Poll: Give Me Your Body Or At Least A Part Of It
ByI have been fruitlessly searching for a piece of research I read once (about 15 years ago) that states when you break up with someone and miss them, it’s not necessarily that your miss the person. But, rather you miss their body. You are used to having regularly snuggle and cuddle time. And, when you break up, you go through body withdrawal.
A girlfriend of mine – during a long spell of no-dating – once said to me about her longing for someone, “I just want to bury my face in a guy’s neck.”
I understand this desire. I have this regularly. Oh, about every other day.
I turn to husband and bury my face under his chin. His reply usually is What. Are. You. DOING?
It’s neck time, I reply, batting my eyelashes.
As you can guess, he takes this as a much larger overture than I mean for it to be. I sincerely just want my face in his neck. He wants my face, well, elsewhere.
So, want to take our poll?
What body part, of your significant other, lover, partner, husband or wife, would you miss the most if it was no longer available to you? No sex organs, please. We’re “PG-ing” it here.

This was a tough one because when I think of my husband I think of his amzing smile but if I stop to think about the question you posed, I had to answer his hands because just the touch of his hand can do so much for me. If I am happy and he holds my hand with his, I’m doubly happy. If I’m upset, just the touch of his hand is reassuring and can calm me. When I am looking for answers, just the touch of his hand let’s me know I’m not alone and he will help me to find the answers. When I’m tired, just the touch of his hand let’s me know he is there, and I can rest knowing he is there for me and will protect me. There are so many things just the touch of his hand does for me.
