Thanks for posting this. After reading this, I asked myself if T would be able to realize that it would be a delicate situation for me...and I know she would. She is a good T and has not lead me wrong yet... I think I'm worrying too much. I'm 75% sure she would say yes to my request and that she would do it...I think the only thing that would hold her back is either school policy (she is a T that is employed by my university) or knowing MY strict no-touch policy and thinking perhaps I am not ready yet. But if I directly ask for it? I think that means I'm ready...and I think she would think that too.

Syra-- I think you're right. Being clear in what I am wanting; telling her what will help and what won't, is a good way to do this.
