Let s a y Michelle, I am so sorry you suffered sexual assault. That is an experience no woman should ever be subjected too. With your beautiful writings, videos, and apparent joy, you seem to be recovering well. I really appreciate your comments regarding non-sexual touch and intimacy. There are many days I find myself just wanting and needing a hug. And I don't care if it's from a man or woman. Just having a touch with another person can be very healing. Thank you for a very meaningful article!

That gentle touch has been sorely lacking.

It’s such an innate thing all hearts and bodies need 🤍

You are a truly beautiful person, Michelle. Physically, you are spectacular. I could watch you dance for hours, with or without touch. Spiritually, you have a spectacular soul. Your smile lights up the world around you. There is such peace and love and joy on your face…you are a very rare being.

I send you all the tender thoughts and admiration for a fully formed soul that is all light. You chased the darkness spattered on you by an evil creature not worthy of licking <I better stop here…I do not want to sully your space with negative energy>. The world is a much better place because you are in it. If this is as close as I ever get to being near you, you have made my world a bit brighter. If I could hug you, I would, so maybe I can give you back what you have given me. I, too, am a tactile being.

A tender and necessary meditation on the richness of non-sexual intimacy. In a culture that often conflates touch with romance, this piece reminds us that affection, presence, and skinship can be profoundly healing in their own right. To be held without agenda is, sometimes, the deepest form of love.

As a nurse in palliative care, I found that touch was an essential part of relating to the person being cared for. To stroke the brow, to rub the feet were reassurances that your loss of body mass or scars had not changed you as a person to be cherished and loved.

Beautifully written, Sookah. As the saying goes, “The world changes when we change. The world softens when we soften”.

Does sexual energy mean either physically or internally where both man and woman interact in terms of intimacy miss..

Now I can’t wait for holding time with her before sleep.

But wow. Healing touch with friends. That’s a reach that I need to think about.
