Support/Vent Touch Starved

I can deal with solitude pretty easily, but this touch starvation is brutal.

Im choosing to not date for now (and yes, it is a choice) and will not be getting pets as it is not a good time for that at present.

My friends are scattered all over multiple states and life, work, etc has resulted in relocation.

What do yall do?

Edit to clarify- this is not a sex thing.

Or even a chair massage, getting your neck, shoulders & upper neck massaged is so deluxe!!

The place I get my pedicures have massage chairs so you can really lean back and relax!

I’ve seen this happen before during pedicures and the staff treat it as no big deal. One place I went offered cozy blankets during the winter time. You can bet about half their clients were asleep in those comfy chairs lol

I think one of the like pad things may even be helpful to just keep around. Thank you!
