the lovemaking in the bedroom.
Do both men and women belive this to be true? How important is this connection throughout the day?
I know that for me the touching is so important, it shows me that my partner cares for me all the time not just when we are naked together. Sometimes we can't keep our hands to ourselves - by the time we get in the bedroom we are on fire. The touching continues after as well, making the experience 'whole'. | |

| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/26/2006 8:59:27 PM | THIS IS SO IMPORTANT!!! If I had a woman and she didn't have that type of affection, I'd have to let her go. I would need someone that's just as touchy feely as I am without a doubt. | |

| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/26/2006 9:04:37 PM | | i agree leeanne, but i think the sex is part of it, and a pretty big part at that | |

| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/26/2006 9:08:39 PM | | yeah touching = great. | |

| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/26/2006 9:13:36 PM |
I feel the same way.  | |

| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/26/2006 9:14:58 PM | I was wondering about good touching and bad touching, I was at Mcdonalds and this lady I was with reached over and stole a fry. Then she dropped it on my lap and as she was picking it up she brushed my 'big mac' so to speak. It felt really nice but at the same time I felt really dirty being in a public place and all is this what you mean? | |

| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/26/2006 9:35:42 PM | Ah, the power of touch. Perfect example.  | |
|
| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/26/2006 10:55:09 PM | | Oh, there is nothing better than the touch of someone you love!!! Words can barely express (for me)...the intimacy of touching!! So yummy!!!! | |
|
| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/26/2006 11:02:47 PM | | I'd also say that its a crucial piece to any relationship and that it also enhances what can come to be or what already is (sex). Just jumping in there and doing it is boring to me but with these type of things included to make the mind imagine and stimulate, it makes it 50x better, of course in my humble opinion. Scents are always a plus too. | |

| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/26/2006 11:07:03 PM | | I love touching, cuddling, holding hands, stroking hair, etc, and always make this a part of my relationships, not just in the bed room. I think it's VERY important, and I like doing it...not just cause it makes the woman feel loved...it feels good to me too to conect in those ways. It's great! Some girls don't like an affectionate guy it seems though. How do you differentiate from being affectionate, and being "clingy" though? I don't want to be with a girl who considers this clingy behavior. Consistent(but not constant) mutual affection is very important in maintaining a good relationship IMO. | |

Clingy to me is when you feel like you can't breathe whenever that person is near you. Its not so much how they often they touch you but the neediness of being AROUND you constantly. Its okay to enjoy some one's company just not to the point that they don't get any alone time. | |

| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/26/2006 11:24:18 PM | Touch is the best sense! I would never want to lose that one! I would agree with everyone on here....the cuddling, rubbing backs, a pinch on the ass even! That is the best | |
|
| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/26/2006 11:34:43 PM | | Honestly, even if I'm only mildly interested in somebody, I make sure to touch them at LEAST twice (innocently) the first DAY I know them. It's like that "kiss them by the end of the second date" rule. If you establish physical uncomfortableness - there's really no fighting it. And touching is the best part of close interaction. | |
|
| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/27/2006 5:33:49 AM | I'm a touchy feely kind of person even with family and friends. I do it so automatically, that at times I'll find my hand on the arm of a stranger that I'm talking to. Oops!  So I can't imagine being in any type of relationship were I can't touch him or he doesn't touch me except for when were having sex. Forget it, it would never work for me. | |

| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/27/2006 5:40:09 AM | Kdblueeyes,
I'd say that brushing the "Big Mac" was a tad inappropriate for a total stranger. If you knew each other then............................ | |
|
| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/27/2006 6:00:25 AM | I think of holding hands, cuddling, hugging, sitting up against one another as being far more important than sex. I can always wank by myself but i can't hold hands or hug or cuddle by myself.
I am very touchy feely - too much for the average girl it seems (sigh). | |
|
| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/27/2006 7:57:35 AM | | I am very tactile and so I enjoy touching people I am close to. I like it when I can touch or stroke someone and they will close their eyes and lean into it. Very sensual and a definite turn on. | |

I kinda knew her but then after the fry on the lap incident. She asked me if I wanted some hot cherry pie for desert and stroked her 'fillet of fish' so to speak. Needless to say I squeezed my vanilla shake and it went everywhere. It was quite the scene. Then of course everyone was touching everyone to clean each other off and I had to leave. I felt dirty but good at the same time. | |
|
| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/27/2006 9:07:26 AM | Yes a touch as one is walking by the other is great stoping to kiss her neck as you stand behind her. It all works through the day to draw one closer and make the time in the bedroom that much better. | |

| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/27/2006 9:38:37 AM | Ya...your not kidding....my ex loved to stroke my wallet, fondle my cards, and pinch my cash | |

| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/27/2006 9:44:07 AM | | Touching is a must and not only when having sex. I mean nothing like using your sigificant other's sleeve as your own personal tissue. | |
|
| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/27/2006 10:14:10 AM | | Touching is very important for a relationship especially when some people have a hard time verbalizing their feelings. I love being touched and kissed, holding hands, its nice to feel wanted. | |
|
| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/27/2006 11:04:45 AM | Fully agree OP and well put  | |
|
| TOUCHING! Posted: 3/27/2006 2:34:31 PM | After all the largest sex organ we all have is the skin we are all in. (so go ahead and touch all you want with permission that is.) | |
