WE DON'T TOUCH ENOUGH IN THE US.<BR/><BR/>Scientists watched Brazilians, Europeans and Americans in a bistro. The Brazilians touched their friends 100 times in an our, the Europeans 80, and the Americans something like 5. 5! We don't touch enough.<BR/><BR/>Eric, I'll give you a hug anytime I'm geographically close to you, man.Kengo Biddleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12083962910965544925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006457410024132395.post-70797995822859860482007-02-20T13:10:00.000-08:002007-02-20T13:10:00.000-08:00Wonderful post.

I think it's also cool that you are gaining this awareness of your thoughts and feelings. On my mission I began to perceive my feelings and needs more objectively, and now from dealing with my SSA I have been able to learn much more. I'm glad you realize that repression of our innate feelings is not helpful, because that leaves things unresolved. As we recognize our desires then we can learn to sit with them and then fulfill them in better ways. You're awesome, Thrasius!l'écureuilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04609034487632505827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006457410024132395.post-10219481669685566602007-02-20T08:26:00.000-08:002007-02-20T08:26:00.000-08:00Nothing to me says, "I really, truly care about yo...Nothing to me says, "I really, truly care about you" than a hug. No words or any other action can do for me what personal touch and a warm embrace can. Thanks for this post. It made me feel warm inside, now I need a hug!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4006457410024132395.post-48579602235478996482007-02-17T16:57:00.000-08:002007-02-17T16:57:00.000-08:00I don't necessarily mean romantic hugs.

I just like that feeling of knowing that someone is standing there with you, embracing you, and showing you in the nearly the most intimate way possible that they care about you. Isn't that what most of us want?</I><BR/><BR/>I'll be honest, there was a time when I didn't want to be touched by anyone. Then, only by my husband or children. Certain people in the Queerosphere have shown me that there is a level of communication found only in touch (hugging), and I'm learning, slowly but surely, that it's a vital part of friendships and other relationships. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for your post.Samanthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02216416424593449924noreply@blogger.com
