Hi, Mel.

Well, I probably should have defined 'gropes'. A grope is a touch or caress that is occasionally very intimate, but appropriate to the couple's level of intimacy.

Passionate kisses with your hands on each others parts, that kind of thing.

Nibbling wife's neck from behind, she leans back into me while hands wander.

Washing each other in the shower.

The occasional hug with parts pressed tightly together.

So, I am talking about appropriate intimate gropes, not copping feels from someone that doesn't want to be felt. A grope to an intimate couple might not be appropriate to a couple with less intimacy.

So, I guess that one man's grope is another man's offense.

Welp....it's a good thing you 'xplaned' it. LOL!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> The mental pixes from the other posts were making me woozy. Gropes sounds 2 2 much like ropes which sound too restrictive unless u r into that sort of thing. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

In truth once being nekkid leads to SF, being nekked loses its allure IME. Wandering around sweaty and reeking of SF isn't a big turn on for Squid or I ! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Unles more SF comes around !

Hi to all,

I had to jump on this fun thread.....use to hate groping, use to hate sex, use to be indiffent to h.....h had an A and I almost don't blame him, but only almost. I did some serious time with God and h is back, we're doing great (still a lot of pain, but normal) and he can grope me all he wants, I discovered hysterical sex and groping are quite exhillerating when you know what you're fighting for. Today feels good who knows about tomorrow. Tunk <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I agree. It has been nice "re-discovering" my H. I find myself wanting SF more and more. And, I am enjoying the extra "personal" attention to my SF needs, plus the variety. I am always curious to see what will pop up--LOL <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I used to hate groping as well by my H. But now that I have a better understaning of myself and the MB principles ... I feel like I want it more and more.

Now if only I could get it.

I am in for the cold shower.

Any of Gimbles suggestions sound like a heaven sent right about today. Can I make up the man doing the groping though? The thought of WH touching me naked makes me ill.

I consider what Gimble desribed 'sexual loving touches'
Gropes are when your walking by your H running to get the phone and he grabs your boob on the way and irritates the heck out of you.
