i need to be railed so hard that my mind empties for a few seconds, so i don’t have to think about school or any of my problems. i also need to be held and soothed afterwards.

i’m so touch deprived you don’t understand. i need hugs, i need cuddles, i need someone to to run their fingers through my hair, or cup their hands into my cheeks, i need someone to rub their thumb against my skin while holding hands, i need someone to spoon me, i need someone to let me rest on their shoulder, or arms, or chest. i need someone who can make me jump by hugging me from my back. i love physical touch, and these sweet audios in tiktok aren’t helping. it’s just really happy to have a crush or be in love with someone, but i already have moved on from my last crush. it’s peaceful to be in your crushless era, but the feeling of excitement when you think of someone you like is different. i need a girl, or maybe a boy, but it’s hard to find a decent man, so maybe a girl. no, i don’t need a relationship yet, but i just need a kind of love that i give to someone when i love. i wanna be loved the same way i do.

looking at a picture of hozier with his shirt unbuttoned got me feeling like a victorian man seeing a woman’s ankles for the first time

hi! could you maybe do cuddling with the triplets for the first time?

Finally

𝔭𝔞𝔦𝔯𝔦𝔫𝔤 - Chris x fem!reader

𝔰𝔲𝔪𝔪𝔞𝔯𝔶 - after hating touch your whole life, you realize it’s not bad. With the right person :)

𝔴𝔞𝔯𝔫𝔦𝔫𝔤𝔰 - mentions of SA, I think that’s it? (Not proofread)

Although both coming from good family’s, y/n and the triplets grew up very differently. The triplets grew up with siblings and parents that they could rely on when they needed to be held, or touched. Y/n on the other hand grew up with a single mother who was a very good parent but hated touch. Her mother was SA’d with the result of her birth, so throughout childhood, the lack of touch taught y/n that she didn’t need nor want it.

Y/n and Chris had been dating for 6 months and only shared quick kisses and short hugs. Although Chris wanted more physical touch with his girlfriend, he knew she wasn’t totally comfortable with it and respected that.

Y/n was laying opposite of Chris on his bed, mindlessly scrolling through instagram. She glanced over at Chris, admiring his sharp features and messy brown hair. She yearned for something, but she couldn’t quite pinpoint what she wanted.

She felt something, something that surprised even herself. She wanted to be close with Chris. She wanted to feel his body close to her, she wanted to feel his touch.

Looking up at Chris once more, y/n scooted her body, inching towards her loving boyfriend. Chris looked up surprised at how close she was getting to him. Typically, she would sit as far as possible ignoring Chris’s subtle signs of wanting to be close but no, not tonight.

Once getting close enough, y/n nervously asks “can we cuddle?” Completely taking Chris by surprise.

Chris smiled, happy that his girlfriend finally felt comfortable enough to want him close. “You never have to ask to cuddle with me ya goof” he says, his smile not faltering.

Chris gently wrapped his arms around y/n, pulling her back to his chest so they were in the spooning position. His warm hands rested on her stomach, sending millions of little butterflies through it. Y/n felt so safe, so comfortable that she quickly fell asleep in his arms.

Burying his face in her hair, Chris peacefully fell asleep, finally holding the love of his life in his arms.

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

I wasn’t sure how to make a scenario where y/n was cuddling with all 3 of them so I made it about Chris. I hope that’s ok with you! This was very fun to write please send more requests! <3

i crave it. i crave it so badly, it's almost disgusting.

it's a constant need in the back of my mind that just won't go away.

like an itch i can't scratch.

the need to be touched. to be held.

not even just in a romantic way, just in a way that makes me feel cared for.

the need to be hugged by someone, anyone.

not a quick one that ends in less than a second, where you can tell it's done out of habit or obligation.

but one where you both put your weight on each other, where you can feel the love and care radiating from one another.

i crave it so badly it's painful.

-------------

i hate it. i hate it so fucking much. it makes me feel disgusted.

a constant fear in the back of my mind. i'm terrified of it.

i don't wanna be touched, i don't want anyone near me.

the thought of another human beings skin touching mine makes me uneasy.

i don't need or want the comfort another person has to give.

if i want comfort i'll do it myself, as i've always done.

all i've ever gained from the touch of another is pain and suffering.

sadness that made my soul shatter into a million pieces.

-------------

i am so touch starved, so deprived of it. simultaneously i am so repulsed by it.

i don't know which one i prefer.

to be hugged and told i am cared for.

or to never feel the touch of someone ever again.

I am ravenous for the taste of your skin against mine. For your hands in my hair and mine on your waist. I long to drown in the sea of your love, to be filled with the warmth of your touch ... I am so deprived of contact from another that at every waking second, all I can think about is you.

“The feminine urge to not be like my mother” sadly you’re a replica of her.

[pr-incess21]

The thought of someone gently tracing shapes on my back, their soft and slow fingertips just barley gazing my skin>>>

constantly thinking about how badly i need to be railed by a loving, sweet guy. (i’ve never never even been kissed.)

Touch-Starvation flag (+ info).

So, we decided to coin a flag for people who have struggled with touch-starvation.

(If you don't know what touch-starvation is, read ahead.)

The shades of blue represent the negative side-effects touch starvation can cause, both physically and mentally.

The shades of brown/tan represent how all races can suffer from this experience, and also represent the body's need for skin-to-skin contact.

White represents people with albinism (to go along with the rest of the racial coloration), finding community/peace, and hope.

The pink heart represents those that are touch-seeking. The grey heart represents those that are touch-avoidant. The hearts overlapping represent how people can be fluid between touch-seeking and touch-avoidance.

What is touch starvation?

Touch-starvation, also known as Touch-Deprivation or Skin Hunger, is a physical/psychological response that a person's body has when they have received very little physical touch in recent times. For example, a person that has not been touched in a month may begin to feel touch-starved. Touch-starvation can happen to anyone, even those that are touch-repulsed.

Emotional symptoms of touch-starvation include loneliness, anxiety, depression, self-consciousness/insecurity, and desperation.

Physical symptoms of touch-starvation include difficulty sleeping, fatigue/exhaustion, skin irritation, sensitivity to touch, muscle tension, breathing difficulties, and high blood pressure. Long-term touch starvation can weaken the immune system, leaving the person at a higher risk of getting sick.

People that are touch-starved may indulge in activities such as taking long warm baths/showers, cuddling with blankets/pillows/plushes, and holding pets in an attempt to satisfy their starvation.

If someone has been touch-starved for a long time, they may develop these symptoms permanently or have them for years ahead, even if they begin to receive the proper amount of affection.

Touch-starvation is traumatic, and can cause someone to develop mood disorders, anxiety disorders, and trauma disorders. There are cases of people developing PTSD from touch-starvation alone.

Touch-starved people can become touch-seeking (meaning they desperately attempt to find someone/something to touch them), touch-avoidant (meaning they find touch to be too overwhelming due to being starved of it, and avoid it as a result), or be fluid between both.

Touch-starvation is prevalent in AMAB people within Western societies (and societies that have been influenced by Western culture or coincidentally have similar toxic values.) This is due to three main reasons, of which overlap:

-Queerphobia. Homophobia and monosexism lead to men being shamed for being affectionate with other men. -Amatonormativity (and often heteronormativity, if it is a feminine-gender they are interacting with.) Men are assumed to be romantically or sexually interested in someone if they show physical affection, even if it is purely platonic or familial. This is due to men being stereotyped and treated as purely-sexual beings, who only desires sexual touch, and nothing else. -Toxic-Masculinity/Misogyny. Men are told that they are weak if they express softer emotions or suffering. They are shamed if they do not "tough out" the things that are affecting their health.

In conclusion; we as a society need to normalize touch (with consent!) for people of all genders, sexes, and orientations.

I hate being touch deprived. It feels so empty. It feels like there's an empty space in between my arms. I need to hold someone who will give equally returned love.

I think yellow is my color

[livingisboring]

I need someone to hold me so tight and to mean their actions toward me. I want someone's love, and an honest one.

Do you want to play with my breasts? They’re fun-sized. Perfect for kneading and squishing. Pulling on my nipples until I’m a writhing mess completely enthralled and controlled by you. You are my controller. Come claim me.
