LOL, I laughed when I read that.
 It's a very good idea.  Talk about vulnerable and intimate <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hi, Ladies.
 It is very hard to hide your reactions to each other, male or female, when you are both naked.
 
 The idea is not novel, however (I wonder if any are). I probably dredged it up from some phantom early 70's memory.
 
 Maybe we can call it "Studies In Intimacy" and make it official therapy <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

We are on Day 13 of no power due to hurricane Katrina.  We have been "nerly nekkid" for 13 days.
 It ain't working!
 
 I DARE him to touch me.  It is too dayum hot!
 
 If we can stay married after this it will be a miracle.   <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Hi, MEL.
 Who is groping, you or him? Is there something you want to talk about? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
 
 We like gropes here. It keeps the intimacy levels up.

Hi, Susan.
 I am sorry you folks are still without power. Our county of 150,000 had 143,972 out at peak. Most people have had power back since early this week.
 
 We are fortunate to have a 60 kilowatt generator with 1,000 gallons of propane. so we can go for about a week and a half without refueling. There has been more than one occasion when we were the only light for miles.
 
 I hope that you at least have water and other facilities.
 
 My heart is broken for Mississippi, parts of Alabama, and LA. We took a direct hit from an F4 tornado a while back. We lost over 200 hardwoods, mostly oak, poplar and hickory. At least there wasn't much left for the remnants of Katrina to blow over. It was still at Cat 1 when it passed us. Here, there is mostly tree and roof damage.
 
 God bless you,
 Gimble

Err, okay, I don't know where this thread started.  But I'll say this:  I really love it when someone is, err, touching things.  A lot.
 
 So, Melody, I'm really, really sorry that you don't derive pleasure from it.

Hi, MEL.
 The "WE" is my wife and I. WE like gropes. WE like intimacy and WE like to have sex.
 
 It is my top emotional need, and my wife and I try our best to take care of each other's needs.
 
 We have sex every day unless there is some difficult circumstance. We enjoy the intimacy and closeness. WE had to work at our relationship to get here, but we have a very satisfying relationship, and that includes sex.
 
 My wife reads here daily, and occasionally posts.
 
 I am sorry that you feel like men are cads. We aren't. Also, I have discovered in my readings, statistically, 43% of women have sex drives higher than that of their spouses or partners. So lots of women like gropes. My wife certainly likes groping and being groped. It's fun.
 
 God bless,
 Gimble

Hey, don't get me wrong, DH and I have a fantastic sex life and are very intimate, but sheeeesh, the groping thing gets to be a bit much sometimes. Just J, don't be sorry, I'm not.

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.

Gimble, I LIKE your kinda gropes!! I get weary of the copping a quick feel type of gropes. My DH is not very adept in the romance department, so sometimes he comes across as juvenile and sophmoric with the constant grabbing. I find it MOST annoying.

Well, my idea of an unwelcome grope is when somebody sneaks up behinds me and cops a feel just as I'm taking a big pan of roast beef out of the oven. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
 A grope (even a sneaky one) is fine when it doesn't put me at risk of burning myself, banging my head against something, or dropping supper onto the floor.  <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
