| Just Some Girl | Definately!! Touch reinforces love! |
| Misti | Hell yeah, it's important! Bear hugs! Butterfly kisses! Eskimo kisses! All kinds of kisses! Cuddling! Holding hands is good, too. I can't formulate a poetic response to such a basic question. I can't imagine NOT being affectionate with my husband. That seems odd. |
| violet | Yes, affection and touching is very important. It keeps the spark alive, which keeps the relationship happy. |
| Ali | Yes! It is amazingly important. Touch can say things sometimes that words can't. Physical affection is the bridge between what's spoken and what's not spoken... What can I say? I'm a very affectionate person! *smile* |
| B.K. | Yes absolutely, touch is as essential as air is to breathe. bk |
| Kirk | I'd be surprised if anyone actually said "No". Though I'm not that big into "Public Displays of Affection" per se. And most of the touch has more to do with a goofy playfullness than anything else. |
| jims_belle | It is vitally important to have a good physical relationship with your partner. The touches...the kisses... stimulate hormones that help bond the partners together. |
| Jon | Yes touch is important, but it isn't necessary I think. My cousin was in a horrible car accident and she was paralyzed from the neck down. She can't move, she can't feel anything, but you know what the amazing thing was? Her boyfriend stood by her side and eventually married her. Even though she was unable to please his physical needs...the emotions, the love they share was just enough for the both of them. One day I hope I can love someone that much. Touch is important. But love, that fire that is inside your heart...it touches the inside in ways that no physical action could ever match on the outside. |
| urbntofu | There is definite a need for physical affection because when you have truly fallen in love, often times there are never enough words to describe the overwhelming emotions that you have for that person. I think that's what makes long-distance relationships a little difficult to grasp... you constantly long for the other person, to express what words never can. Heh, that's how I feel right now. *HOLDING HANDS IS TOUCHING SOULS.* Happy Loving, Everyone! <33 |
| wordley | Someone said "one touch is worth a thousand words".......don't know WHO said it but they were SO right!!......especially when it's in the right place!! |
| jackryhme | ummm yes i think it is... as to why... well ... i have taken care of cuts, scrapes, bruises, have held her when sick ( i get a gag reflex to ummm well some one else vomiting, like im a sympathetic puker but still..lol she spews i spew she spews sort of thingy.. i have held her still so for support) was there with her when she miscarried, holding her hand...was there with the birth of our daughter again holding her hand.... i have held her in her pain as well as in her anger so i figure if i can hold her at the worst of times i better be able to touch her in the best don't cha think? plus a touch conveys at times far more than words depths to feelings, thoughts , or just to say yes i welcome you here for you are my support sort of deal ...well at least so i think... lol buts thats just me i guess jack |
| unreasonable | What kind of question is THAT? Duh. |
| Rhetoric | Come on, come on, come on, now - TOUCH ME BABE. Can't you see that I am not afraid? Well said, Jim. |
