Hope this becomes a thing one day

JackReaper333 · 2019-05-16T14:16:34+00:00

I hope it becomes a thing too. I really crave intimacy and touch. I miss it quite a lot.

I'm a sole support father. For the first time I'm five years, I got wished a happy mother's day for doing both jobs, by a feminist, I didn't know what to say.

BCVinny · 2019-05-16T17:05:57+00:00

This is why the love of dogs is so valued as they give the warmth of touch as often as it’s wanted. The touch of your woman is better, but is not as freely given.

After my divorce, i didn't seem that upset. I didn't cry, sulk, or wallow in my depression. My ex would try and immasculate me and ridicule me for being emotional, so i turned that part of myself off.

Until i met my current SO and she did this. I cried for the first time in years. So much repressed feelings coming out in an instant.

Men in general need much more emotional support, especially from other men.

greenSixx · 2019-05-16T15:25:33+00:00

What?

I do this with my son and daughter. All the time.

And I am a man.

This is insane.

jacksleepshere · 2019-05-16T17:03:41+00:00

stroke his hair

I feel personally attacked

hecate_13 · 2019-05-16T17:53:20+00:00

My husband told me rather recently that he craves hugs. Not that I never hugged him but when he is stressed or tired after work, he really just wants a long, tight hug. I've now been making a point to hold him tighter, let him bury his face in my shoulder or neck and honestly it's amazing. Something about intense, non-sexual intimacy is just so fulfilling.

2019-05-16T16:16:16+00:00

Yeah, not gonna lie, this is a huge thing for me and when it does happen I totally soak it up. Especially if she has nice nails or is a "good fit" for you (e.g. Her body fits yours well for cuddling)

dev_c0t0d0s0 · 2019-05-16T17:04:28+00:00

When I've had a bad day, my wife will spoon me from behind. Sometimes we all just need to be held.

5th_Law_of_Robotics · 2019-05-16T16:41:26+00:00

Feminists screech about unpaid emotional labor in 3... 2...

hell2go · 2019-05-16T18:01:21+00:00

That's all any of us have EVER wanted!! Well, sex, meat, and in my case gourmet sodas-- but that's the rest!

darkelfbear · 2019-05-16T17:58:58+00:00

My wife does this all the time, even if she is just getting up from her desk to leave the room for a minute. It literally can change a shitty day, into a better one.

Stakitawoof · 2019-05-16T19:56:54+00:00

Mom did it to me felt like someone cared

chambertlo · 2019-05-17T00:24:06+00:00

Men need hugs.

Regardless of all the macho shit, and the feminist male-shaming, the one thing that men need more of that they never seem to get enough of are hugs, affection, acknowledgement. This is why so many men walk around with their fists balled up, looking for an outlet for their frustrations. If they had more affection in their lives, they wouldn’t be so angry all the time.

shadowstep12 · 2019-05-16T17:27:38+00:00

Got damn what i wouldn't give for that.

aki-96 · 2019-05-16T17:25:10+00:00

My boyfriend asks for this at least 5 times a day lol. It's cute, I love it.

BobCatNinja_ · 2019-05-16T17:54:10+00:00

OP here, I just need someone to hold me. Check out r/rolereversal and ignore all the weird stuff and there’s a lot like this.

King_Ramayana · 2019-05-16T19:28:41+00:00

Happy to say my fiance does this for me :)

hardtruths2019 · 2019-05-16T16:52:34+00:00

I'm as alpha as they come and I still like touch from my woman. It is a physical manifestation of love and desire.

Diana-Costa · 2019-05-16T20:02:09+00:00

I do that everytime I'm with my boy, I do it more that he does probably. Sometimes we even sleep with me behind him.

chadwickofwv · 2019-05-16T20:28:05+00:00

This is why back scratches are so awesome.

lastdazeofgravity · 2019-05-16T20:30:31+00:00

i haven't experienced this since i was 3 years old

jeff_the_nurse · 2019-05-16T22:05:37+00:00

One reason I fell for my wife!

puppehplicity · 2019-05-16T23:56:10+00:00

That would be really nice. I am not sure that I would feel ready for it for quite some time, but I would like to feel safe having someone rub my back or just give me a peck on the forehead.

riot_ball · 2019-05-17T07:02:58+00:00

That's why I love dogs man.

They don't judge. They just give love and take scritches.

djc_tech · 2019-05-17T17:11:45+00:00

I commented in the other post about this. I'm 41, this never happened to me until recently. Ex-Wife wouldn't touch me like that. ever.

Seeing someone now and out of the blue asks if I wanted to just put my head in her lap. She ran her hands through my hair and lightly scratched my back and shoulders for like 30-40 minutes not questions asked. First time someone has done something like that for me ever my entire life.

ilikemychickenfried · 2019-05-16T22:49:11+00:00

My oma used to play with my hair and s ratchet my back all the time when I was a kid. I only just realized it's been a very long time since anyone dod this to me

Maheski · 2019-05-17T06:10:58+00:00

People recognising that men don't have to be strong all the time or brave for example just embracing that in that way there equal to females as intended which is finally something that isn't God damn female supremacy coming out of someone I thought it was going to say if you do that smack him for sexual assault or something

helix_jump · 2019-05-17T03:25:27+00:00

and then get metooed

hecker421 · 2019-05-17T01:27:55+00:00

Now that I think about it, I've actually never cuddled with any of my girlfriend's in the past. I tried once but she just pushed me off.

TheAtheistReverend · 2019-05-17T03:05:22+00:00

Google "professional cuddlist" this shit is real. Why did we lose this as a culture? Or why do we suddenly need it more? My wife and I had the "language of love" conversation almost 10 years into our marriage, and that's when I realized I just really need touch. Affectionate touch, whether it be hugs, hand holding, playing with my hair, or even just her leg touching mine in bed. Makes all the difference in the world to my overall happiness day to day. I still think she doesn't understand how important it is to me.

SOCIALIST_DESTROYER · 2019-05-18T03:25:55+00:00

Definitely.

This is a huge thing in the transgender community.

There are lots of transfeminine folks out there who are addicted to the intimate pleasure of "head-pats", as we like to refer to it.

https://www.reddit.com/r/traaaaaaannnnnnnnnns/comments/8hs0c0

I don't know if hormone therapy really changes the way my body responds to being gently held and "head-patted", but either way, it's rather amazing. If you haven't had the head-pats, you should try them right away, but do be forewarned that they might make you feel a bit subby, if you don't already ;-)

Thats-bk · 2019-05-29T17:28:51+00:00

its sad that when my wife does this to me, it kind of makes me uncomfortable for a second. Not in the "i dont want her doing this" kinda way. More of like a "why hasn't anyone done this before?" Obviously being comforted hasn't been the norm for me (or most guys). Reading this seriously made me almost cry..

goodmod · 2019-05-17T02:16:19+00:00

Although this is a good post, the title does not say enough about its subject. This forces people to click and read before they can decide whether they are interested. It also makes searching impossible.

If everyone did this, the subreddit would become unusable.

So please don't do it in future. Take the time to describe your link, and save the time of hundreds of other people.

When making a title, it's best to assume the reader doesn't know what you're talking about - but don't go overboard with every detail. Then check if there are any words you can cut out without losing any important information.

vxd386 · 2019-05-17T07:32:50+00:00

I'm not sure if this is the right way to go.

You have to raise your kids so they'll fit into the world we're living in. You have to prepare them. And that means preparing sons for the rough life they will have, a life mostly without hugs and cuddling.

Lumberingfeather · 2019-05-17T03:15:38+00:00

No dick, no place in the MRM.
