I assure you, you're not the only one. I've never felt particularly close to my family. I know love them, but I don't really feel an actual emotional closeness to them. And It doesn't really have anything to do with them as people, because they're all lovely in their own ways. Of course, I don't alw...

I know my fear isn't reasonable, and that it was partially influenced by others. But it's not just men, I'm not really comfortable with any sort of sexual contact. It's just worse with men for some reason. I'm well aware that men are not beasts, but I still have a problem if they make sexual/physic...

For me, unexpected touch isn't much of an issue these days (thanks to years working with grabby children!). It's the intent behind it that matters. There's a difference between a friendly touch and a sexual touch - and I'm not talking about location, but the feeling that it conveys. Yeah, for me th...

How do you feel about women touching you? I'm asking because if it's women too you have major problems with being touched in general by people but if it's just men then the problem is that there is something about men you don't trust or feel comfortable with. If it is just with men & you mentio...

I have to take issue with the person who said the issue is you; unless you live in a paradise of a society, men are frickin dangerous (physically and psychologically) and are not to be trusted lightly. If you're set on a relationship with one, give him clear and firm info early in the dating proces...

Just gonna respond to a whole bunch of things in one post: Oh yeah, Hi ya and Welcome! Thank you. Hi to you too!! Scared of men, or scared of having a really great relationship that all too soon goes to sh*t and it feels like it's all your fault? I think it's probably a little of both. I don't want ...

I haven't been touched in any intimate manner by a guy I was attracted to. Other than what happened at the party I've always done my best to avoid physical contact (other than with those I'm close to) I have such a difficult time talking to guys that I've never really been close to one. I can 'chat'...

Okay, so as a rule I don't like being touched when I'm not expecting it/don't know the person. But I have no problem being tactile with my close friends. The problem comes in with men. I can't stand them touching me. It terrifies me. My friends convinced me to go to a Halloween party at our universi...
