Rediscover Non-Sexual Touch by adeline

Given that if you are lonely enough, all touch is sexual, I attended a party and talked to a drunk guy. I traced a finger down his inner arm and commented on a tattoo. He tried to kiss me. I walked away and found a sober girl. I held her hand and talked about bands. She looked at me like I was crazy.
People are always reaching out, but they rarely make a connection. It's like standing in an elevator and everyone faces front. No one can touch shoulders, or becomes uncomfortable if they do. We are living in bubbles.
Eventually, I scratched my dear's back. I'm certain everyone needs this at least once a day. It's right up there with using a Q-tip.

I think the fear of any touch becoming a sexual touch is what keeps many people in their bubble. There is so much to be said about the comfort found in the physical connection between two people.

There's certainly a fine line between touch and sexual touch. Because touch is usually pleasurable, whether just a hand on the shoulder or a massage. and sex is about pleasure, so if the touch makes you feel good, it can be considered sexual. So technically a handshake could be sexual.
For some even pain can be sexual.
Excellent work.
