Do you like receiving affection? What are your thoughts?

I think that another option would be helpful:
I like receiving affection to an extent, especially in public. For whatever reason, I am extremely self-conscious. I feel very "on the spot" when affection is shown in public. Especially if the attention is very eye-catching. I don't like trying to put on a show for others. Makes me paranoid that the affection isn't reality, and instead simply a way of catching other people's eye. That's my reasoning.

I voted sure, though I don't like receiving attention and affection from strangers. My husband's affections are welcome anytime as they don't happen often.

Sounds a little to black and white for me. I like it but only at certain times. Most of the year I am busy with research and school work and the last thing I want after running around like a chicken with my head cut off for 10 hours that day is to be touched. However, it's nice when my bf asks me to come sit by him or hold my hand or something.

I love affection with my boyfriend. He tries to hug me and hold me and always hold my hand no matter where we are. We always share the recliner as opposed to sitting on two different chairs... It's gotten a little less lately but he's still rather effectionate and I love it. But I do have the moods, maybe it's the bipolar the docs say I have. When I'm in work mode or when I'm hyped up or amped up or angry... I'd rather have my personal space. But once he and I are wound down and in the comfort of our own home relaxing, I love any kind of effection
