Do you like kissing/hugging/non-sexual romantic contact?

Most of the people in my life know I dont like my personal body space being violated at all, never mind hugging, kissing, etc. Although I did find myself in a situation recently where I had to shake someones hand, that wasn't so bad.

Never grab my shoulder though, especially if your behind me, Ive always taken that as a sign od aggression for some reason :/.

I detest pretty much all forms of touching, especially with anything that has implied romantic value. I don't do "romance."

A few different occasions, I've had girls considered attractive get a bit touchy with me, and every time I'm like, "uh, can you not do that...?" And they think I'm nuts, haha. But meh, I'm big on personal space. Very big. Basically, nobody touches me unless the circumstance clearly dictates otherwise, which doesn't happen all that often....

No, I hate it. Kisses on the cheek or on the lips are disgusting in particular...I don't care what anyone else thinks.

Yes, for a start they can lead to sex

Can't a fist bump do that instead?

Yes, if you meet the right people.

Not forgetting the "what part of them were you intending to bump" part

Haha I don't know if "right" is the right word here!

I really dislike hugging. I can't think of anything more awkward for a schizoid.

Kissing I don't mind so much, although by kissing I mean making out with a stranger, drunk, while dancing -- although skill level factors into my enjoyment greatly. Pecks on the cheek from family members really might as well be hugs.

Anything else in the way of physical contact makes me feel ill though.

I know. The stepfam is Italian so I have to suffer twice.

Mostly no. Especially not with family. There are a couple rare exceptions. I find certain other kinds of non-romantic contact appealing.
