I'm all for most physical contact. Hugs, arms around shoulders, etc. I feel you about handshakes though. It can be awkward sometimes if the handshake isn't "perfect" :/

Even with strangers, I'm all good with random hugs and stuff.

On an informal level, like with a mate, I enjoy sitting really close, cuddling, I enjoy when an arm is put around me ( I feel protected lol), holding hands is literally my favorite thing in the world, and I give the greatest hugs and I just. I can't STAND kissing. I've done it but I just find it so gross. Oh well, what do I know?
 Formally, I'm okay with shaking hands. High fives aren't formal but they're chill. Idk what else. I just really like hugs and holding hands.

I'm okay with hugs and the like from trusted friends, but I suppose it depends on my mood. Some days I don't mind, others I highly value my personal space and don't want it disturbed. It depends on the person and the situation.

It's a little different when it comes to more RP-based situations and acting things out with fursonas; I don't mind a bit of cuddling up but I'd prefer it be something that's happening on the side of an actual conversation. I get closer to people through learning more about them and talking regularly, sharing ideas and interests and all that.

I can't hug people
Only people I love... Which is odd since friends do it, some strangers, or family but I have to love, trust, respect, them. Hopefully it's just an odd thing I'm going through sometimes I feel rude to people when I reject hugs.

Meh, I don't touch people because I'm a disgusting fatass. I know my place, and it's not being wrapped around someone else.

I've hugged you once before, but that's true you don't like hugs even though every friend at our school wants to hug you for some reason...

I'm all for it.  Hug a stranger?  I'm down with it.  Hand shakes are for certain semi-formal moments and one always stands up to shake a hand even if sitting when it is offered.  That's just how it's done.


Not a big fan of amateur massages.


I like kissing, but agree it is gross XD

Usually can't stand touch, although some people seem to be able to touch me without it bothering me... If I can actually stand the touch of someone without wanting them to stop immediately and me try to shake the feeling off, then I'm perfectly ok with it.

I'm a very touchy-feely kind of person so it's really hard for me to not hug people sometimes or touch their hair. Like, even sometimes when I'm hanging out with my friends I feel like putting my head on one of their shoulders (one friend in particular  <.< ). Anyway, I feel like touching someone and receiving touch is a great way of affection. I'm literally a child in a relationship like I have no idea why that is but then it's like I become more playful like a fox. My fox comes out! Oh sorry.

I love touching, hugging, cuddling and all that good stuff. Hell I even sometimes give double handed handshakes and touch strangers when trying to walk through a crowd.

I am extremely sensitive to touch. I don't know if I am more or less than others, but it profoundly affects me. I do enjoy having personal space but for those I let in I really love a good hug, and receiving a good massage is indescribable for me because it feels so wonderful. Romantically, cuddling, hand holding, embracing, and all the rest almost puts my brain into overdrive and I get goosebumps instantly since it feels so good.

I think I have an oversized touch center in my brain or something too because I can feel certain music, not in the hippy sense, but in the actual tactile sense. It is unbelievable.

So yeah, touch rules!

Giving a good handshake is important to me. Also contrary to my online self, I'm always up for a hug.

I'm not really one for physical contact. I just don't like it haha. Sometimes a hug from someone I might know is okay, but otherwise... no. ヾ(T(エTヽ
