every so often i will see something in my inbox from fetlife that will inspire me to write
this message has been sitting untouched for about a week now
but today i was brave enough to face the question and the pain that always comes with such a sensitive subject
affection, cuddles, touch, mental stimulation is what i need
often around me i find people who are unable to understand why these things are so vital to me
one guy on a dating site said i should just get a puppy and drop the sites
another guy said i should see a shrink
lovely men there are in the world
(not that today’s women are any better)
i take the time to explain who i am and what i need
then i get attacked for being me
for being my special kind of “handicapped”
ah well you cant expect everyone to be able to handle the truth
or to say no to their over active libido and under developed IQ
i know that not all men (or women) are like this
but i often find the worst before i find the normal or exceptional ones
i am not pessimistic… i am honest..realistic
i am not half empty or half full…i am the glass..
so this question was asked
and with all fetlife questions that i share on my blog
i do not give the comments of others or names/handles
What does cuddling mean to you?
How far does it go before its not cuddling? Some “cuddling” that I’ve experienced isn’t cuddling at all. Its full fledged messing around. Personally, those aren’t the same thing. I like having stuff defined so everyone is at least in the same book and there are minimal surprises. Let me know your thoughts.
and this is what i had to say
i like to sleep with people
not sex
doesnt have to be heavy petting or kissing
just two or more bodies in a bed or on a pile of pillows
arms around each other
feeling warm, safe, content
my life is full of stress and pain
i need the innocent and affectionate side of cuddling
like how puppies or other baby animals group together and sleep
everyday
all day
i have to be strong and cope and try to look normal
but i suffer a lot of chronic pain and stress
when i cuddle
i get to let go of that
i get to relax
and relaxing is so damn hard for me
but so few people seem to get this concept
and trying to explain this to the french
the guys all seem to think i am crazy
or that i am hiding what i “really” want
where i am it is very lonely
the women are distant and usually cold or fear breaking taboos
the men usually just want sex.. not even kink…just sex
so boring
thank you for inspiring me to write
i will add this (what i have to say and your question, not others comments) to my blog
but no worries, i never put names or images unless requested
what i didnt add in my reply is that i have had a number of people assume that i mean foreplay and sex when i tell them i want to cuddle
when i was state side, there was a guy i met online and i clicked with him
i felt very comfortable with him and just wanted to be wrapped up in his arms
no stress, no pressure, no drama
he was like me in that he had a troubled past with a broken marriage
but he assumed i meant i wanted sex and drama
it amazes me how i can write a blog
share all that i am on any single subject
explain that these are my thruths
this is who i am
read me
and yet they don’t and they make assumptions and we both lose a chance for something good
i dont play games
i dont like lies
i dont want to be used
i dont want to be a slut to try and find the affection i need in touch
i dont want to compromise, again and again, who i am for others
i want to touch and be touched
i want to rest my head in your lap while listening to music or watching movies or sitting in the park
i want your hand running through my hair
my body curled around yours if we are in the park
or my body parallel, entwined with your legs as you lean back
i need your body close to me
as close as one can be without merging into one being
i need to feel safe, protected, wanted… not sexually desired..wanted, cared for
with this i can relax
with this i can let go of the stress and pain
i dont understand why this behavior is accepted in pets…animal on animal contact
or human and animal contact
but not with human to human
we are animals
i know i have said this before
but as the world has not stood up and taken notice
i say it again
there needs to be more love
more unconditional love and happiness
not hippy free love and no thinking
puppy innocence
but this is what i think
my two cents

ps… you see the white space around me in this picture
that is where you belong
cuddling me
