Yep, I miss 'em too. I told a friend the other day that when you’ve gone without for a while, it’s easy to forget how nice it is to be close to someone; to feel their warmth; to smile and know that they get it too; to be touched by someone; to hold hands and just feel like you are connecting again.
One more vote for it’s not the sex, it is the intimacy, the pleasantness of being held by a man, of smelling him, feeling him, wanting him.
sigh
Shit, he doesn’t need to cook for me, he just needs to look at me like ‘that’ and smile.
::dubiously:: Well, I guess I could ship you some food, Davebear, although I don’t think it would keep. I baked a couple of days ago. Brioche, anyone?
I’ve got guy friends whom I can hug, and whom I am not interested in at all. Something about that sentence seems awkward. I dunno about whether or not they’re attracted to me. I haven’t asked. I do have strict instructions to marry a particular guy friend if Mr. Lissar gets bumped off, though.
I’d feel emotionally and socially unbalanced if I had mostly female friends. Also if I had mostly male friends. ::shrug:: YMMV
I have one of those. Had a couple till one moved to another town (we still talk on the phone sometimes and he cheers me up ) the one I still have I did have a crush on at one time… but now he’s just like my big brother. If I need a hug he’ll give me one… I can cry on his shoulder. And if he wants to snuggle, because sometimes he needs that, I’m willing because I like to snuggle. It’s completely platonic between us. Hell he even teases me about my snoring. I do not snore!
But I miss guys too… nice tall guys (or at least about my height) that I can snuggle and rest my cheek on his chest and feel his breathing/heartbeat and feel safe and warm in his arms…
Damn I really need to ask one of the two guys I kinda like right now out. Maybe I can have that soon!
ohh I love that!!! Except take out the gf and insert bf… actually when that kind of thing happens I guess I wouldn’t be too picky! The raw animal heat…
WOW this thread is WAY too much for me to bare!
:::digging through desk draws for some kind of relief:::
Sigh, indeed. Stupid all-girls school hours away from boyfriend. At least if there were boys here, I could smell them and hear their voices and have a plantonic friend to hug. Two more days till I see my guy on Good Friday!
Sounds like Lsura has a case of “touch-hunger.” I read about it awhile ago. It’s not specifically sexual, and generally is found among single adults who don’t get much physical contact with others. Sounds like she’s not the only one.
The good news is, touch hunger can be satiated. The bad news is, it can’t be satiated via cyberspace.

But I must admit I miss the sex more than anything else! :o Toys get old after a while!
