Touch is not sex
14 years ago
I'm trying to do a bit of brainstorming on a subject. Here's what I had on twitter so far, I'll elaborate when I think of how to word it.
I like contact, especially from friends. But I was raised with very little of it; I don't know how to ask for it or respond appropriately.
This problem grows exponentially in public. I don't want to send the wrong signals to anyone involved. (gee, introvert much?)
If nothing else I may respect your personal boundaries more than you'd like me to in public. In private I will usually reciprocate anything.
I need to disassociate touch in general from sex. Not all touches have to be advances, and my mind has trouble with that concept sometimes.

It can be awkward hugging someone who you don't know appreciates it - and worse, there are some who definitely don't appreciate it. I guess that's why people like fursuits; they're easy to hug and be hugged in.
