I nursed all three of my kids. The T I used to have comminted several times that it didn't seem to be touch that was so much the issue. I'd set in the floor durring our session and my littlest would crawl all over me. My boys are touch feely types and I don't mind. I rub backs and feet(yuck) but I have a hang up on touching adult males. I have come to discover w/ my new T that it has nothing to do w/ females it is definiately a male thing. There is certinly good reason (rape) but that feeling existed before the rape and the T is unsure of why. I don't know why either. So we most likely will not go there. My neighbor was a petafile. (sp) But the T seems to think we should leave well enough alone. If it ain't ready to come out then we are not gonna mes w/ things and make it come out. It will come out one day maybe or maybe not. So hope for the best. At least where I am right now w/ T. The T says the same thing you said. As humans we thrive on human touch and connection that is what separates us from other mammals .
