Sometimes I will get in this mood where I just want to hold a woman/theoretical girlfriend. Nothing particularly sexual, more this heartfelt desire to wrap my arms around her, feel her close, feel like I'm "protecting" her, etc etc. In said mood (luckily, only in said mood) it feels like I'm missing a part of myself and need to hold her to "complete" me.


Woke up this way today and found the pillow will not do.



So my question is, do women sometimes have similar, corresponding needs/desires to be held? Cuddle up and feel their guy protecting them and whatnot. I'm wondering if this is just a neat little emotional way people "go together." Or is this just me, waking up alone on a cold day?
I sure do. As a matter of fact, after reading your post, I'm feeling a bit lonely now too.... longing for that all wrapped-up, warm and safe feeling that comes from the kind of hug you so beautifully described.

I am wondering how (if?) to explain such urges to my match... who--while I am in the Northeast--is on the West Coast but is a couple of days is bound for nearly three weeks of hard-to-contact travel much, much farther west.... . I am beginning to hate long-distance matches. Or maybe just long distances.

(We have communicated about this sort of thing before, but he mentioned it first... )
