Absolutely -- the anticipation is the best part. Raw sex is nice but so is romantic sex, gentle sex, athletic sex. So is a kiss on the back of the neck, so is the random fondle when you can't do anything about it.
The LD charge that "every time I touch you it leads to sex" is only true to a point. If the HD person isn't touch or sex starved they can handle a "raincheck later honey, I just wanted to touch you" but a sex-starved person will be less able to handle the "not right now." Make sense?
