It's a good start captain jack, but I'd like to see a bit more substance.

I'm not very touchy even with my friends, and kino is something that I really, really need to work on. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that it is probably the biggest thing I need to work on and with some improvement there I'd be pretty much at a level I'm happy with.

So rather than being told that I need to kino, it would be good to see some examples of what to do and when to do them. I know I can probably get this information from elsewhere on this site, and the escalation ladder that charblad links to is useful in that respect, but if you're doing a big old thread on it, then that would be where I think you should take it next.

Maybe a sort of beginners guide to how to become that touchy feely guy? I mean even with just my friends, I'm not overly touchy. If we're sitting next to each other in the pub our legs can be touching and we're fine, but we're not the sort of high 5, slapping each other on the back, play fighting/pushing each other around sort of friendship group really. So how do you work your way up from being like that, to actually touching people comfortably? Practice, yes, maybe, but it would be good to have some ideas of what to practice rather than just "you NEED to touch her or you won't build sexual attraction".

(Just to make clear - this isn't a criticism of your posts so far, I like them, it's just a request/bit of advice on where to take the thread next! I look forward to seeing your response!)
