https://goodmenproject.com/featured-content/megasahd-the-lack-of-gentle-platonic-touch-in-mens-lives-is-a-killer/

i think the article makes lots of great points that anyone regardless of gender identity would find pertinent.

i would like to see the boys of em discuss. men, what do u think? do u find it difficult to express affection? why is it difficult? how could change come about? (hint: change starts with U!!!!)

i think everyone would benefit from a more open & affectionate & emotional world.

do u agree or disagree? (not w me but w the article) y do u feel whatever u feel?

i encourage you all to explore within yourselves how affectionate touch makes u feel, why it makes u feel that way, and if u dont like how u feel, how can that feeling be changed into a positive one? and then on the same hand, consider how affectionate touch from you could make others feel.

lets discuss!

i will try

to be more affectionate to my fellow man

I think a measure of affection should be how much you say "no homo"

i hate intimacy

What is intimacy to you?

it ranges from having a personal conversation to being close friends, i.e. stating affection, hugging, anything else. i dont hate it, i just cant stand it because of social anxiety and trust issues. help me

But on a more serious note, at times like this I find it necessary to reflect on the jedi code.

The Code

There is no Emotion, there is Peace.

There is no Ignorance, there is Knowledge.

There is no Passion, there is Serenity.

There is no Chaos, there is Harmony.

There is no Death, there is the Force.

goms i am sorry but in order to have intellectual discussions u have to be able to sit down and read things sometimes!!!!! its a skill u learn in AP classes if u ever took those and hopefully one ur college will be teaching u!

the tl;dr is that men r afraid to touch others for fear of being seen as a gay or a predator & it is hurting the psyches of men & everyone else! because touch is a necessary component of a happy life
