Me, I looooooooove getting my back scratched. Love it love it love it.
Even with a good back-scratcher, doing it myself just isn’t the same – there’s something about “up a little – a tad to the right – yeah, there…” (commence hind leg thumping).
When I saw the thread title, I came in here to say exactly that! The way to my heart is definitely through my back, and when there’s no one available to scratch or rub my back, I’m all out of sorts.
I also miss having someone else to kill the spiders.
Since when isn’t backscratching sexual?
Just a good old fashioned hug.
Non-sexual…non-sexual…
Hang on, I’m thinking.
NON-sexual? Implying without sex? Ok, lemme see…
:rolleyes: 
Nope, 'fraid not.
Heh.
You’re right though – because it’s definitely not something I’d ask a platonic male friend to do, whereas I have no problems asking a platonic male friend to kill a spider or open a jar.
Maybe your method of back scratching differs from mine, but touchin’ a lady’s back and squashin’ a spider ain’t the same ballpark, ain’t the same league, ain’t even the same fuckin’ sport.
I miss giving back scratches. I used to do that every night to my ex 'till he fell asleep.
He always offered to scratch mine, but I it is not my thing.
Making breakfast. Nothing starts a Saturday off right like a bleary, post-coital meal of pancakes and coffee. It really isn’t the same when you’re by yourself.
Hard to answer as I consider all our …relations to be sexual, including arguing over the phone bill. But in keeping with the sirit of the thread, how about falling asleep next to him. Even when he snores.
Cuddling in bed while watching a movie.
Ordering food in and eating dinner in pajamas.
Dinner conversation, and just sharing your day.
The fact that with one quick look, your SO knows exactly what you’re thinking.
Being able to turn to someone after seeing something gread and share it.
Having ice in my drinks. Let me explain - the most terrible sound for me (worse than fingernails on chalkboards) is the sound of crunching ice, but I enjoy ice in soft drinks and lemonade and such. My SOs have always been very tolerant of that foible and have been nice enough when they are around to take ice out of ice trays or crunch it up for drinks.
All the stuff you rarely or never do with friends, like spontaneously going out for dinner, watching a movie, or going on a cruise. I’m still good friends with the ex and just yesterday we had the kind of day we had all the time when we were together - eating out for lunch, shopping, having a few beers, eating out for dinner - and that was nice, but it happens too rarely now that I’m single. And it’s not quite the same either.
I’ve pretty much decided to stay out of relationships, and the sex isn’t what I’m going to miss, it’s these little events. Renting a movie and watching it with some snacks. Getting hungry while out walking and popping into a restaurant for a bite. Going for short trips on a whim. Those things that never happen with friends.
Would you give a guy a back-scratch?
Being completely silly together.
Doing house-type things, like hanging pictures even. Building furniture.
Watching a movie together and laughing at all the same lines.
If a guy doesn’t know the difference between a back-scratch and squishing a spider, I’m not letting him scratch my back.
"Hang on, dude.’
WHAM!
hee hee
Can I put what I miss about NOT being in a relationship since I’ve been married for a long time?
I miss the flirting that goes on between two people that don’t know eachother real well yet. Sure my wife and I flirt but it’s different.
Ah well, sorry.
