I have gone to get three massages, each at a different place, under my own steam, in an effort to deal with my touch issues. It is hard, but I do enjoy it. I always wear my pants and say the massage can take place strictly on my back. No therapist has ever had anything to say about it. One of the massages I had was a hot stone massage, so most of the contact was with stones, not hands.

I recommend this kind of contact, especially for those of us who have so little physical contact with others in our daily lives. Humans do need touch, and when we can tolerate it, it feels so nourishing.
