Interesting thread. I look forward to the responses and seeing how things take shape.
I would say that I am not a "touchy" person, even with my partner.
When I first entered into the LGBT community, I learned rather quickly that hugs are a must! I adapted to this, and hug whoever with no discomfort.
In my relationships, I learned to be more affectionate due to my partners wanting this. I have always liked holding hands and a kiss here and there. But, I have never been a cuddler, curling up on the couch, constant touch kind of person. This is what I have heard about from my partners.
I would definitely say that in comparison to most female bodied people I desire touch less than most.
Where this comes from I am not sure, as my family was physically affectionate in a healthy way. I wonder how much of our desire for touch (or tactile stimulation) is an inborn thing?
