was cruisin my tl & this is so fucking important
i think the moment i was disillusioned about life was when i was maybe 7 years old and realized the reason all my friends had become assholes was because boys arenât allowed to have any physcial contact that isnât fighting
my parents were hippie feminists so my brother and i could play clapping games and sleep in puppy piles and give each other weird hairdos, but all the ânormalâ boys just up and stopped knowing how to touch anyone without hitting sometime between kindergarten and first grade
and my little kid mind briefly saw the vastness of life stretching out in front of all of us, and all the hugs everyone would need and not get, and for a moment i was just like
maybe life is not such a good idea after all
I grew up around a Russian ballet school. Let me tell you something about Russian men: They touch each other. Especially dancers, who are in my experience almost always super tactile people. They rough house like Americans, but they also hug each other, and sit on each otherâs laps, and share blankets when itâs cold backstage.
So I grew up knowing full well that the whole Men Donât Touch thing was puritanical bullshit.
What I was absolutely not prepared for, however, is the super intense effect it has on straight menâs romantic relationships.
Because when you are literally the only person it is okay for your boyfriend to touch, Jesus fucking Christ, that changes the game.
I strongly suspect that a lot of Str8 Dude feelings of entitlement to womenâs bodies, particularly the bodies of their wives and girlfriends, is a direct result of those women being the only non-violent physical contact theyâre allowed to have.
I know for certain that the framing of any and all platonic physical contact as un-manly has been directly responsible for a lot of sexual dysfunction (and then the attendant misery of trying to get that treated at the ripe old age of 22) with at least one of my exes. Itâs a mess when you canât get it up because youâre depressed and want to be held but youâve been brainwashed into thinking what you actually want is sex because being held is for girls.
Amazing how the erectile dysfunction went completely away when he learned the difference between feeling horny and feeling cuddly. /sarcasm

Omfg
No wonder the worst of them seem crazy⊠profound isolation does exactly that
When I taught in Japan, the boys were all super comfortable with each other. Theyâd sit on laps and hug and roughhouse and it wasnât seen as bad ? Like it surprised me at first, but then you realize the problem is with so many men feeling that they have to prove⊠something? I dunno. I personally donât like hugs or touches, but that is my own personal reasons and nothing of how I was brought up.
Thank you all for this. Specifically @ferenofnopewood.

Things I never thought ofâŠI couldnât imagine if my husband were the only person I was allowed to touch. As I think on it, that extends to the kids, too. The dudes arenât allowed to really even cuddle their own damned children or nieces and nephews.
Wow.
Also explains why western media romanticizes co-dependency in romantic relationships to such an insane degree.
Makes me think of reactions to the Hobbit Slumber Party at the end of ROTK, and how “homoerotic” it feels/felt. Hmm.
