While I underatand this, i don't buy into it.

Look, I go years sometimes with no physical touch from others. Not even platonic, but I don't make that everyone else's problem. The problem is men see *all* touch as sexual, and that makes them predatory and lonely from masculine friendships.

I respectfully disagree. I do worry than touching will be misinterpreted by the recipient. That is why i sometimes avoid contacts.

@samueltyler2 Which is exactly the problem. Men worrying that other men will think they are beinghit on when all that is being shared is friendly contact

@FoxyGoddess what i was alluding to is not man on man embrace, if i feel a woman could use a hug, I ask if it is okay. I won't even compliment a woman on her clothing.
