When reaching out to him leads to admonishment? When he refuses to talk about it? When he refuses counseling? When my nights are spent alone in bed as he would rather fall asleep on the couch instead of in my arms? I&#39;m at a loss and miss intimacy so much that it pains me to write this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-74169381603967859782009-07-09T12:24:18.848-05:002009-07-09T12:24:18.848-05:00Anonymous, can you learn to live without it?

I feel starved for affection seeing as the only time I get it is during intercourse. For 15 years I have tried to express how I need more physical contact with him and he says he doesn't like to touch or be touched. Do I just learn to live without it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-11415025259409424402008-10-10T19:54:00.000-05:002008-10-10T19:54:00.000-05:00Beautifully written!Graciehttps://aparalleluniverse.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-18854788124261900382008-02-20T07:52:00.000-05:002008-02-20T07:52:00.000-05:00My friend says that he loves touching. He loves skin-to-skin contact. He is touching mostly girls. And according to him, it is only friendly touch. From what I noticed, sometimes it is extremely loaded with the flirt. Where is the line? And if he touches the feet (gives massage to, when other people are around) of some friend-woman but he wouldn't touch her the same way if his wife was present there, is it only friendly touch?? He admits that he loves fliting too. It is boosting his male ego.<BR/><BR/>People say. People do. And it seems that it can be contradiction between these two.<BR/><BR/>And one more thing.<BR/><BR/>That friend of mine admitted that he can touch all other women (for example, in party) but he is avoiding to touch his own wife. Especially when other people are around. When he is touched by her, he is conscious of that touch. <BR/><BR/>One of his 'relational' complains is the lack of intimacy between his wife and him. Emotional as much as physical.<BR/><BR/>Any thoughts?

I hope you find this response.<BR/><BR/>One of the most beautiful of phenomenon is that when we touch others we are also touched.<BR/><BR/>For those who feel they need the touch of another, I invite them to reach out... volunteer at a senior center, or at a hospital where the need for touch is everywhere.<BR/><BR/>Be the healer, and in turn you become healed.<BR/><BR/>I wish you peace....<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you my friend,<BR/><BR/>Jentruthdancerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17596642009522424854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-40850310350007707062007-11-11T18:12:00.000-05:002007-11-11T18:12:00.000-05:00I think I fully agree. I'm 25 and have been feeling lonely, anxious, and "emotionally starved" since my adolescence. I believe it has something to do with extreme anxiety and/or self-esteem issues, as I've never really dated or so much as been kissed before. <BR/><BR/>"Skin starvation" certainly feels real, I can tell you that. It feels most obvious after, for example, upon receiving a rare, loving or playful hug from friends.Lnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-64475492041043784432007-03-12T17:51:00.000-05:002007-03-12T17:51:00.000-05:00Hi Mouse... :-)<BR/><BR/>Nice to have you here!<BR/><BR/>JenJenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593797320592103928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-4005873009090165572007-03-12T17:50:00.000-05:002007-03-12T17:50:00.000-05:00Hi Bill... thanks for being here and sharing your thoughts! <BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/><BR/>JenJenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04593797320592103928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240135571858542479.post-46885331309607224442007-03-11T18:28:00.000-05:002007-03-11T18:28:00.000-05:00You not only touch me, you move me!
