The reason is because, I just love the feeling of another woman's body against mine. I don't know what it is... if I really like her, I would like to touch her. I don't get a lot of affection, most women I just have sex and back to being friends. I still want that affection, that need to be touched and loved...
I actually have to restrain myself from making contact with people I don't know very well, or from going overboard with friend when in public or if they are uncomfortable with touching. I'm not talking anything sexual, just touchiness in general. For me touch is a major form of communication and connection. I can't even consider someone a friend if I haven't touched them at least once or twice.
Touchy feely as compared to what/who? Compared to, say, John Wayne or Clint Eastwood back in the day, yes! I'm a girl! Compared to Richard Simmons I'm John Wayne or Clint Eastwood. :-)
OH GAWD! I sound like a pansy...
I have met a surprising number of women over the years that are not!
