Hmmm... I'll have to look into this to see if there is any data on the subject.

I was referring to hugging, being held, kissing, and general tenderness, not necessarily all out sexual touching (hence the *at all* qualifier).

When I'm achy and crampy or just feeling ill, I love being held and snuggling.

However, I do recognize that I am more open and touchy feely than a lot of people in the world. So, perhaps I am in the minority.

Lucky
