....and the implications that go with that. What do you know about this? Have you been for long stretches of time without any human touch let alone sex or a hug? If yes how did it make you feel? |

I have a small child so I never go without hugs.
I do miss intimacy with a guy though. Single 8 years now and winter always seems to make me want a boyfriend. |

Yes I have, and it sucks, I am very affectionate and tactile and like to have lots of physical contact every day. 
I have a hug deficit!  |

30 years with a husband who didn't kiss, and a cuddle (when it happened) that felt like I was cuddling a corpse.
I can only feel real intimacy with someone I have emotional ties to. |

I went without it for almost a year. It’s a great sense of freedom but it wears off, as said above there’s parts of the year (usually the darker months) when you need some warmth and someone to brighten up the darker days. |

I have been single for 10 years. Sex is not difficult to achieve if you are female. I am a touchy feely person, and fortunately my neighbours/friends/work colleagues, are happy to be hugged at any excuse  |

I have and do in fact, my child has grown up, I get a kiss on the forehead 'goodnight' and other than that no human contact for a long time.
I don't feel any different and until now haven't stopped to think about it. I don't feel cold or cut off. Writing this I do feel lucky that it dosent bother me.
Too ashamed to admit how long without touch though.
I haven't patted a dog for a while but that don't feel weird either though.

Like a television or hoover, January or even boxing day is the best time to pick up a new boyfriend.

Yes and no, I was married for over 22 years and for over 18 years of those he never kissed me. We did have sex in a fashion as it was completely void of emotion for me. But I have my children and always get cuddles off them. Also now I have mr and he gives great cuddles x |

Not since having kids, they will grab you anytime for a hug but have in the past. Only a couple of weeks at a time, but along with mental blocking too is bloody painful. Tend to develop a thick skin and a reliance on yourself for comfort  |

I went 9 years in a relationship without intimacy. It was so painful and made me feel incredibly low at times. I got hugs from friends, kids and family but it just isn’t the same as cuddles and kisses with 2 ppl who love each other. I need affection and intimacy, both giving and receiving. It’s better than any medicine, the whole world disappearing and only the 2 of you exist in that moment  |

Was in a loveless sexless marriage for the last 10years until I moved out last year and it was the intimate times I missed more ..I am lucky to have Si now who gives wonderful kisses and hugs but due to circumstances we aren't always together and that's what I miss the most having that someone to share things with x storm x |

Sometimes all I see is darkness
And my tears they flow
Like rivers in the night
Then she comes to me and puts her arms around me...
Reading this thread reminded me of that. It's an old blues song.
Guess it proves that we all need someone who puts their arms around us understands us and accepts a us as we are...
It's hard to find but that connection that starts in the mind where everything else follows including the physical intimacy that goes with it.
It's always worth looking for ...

Im not naturally touchy feely. I can be affectionate at times but its generally at my initiation.
I moved to the other side of the country a few months ago.
I was ill over the weekend and its been the first time in months Ive craved intimacy. I wanted to be home with my mum looking after me and snuggled up with my dad on the sofa.
I have fab friends who offered to come see me but feeling ill and vulnerable meant I just didn't want it from them. |

"Yes, for almost 10yrs with my ex, and made to feel like it was my fault.
Took a long time after we split to begin to realise it was never me.
"
Some men are very good at manipulating the situation. My ex was emotionally abusive so my feelings were used as a weapon against me. It's hard to realise you weren't the problem x |

I was in a crap and abusive marriage for over 20 years with very little intimacy after i had my children. Apart from them i got no hugs, kisses etc which was hard as i longed for a proper adult partner who loved me. Thankfully i have that now though and life is good and i no longer feel worthless  |

Reading your openess to the subject has been refreshing in its own weird way. You know a baby can hardly survive without being held and loved. Then something huge happens along the way and touch can fall by the way side. It's quite something to experience and I definitely do not think it's healthy at all. There are ways of getting around it but it's not always as simple. I've asked certain people to just hug me and I'll hug them back. I know it's not the same as hugging someone you love. I go for massages which can be absolutely amazing. Normally I go to the Thai ladies as they're very talented (and no not like that hehe). I've had quite intense self loving moments and make sure I masturbate regularly. You know that expression...it takes a village to raise a child...well, the village should still exist. We should still be reaching out as much as we can. Thank you Fab for the potential possibilities x |

I remember dry spells of intimacy - not nice...
I like my kiss hello & goodbye, i like the hugging too, whether it's my fella or my friends or my family....
We all need human contact
