Us guys do like the touchy thing :-) I hug and kiss my wife before leaving every morning, and it makes me feel stronger during the day. It's harder when she's away on business and I have to go without. That said, the more we are close as a matter of course, the more sex we have too...! Yes!

Lucky for me, my hubby is a hugger and a hand-holder--and more importantly, he does it in front of our children. I love that my son and daughter get to see their dad demonstrate his love for their mom in an appropriately public way. I work in a school where kids sometimes "see too much", or are exposed to domestic violence, so this really resonates with me. Great article!

When my wife and I were first married, my parents came into town for the wedding, after not having seen me for the better part of a year. I had developed such an automatic habit of hugging my wife and patting her during the hug, that when Mom waked in the door, I did the same to her! Whups.... One of our current non-sexual touches (apart form the hug and pat routine) occurs when we are watching a movie together. We will sit on the couch or bed and essentially lean against each other shoulder to shoulder. it may sound strange, but it actually gives the feeling that we are watching together, rather than in the same room at the same time, individually watching a movie.

Um. Or just play with my hair. If you had ANY IDEA how good it feels... Seriously, I hate football and Jim Cramer but I would sit there for either if my Beloved was just running his hands through my hair. As for sex? I make sure he gets PLENTY at home, so he doesn't start itching for something else. In fact, I know his 'sexual cycle' so well that I know that if we haven't had sex in 5 days - he will turn a tad Neanderthal. I don't push it that long often, but sometimes a little anticipation never hurt anybody. ;) “Give massages.”

I like them. I would add a couple. touch her cheek (not just the one you like to pat Corey). Play with her hair. Give her a good kiss when she knows it's only about the kiss and can't lead to anything else. Do guys like the touchy thing as well? I am a very huggy touchy person and I sometimes wonder if the hub is tolerating it more than enjoying it. I know I get too huggy when I am stressing out. How's your trip? Good points. I like them.
