Physical Contact.

Why is it that we sometimes have longing to just feel someone next to us, just to feel a physical presence, for someone to just be there? What is it with humans and other animals alike that makes physical contact such a large part of our lives and our needs?...This really came to my attention 2 nights ago when my friend's kitten who was abandoned by his mother wouldn't stop crying until I picked him up, let him curl up to my neck, and petted him...then he finally slept, but nothing else worked...toys, no noise, noise, milk etc..
This happens with me too all the time...I feel I am becoming seriously fucked up without getting hugs and kisses for a long time.

Is it just me or is physical contact an actual need for you too?

i cry until i put it in someone's poop chute. The cry/pop is a science and most def a need.

Because we're social animals?

We're pretty frail and helpless on our own - makes sense that we have a drive to seek eachother out.

I find that physical contact is very stimulating in many ways. I enjoy it a lot.

For some reason this thread made me think of Wilson. He's good company.

It depends. I find that I hate physical contact more than I like it. I mean, with the right person it's nice but seriously... what is up with guys hugging me. NEWSFLASH: Not all women think that hugging is the only appropriate way to say "hello."

It is a societal change that has happened with our generation Ang. It was something weird for me when it first started too. I have come to just go with it. It isn't THAT big of a deal imho. You afraid you're going to end up like tbills with mono or something?

My mother is the same way...and I think my strong need for affection now stems from lacking it from my parents while growing up. My father was always working so he wasn't around much..and my mother - no matter how much she loved me - hated physical contact from anyone..and was constantly 'rejecting' me whenever I tried to hug her. Boooo
I'm a very affectionate person..and when I don't get a good dose of hugs and kisses, I become sad.

Hahaha!

Humans need to be touched. It's normal

Haha @ the mono thing.

But ..what are you talking about?
I dunno maybe it's just different in the US, but I'm Arabic, so we give eachother kisses on the cheeks and hugs when greeting each other. So it's normal for us.

You guys are just so cold.

Blame our ancestors.
BTW speaking of cats I wish mine would stop being such a computer junkie and go play by himself. There's only so much cat I can stand at one time. Guess that goes for humans too but they usually understand when you curl up into a corner.

Thanks for sharing that article Theresa. I love studies, I love reading them and learning tidbits of information.

I get very uncomfortable when someone hugs me. Unless it's my dog.

Physical contact? I guess I'm weird when it comes to physical contact. Very weird. Is there anyone else out there who's similar to me when it comes to being touched? I'll post a few key points

This is me most of the time: =|

- I don't like being hugged or touched by my mother, sister or any other family members. Nobody. I always push them away. Always. Not even my little baby cousin, even though he's like 3 or 4 (don't know) and always calls my name when I pass him.

- When female acquaintances try to hug me, I never open my arms, I just stay still until they stop. Expression is still: =|

- Even girls I like don't elicit much reaction when they hug me. Weird thing is, when they're really emotional (happy or sad) that makes me not like it. It has to be nonchalant for me to even tolerate it. Sometimes I wonder if it's not the girl I like, but just her looks.

- My guy friends usually nod when I pass by, but I hate shaking hands or doing that fist thing or patting shoulders. I just don't like it and I would rather just say hi or bye.

- I don't like hugging up during sex, just penetration (doggy style) is all I want. My expression is still: =| (Yes, I have actually had sex, which is quite surprising.)

- After sex, I HATE being touched. I hate cuddling, kissing, or anything after I orgasm. I am absolutely serious when I say that I just want to leave and never see her again until I want sex.

- When people touch my hands during training, there's always a strange sexual connotation to it in my mind.

- I am extremely stoic when it comes to fighting. People have punched me dead in the face with not a single flinch from me. I don't even have that stone-faced angry look, I'm just like a statue. I don't feel much unless you hit the right spots (like my trainer did when showing me how to knee people. ouch.)

My mother told me repeatedly that I never liked to be breastfed or held as a child, that I always turned away. She told me she just gave up and fed me from the bottle or left me in my crib.

When I was young, I didn't playfight much. Didn't hug much either. Nobody really got physical with me except for real fighting, and sex (when I got older).

Paging Dr. Freud. Did you have a creepy uncle who liked to touch you when you were a child?


I like to be touched a lot. Does anyone want to have a cuddle party?

Yeesh.

i dont like people touching me unless i know its coming, then i'm all for it.

like if someone comes up behind me and puts their hand on my shoulder i feel awkward. i try to consciously loosen up once i know who it is but i always feel that i'm positioned in a weird way

Nope. All of those things couldn't be explained away by being gay. I don't like touch period.

so ya ... bring on the cuddle party


Posted by UmmiE on May-20-2008 03:30:

I find that physical contact a.K.a (hug) while meeting or greeting friends is my way telling them that Im happy to see them or that I appreciate them.....There is nothing more to it in my eyes nor do I do it for long enough to make the other person feel that they are harassed...My physical contact with most people is usually like a hug that last 2 or 3 seconds max..........Not like those long ones where the person mostly the girl thinking that you feeling her boobies.

Those who ask for it they arent included because thats some next level physical contact.
