Threads like this drive me nuts because before you know whats happened, all touch with a therapist is being condemned. Someone said that a kiss, no matter where it was, is innappropriate. What a lot of rubbish. My T kisses me on the cheek, shes a woman and obviously I am too. There is nothing sexual about it, its an expression of genuine love from one person to another. It just bugs me the way we always seem to end up throwing the baby out with the bath water. I dont know if its different in the USA, but things are very different here in the UK. I actually touch my therapist and she touch us back. We hug, hold, she kisses my cheek and guess what, when ive been really upset she has pulled me in close and stroked my hair.

A kiss on the lips is bang out of order, but lets not start deciding that all touch is wrong
