Physical needs

Hi, I've been wondering what everyone does to replace the physical need for touch and affection. ( I'll leave the obvious unstated.) My partner was incredibly affectionate, and I loved that about him. Now I'm finding that a whole dimension is missing in my life--the physical connectivity that made me feel good and fully alive. I miss cuddling, hugging, hand-holding, touching for no reason.
I'm thinking of going for massage. I guess beyond finding another lover, which I am not ready for, that may be the only outlet. How do you deal with this lack of affection? Posted on 10/26/09, 09:10 am |

I saw a young man and woman share a lingering kiss on the street today and it really tugged at my heart. I miss that so much! I thought of how long it's been since I've kissed someone on the mouth, since the day before my honey died. I don't want to kiss anyone else, but I sure wish I could kiss him again! We were so good at it!

I did get to kiss my Bob just minutes before he passed. Like everyone else I miss his touch. After the 3 decades we shared, just the thought of someone else feels cheating. Just this July, one short month before his diganosis, he brought home a puppy, a big puppy. Who just now at 6 months weighs 54 lbs. I have him curl up next to me, his breathing and heart beat remind my of my Bob. So that's where we're staying for now.
