Men, do you like a platonic touch?

Question

MrOracle · Accepted Answer

The vast majority of men cannot be platonic with attractive women. They may manage their behavior, but in their mind, it's never platonic. Thus, it's naive to believe that just because YOU feel something is platonic that a man can see it that way - they can only do so if they don't find you attractive.

Ianto · Accepted Answer

Normally, if a woman touches a guy, then it is not going to stay platonic.
However, I recently had a woman make a habit of "possessive touching" when we were in company. Since she wasn't interested in sex, it seemed she was just putting others off - that, I did not like.

As a kid, all the way into adulthood, being encouraged too be completely open and comfortable iin my own skin while a female friend my age showed both understanding and acceptance of my male sexual development when examining, washing, massaging, and closely monitoring the physical development and growth, when handling and having a close look at, my reproductive organs and prostate gland when shoving a couple fingers up inside my rectal cavity with her diligent daily inspections of my private parts while nude, was a testimate too her caring enough too protect my health at the expense of my privacy. My unquestioning trust in her of my entire anatomy during these invasive inspections for hygiene, parasites, rash, and injuries showed relatives, neibors, and freinds I was totally comfortable with her knowing everything there was too know about me physically, emotionally, spiritually, and sexually while monitoring my sexual arousal too her masturbating me in front of cute girls I thought were really pretty. She made sure everyone understood the role male ejaculation played in starting a family and showing a lady appreciation and love, her touching my penis and scrotal sack non sexual in nature, sparing me the anxiety of insecurity too my ability too perform sexually for a wife or girlfriend. She didn't have a biological brother, but I was the brother she cared about and protected and knew intimate details about from non reproductive handling and stimulation of my sexual organs without the trappings of romantic intrigues involving sexual intercourse and erotic kissing and touching. She knew more about my body than I did, and I was fine with that. 4 years ago, my own mother saw me fully exposed and humiliated, not by my nude state for two days straight, or even bending over and spreading cheeks and talking too her while my anal region, premium, testicles, and penis were closely examined and manipulated for medical concerns that worried both of us enough too discard male modesty and acknowledge her right too deny me privacy of any kind as necessary too protect my private parts from being amputated instead of keeping things from her that I had no right too keep secrets from. Embarrassing too keep scratching and pulling on my penis and scrotal sack in front of her as a constant reminder that the one thing that embarrassed me was the reason why I was naked with itchy, raw groin areas and anal regions was my overtrusting, naive nature in allowing myself too become penniless, homeless, without even the clothing on my back due too contaminated vengeance of crazy recently ex girlfriend of shorts and shirt lying on bed while I took a shower and she threw everything into waiting garbage truck. Seeing my 46 year old exposed morning erection and testicles didn't bother mom, so I adapted. She asked me not too feel embarrassed.

Eh... Hmmm... Not really. Happy to shake hands or do the cheek kissing thing to say hello etc but don't really like touching anyone for anything unless it's fucking or a contact sport like rugby or boxing etc.

najekim · Answer

Doesn't bother me any. All this no touch others crap would not fly in the deep south. In the decade I lived in the deep south you're not having a conversation unless one is touching the other some innocent way a few times. Like a hand on the arm or shoulder. Southern folk are just more relaxed with life. Wish it would spread northwards.

Jamie05rhs · Answer

No. Not unless it's coming from someone who I actually have sex with (or will in the future.). If you're not going to fuck me, then don't touch me at all, please. That's just insulting.

jkm1864 · Answer

Yes because men don't get touched enough in society and they sure as hell can't touch anyone without being called a homo, pedophile, or sexual harasser. Masculinity is in a sad state of affairs in the west and there is no denying that fact.

It can certainly be very pleasurable. I saw a dermatologist and almost creamed my jeans when she examined my scalp. She is a beautiful woman and has a very sensuous touch. She also seemed to really like my hair. :-)

blutwolfe · Answer

Nah I have issues so I prefer not if it's not my partner, I mean the occasional bro hug doesn't bother me, but that's more of a goodbye or what's up kind of thing, not regular touching

hellacray · Answer

A pat on the back or a handshake is fine.  If you're touching me intimately then that's no longer platonic.  Don't play mind games with men. If you don't like him that way don't touch him that way.

David92506 · Answer

I loved being touched! I get a massage once a week and I love it! So to answer your question, Yes I do like a platonic touch.

100Bandz · Answer

I like it because Physical Touch is my #1 love language, but at the same time I hate it because it causes me to believe she likes me. :/

IAMNathanael · Answer

I don't like being touched in general. Also, this picture looks real weird to me. Those girls are looking at him like he's an alien.

Kurαȷ · Answer

I don't really want to be touched by people who aren't my partner. So I guess not.

_SOARER · Answer

I do. But unfortunately one of the people always ends up mistaking it haha its better to keep platonic touch to minimum, like occasional hugs, handshakes, high fives haha :)

ItsTheNephilim · Answer

Depends on what do you mean by 'platonic'. I'm not a fan of getting touched in general.

boredguy01 · Answer

No. I hate being touched by anyone except my girlfriend

codyccc · Answer

Nope dont start something you don't intend to finish a quick hug or handshake or to slap a bug off is fine but no unnecessary touching

Lliam · Answer

Yes. I miss handshakes, hugs and platonic touch in these days of covid-phobia.

Jjpayne · Answer

I'd like to think i do, I'm more a hugger myself :)

Kaneki05 · Answer

That's better than sexual if that includes hugs and cuddling. I take that over sexual stuff.

Glenn603 · Answer

Yes absolutely. In some ways i prefer a platonic touch to a sexual one

Bananaman177 · Answer

Probably less than 25% of all men have ever experienced it, would be my guess.

Don-_-Don · Answer

If it's like being touched in the face like the picture above then no.

loveslongnails · Answer

I like being touched by women, and I'll man hug if it's appropriate. I don't have aversions to being physical.

Jacksoscar · Answer

Depends on who it is. I'm not overly fond of being touched. But yes a platonic touch is nice if it's someone I know well and comfortable with.

sensible27 · Answer

Depends on what and how often I guess... as with a decent number of things in day to day it may be variable.

Gedaria · Answer

Yes , but sometimes it's hard to tell the difference...

IMainHanzo · Answer

Hugs are nice but just lile with everything else. Context is key.

KrakenAttackin · Answer

This is not "platonic" this is cock teasing, be honest.

jmstarling · Answer

Yes. I love it when women friends hug me and stuff even though I know it's platonic.

Nahid1707 · Answer
