From The Hite Report of Female Sexuality by Shere Hite:

"Women often said how much more important body contact and closeness were to them than org*sms...

'I would rather make out than screw. And it’s not the same if it’s just a prelude to screwing.'...

'If I had to choose between the two, I’d choose touching. I really dig kissing, hugging, fondling, looking at, and feeling the other person.'...

'General body touching is more important to me than org*sms. A good kiss, to touch each other in the middle of the night... A really good hug will take over an org*sm any day.'

'With my present lover, we spend hours caressing, touching, cuddling and hugging, kissing, and just resting against one another. It feels marvelous!'

'Hugging is really important to me. I also like kissing and caressing all parts of the body... I enjoy these activities more than regular genital sex... I really enjoy just holding each other.'

'physical contact in the form of touching, hugs, embraces, caresses, etc. is most important. I am more interested in having that kind of physical contact than I am in having sex.'...

'Physical affection and touching are much more important than all sex and org*sms.'

Desire for more touching and body contact was more or less universal... However... many women said that men usually did not like to touch except during sex...

'men most generally have but one end in mind when they touch you.'...

'my husband limits most of his kissing to sex-resulting situations. I like being held and kissed spontaneously, and playing around-but he doesn’t.'"

We've been practically sisters since we met back in kindergarten. We're polar opposites who sometimes have a hard time understanding each other, but nevertheless we love each other unconditionally. However, since about a year ago, it seems like she's been struggling with sexuality issues, but I'm not sure. I don't even know how I can bring up my concern, because whether I'm right or wrong I think I could offend her. This concern of mine started one day when we were skyping and she started telling me about this gorgeous female friend whom she claimed she admires and can't stop thinking about. She tried to explain further but stopped, clearly feeling uncomfortable or worried. I wanted to try to understand the situation, whether she just admired this girl or had feelings for her, but I didn't know how to talk to her about it. After that, she never brought up the girl again and neither did I. Today, she facetimes me and starts bawling immediately, telling me about her roommate she always hangs out with. Apparently they used to hang out all the time, but now this chick has started hanging out with this other chick, and this other chick is, I quote, "changing" chick 1 to be more stylish and extroverted. On the other hand, my sporty, introverted friend says she feels left out and so jealous that she can't sleep. It seems to be bothering her so much - I mean, excessively! My friend even feels the urge to check her roommate's location when she's out with chick 2. I can't understand what's happening to my girl. I had my share of drama back in middle school and high school, but since I started going to college most of my friends have been guys and the only female friends I do have aren't, you know, surrounded by girl drama, so I don't know how to give her the right advice. I told her she should talk to her friend - without making it too dramatic, but she says she doesn't want to. Then I told her that she needs to find more loyal friends, which I don't think helped at all...

Yes you read right this is about a girl and I'm a girl. First off, I've known Monique since we were 15 (we are both 23 now). I thought I was straight until I got close with her. Monique is a lesbian and a little tomboyish. We became close as friends in high school and I even started to like her! This made me question my sexuality big time. She rejected me because she saw me as a friend and I was 100% okay with that and quickly moved on!

Fast forward to now,
We are both 23. We recently got back in touch after all these years and we have caught up. :) it was nice to have my friend again! I've dated guys between then and now and have been attracted to guys. We are both single at this time. The more I've been talking with her... The more my crush for her is developing. I'm confused because 1.) Am I interested in girls too?
Also, she's been saying things that make me question if she feels the same. I'll give you some examples:
I was talking about how I wanted a back rub (in general)
Her response: You're about to catch these magic hands ☺ hahaha
And I said: Awwww I thought you were serious lol
And she said: Well I was but I didn't want to sound weird 🤦but you can catch the magic hands anytime.
Then later we planned to go to a concert and she promised me that it would be fun for me.
Then I was talking about how I have a tummy because I'm chubby. She said "No you don't. You're perfect!"
Then I was talking about cuddling weather and how I needed to cuddle with my someone and I wanted it to be her. I then immediately text back that I was sorry for sounding weird. She said "Well if I'm not a weirdo to you... Then you're not a weirdo to me. 😉 I'll be your cuddy buddy ☺ haha." I'm just confused because she could just be nice and she calls me 'girl' and I do that with my other female friends... Help me?
