    Physical touch is nice, not much to it i’d say

    I remember an ex game me head scratches randomly. Cried for like 10 min feeling emotions I never knew existed.

    Men aren’t given affection. It’s a nice change of pace to be vulnerable and taken care of, even if it’s as simple as a back scratch.

    Makes me feel warm and fuzzy. My hair is roughly three feet long, and having fingers run through it feels amazing

    The feeling is hard to explain. When your partner finally reaches for you with some warmth and rubs your back, chest or back of the neck it’s kind of amazing. It’s sort of like reassurance and love in one. That she’s chosen you and appreciates you.

    It is the type of physical touch I want the most.

    It’s soothing. It’s affectionate.

    Don’t know the science but it wins every time.

    Had a girl do that when I was offshore and it was damn near impossible to walk away from.

    Men don’t receive physical affection as often, so when it does happen, it’s usually more impactful

    Not as much as a neck rub down the spine between the shoulder blades

    I hate questions like this.

    Men, what do kind/comforting things that soothe all humans do for you?

    It’s…soothing for us?

    It feels nice and it’s positive attention showing affection. It’s like the meme with the cheetah.

    My boss touches my back with her long nails, sends good shivers to the center of my mind.

    Intimacy at it’s finest. I remember all ability to speak going out the window the second those nails made contact with my skin. Brain just rebooted and I swear I became full awareness.

    I did not know this broken heap of glass and pain, my spine, can be massaged.

    My gf used to rub my chest at night and it was so alien to me, but it would make me so calm that id immediately sleep

    My eyes get watery, I don’t know why, I’m calm and happy but as if my body wants to cry. It’s nice and wierd at same time.

    Hair is like all physical touching, really nice when it is from the right person but hair and head touching isn’t much different from touching my shoulder or leg, I like it but it isn’t out of body nice.

    Back scratches and back of the neck scratches is my pause button. Whatever I do is just on pause when I get back scratches!
