I do in fact like being touched by others, and I have had a distinct lack of it in recent years. I've been living by myself for a few years now and also been a bit of a homebody so opportunites for physical contact have been few and far between.

But man, I'm absolutely the person who's like hey, hug your friends. Lean on each other on the couch. It's healing.

While I don't think that there's any particular place I like being touched, I will say that a feeling I've been chasing for years is when I was with my ex and she'd be on top of me, sometimes our bellies would brush against each other and it drove me insane. I was fat, she wasn't, but she did have a little bit of a tummy, and when our bellies would touch it felt really fucking good. Of course, she was embarassed about being "fat", even tho I was twice her size and she'd constantly talk about how much she liked how I was fat. While that was really affirming, and definitely helped me get over any insecurity about being fat, she would say shit like "boys are allowed to be fat, girls aren't."

Well I'm girls now and I'm fat so really what does she know.

The extra bit to all of this is that nobody's really touched my body ever since I transitioned so like, lemmie get back to you on this one.
