We never ever touch. I think that boundary is there for safety and security. Not that my T would ever touch someone inappropriately, but this way there are no misunderstandings. Also I think I had to take a very big risk to trust T, and adding touch into the equation would be too much for me.

I'm interested to know whether this is different between the US and the U.K.
I'm just saying because when I have visited the US I had the impression that people hug more often! not meaning to offend anyone, it was just my impression! On a few occasions I was hugged by people I didn't know all that well. It surprised me but I was ok with it.
