Non-sexual intimacy

Being a Deadhead (lover of Grateful Dead music) I have found family in other Weirdos like me at concerts, there are quite a few cover bands, hugs are Deadhead handshakes. Metalheads mosh. Salsa's salsa. Classicals shake hands. My point is find a group of any interest, readers or birders or hunters and show up and you will be welcomed eventually.
I suggest finding music you like and find it often and others will find you.
 
I don't think most suicides make it on the news. Only the spectacular ones. Mine wouldn't be spectacular. Everyone would be able to stop worrying about me.
My life is chaotic.... but I will continue to think well of, and pray for you if that's ok with you...
 
In response to your original post, I often feel the same. Yes, I love a great sex romp, but quite often, I just crave the nearness, proximity for me is very soothing. Placing a hand, arm or leg/foot on another for contact centers my focus, always has. Such a simple act for me but it delivers such a satisfying emotional need I get in my heart. If I don't get to cuddle often, I get grumpy and disheartened.
 
Things have worsened. Need hugs and kisses from someone close. Won't be getting them.:(
Love 💘 You and thinking about you, Brother....
Even though we're currently in different circumstances, as my Lovely Wife is the ONLY thing that is stable... I'm wishing you the best, in EVERY WAY POSSIBLE!

I don't even have that stability. I have NOTHING stable in my life right now. I don't know where July's rent will come from, or how I'll keep gas in the car for the rest of this month. What's the point anymore?

🫂 Big big hugs. When I feel the most alone and hopeless I go out and hug a tree, if I can. Believe it or not, trees (and all of nature) have a grounding energy and tree hug will take me from a paniced anxious mess to someone who can breath. Hope you have a tree nearby you can hold 💜

CREATE some stability!
I currently have more wolves chewing on my ass than you can shake a stick at, but I REFUSE, to let them eat me (despite the fact that I will tell them to!)

Been there, done that.... some of the BEST times of my life, were spent broken, dejected, hard-scrabble, camping on a creek, with nowhere else to go.... cooking a meager meal on leftover coals.... IOW, there's fucking FREEDOM in finding YOURSELF!!!
DON'T place your self-worth on someone who would/ will/can/ fuck you over!!!!!
 
I'm surprised that no-one has mentioned the best non-sexual experience there is: to share a nice hot bath with someone. It can lead to a sexual experience but it need not. I have a spa bath that I like to share with a friend after a strenuous walk in the bush or just after a hot summer's day. Even more fun with some bubble bath and a glass of wine on the side.
I think this is the darkest thread I have read on Lit.
Cheer up! No-one benefits from suicide.
 
I love baths, but it's been YEARS since I've been able to take one. Knee problems and weight problems. I'd love to find a place with a full-sized tub I could get in and out of.
