Famethyst Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I mentioned this in another poll, but I love being hugged and cuddled and stroked/petted, and most of my romantic desires are centered around this. I prefer clothes on, though. Link to post Share on other sites
deltaX Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I love hugs from family and friends, and even the occasional platonic cuddles. I do feel kind of lonely if I go without hugs for a long time, and crave some sort of human touch. Link to post Share on other sites
Ytterbium Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I hate being touched unless it's completely necessary. I wonder how much I would be willing to compromise if I ever find a partner who would be the opposite. Link to post Share on other sites
cinary Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I'm touch-starved and I love physical contact but only with people I feel comfortable with and there's not a lot of them. Link to post Share on other sites
girlwiththelongskirt Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Define physical contact. I enjoy cuddling (it does make me feel weird/doesn't feel right, but at the same time makes me feel kinda loved I guess), sometimes holding hands when I'm very anxious, but I don't crave it.

Cnyb Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I occasionally do feel that touch would be nice. I like cuddling with my cat, and I sometimes warmly appreciate hugs from family or people I know better. I think with people I don't know so well I'm a little concerned it might be taken for flirting or something, so that makes me hesitant/wary/avoidant of touch with a lot of people.

dotisv Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Is there a version of demisexual for touching? I normally need some sort of connection to not be touch adverse. Link to post Share on other sites
GLRDT Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 On 6/14/2017 at 9:22 PM, all.that.jazz said: I read a poll about aces who are touch-averse, and I'm curious about the other way around! Are there other aces who experience touch hunger, or a desire to have (non-intimate) physical contact with people? For me, it doesn't matter who you are, if I know you or not, I will hug you (only if you are alright with it of course). And I'm a complete cuddlebug. Thoughts? Edit: I worded this as "skin hunger" when that's not at all what I meant. Yes. Me me me me! Link to post Share on other sites
LunarianLight Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I enjoy gentle platonic touching from family members. Anything more than that and I start to get the heebie jeebies due to sensory issues. I could pet and cuddle my cat for HOURS, though. Link to post Share on other sites
AquaBreezy Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 I mainly only like hugging family and close friends. I always hated being touched or held, and it took forever to figure out that I'm cool with it as long as I initiate it ( ask someone to draw on my back, play with my hair, lay my head on a shoulder). But I'll only initiate physical contact with those who already set the precedent, so its kind of a loop. I'll go days without even touching someone and feel fine. Link to post Share on other sites
