The difference between wrestling and touch

Post Reply New Topic

I had a friend over today and we were just talking about random stuff like who is stronger so we tried to see who could do more push ups and stuff. Then he said bet you can't beat me. He then grabbed my arms and tried to take me down. Normally I would freak out since he touched me but for some reason I didn't. I don't know if it was because it was deep presure or what but I enjoyed it. I did a spin and locked his arms upand proceeded to put my pressure on his legs and eventually took him down. Later I don't know how it came up but we were talking about disabilitys and he said he had this friend with aspergers I just acted like he said a foren word looking puzzled and said what? Then my **** of a brother says hey pokelover14 don't you have that Luckily my friend say there is no way I have it because his friend can't wrestle. I then made a motion to my brother saying if he says anymore I will well you know what brothers do. I am not sure why I can do strenuous activitys involving touch when I can't even have a pat on my back. I just don't even know.

Just to say I am the same. Unfortunately I am a 39 year old woman so wrestling with people in this way is somewhat frowned upon! I have a friend aged about 30 who shares a special interest with me and at workshops we can often be found trying to take each other down to the floor. Other people there tell us off for our bad behaviour but I find that forceful physical contact calms me down after the stress of being around all those people at the workshop. My husband also wrestles with me or lies fully on top of me like a weighted blanket. I hate light touch.

My Aspie husband used to practice judo in highschool. He loved it. Actually he is thinking about taking brazilian jujitsu classes now. But he cannot stand light touch. I imagine while wrestling the touching is everything but light.
