Either way, I get this sensation in my back (regardless of where she touches me) that's sort of tingling, almost a sort of ache but a BEAUTIFUL one, sort of like when someone tickles you, sort of tingly. And for HOURS afterwards, every time I think of her and of her touch I get this electric feeling coursing through me again. It's so hard to describe. I just wonder how you all would put it, out of pure curiosity. :) Reply to this Question

 When two human beings come into contact with one another, there is a magnetism, a chemical reaction, and hormonal exchange. Sometimes that magnetism repulses, sometimes it attracts.When my wife touches my arm or hand or shoulder casually, in private or public, usually it is the combination of warmth and tenderness which stimulates my hormones. Body heat plays into it a lot. In a committed relationship, our minds and bodies become accustomed to the electric charge of our significant other. We tune in to their presence, their warmth, and the sensation of having them nearby.At night, beneath the covers, when our feet come into contact with one another, our legs or a hand, the familiar warmth and electrical-hormonal connection stimulates the pleasure center of my brain. Even when we are angry with each other, that familiarity of touch means more than any rivalry or disagreement.The sensation is similar to the subtle tickle when you rub your hands together lightly (try it) but with the pleasure of familiar trust and companionship. When you hold a pet close to your chest and give it a hug, breathing in the warmth and fur and lovely kindness of companionship - that is similar.When my wife is in a good mood and puts her hand in mine or lays her head on my shoulder, it is a reinforcement of our connection.What you describe has something to do with the fact that every inch of human skin is normally covered in tiny, almost invisible hairs. Your face, back, and neck all have tiny transparent hairs. When a hand or finger comes close to your skin without touching, the body heat from the other person and the hairs on your skin react to one another. The pleasure of this sensation can remain in your memory for hours, days, or even years. This is normal and part of what makes us human.

 My husband travels a lot with his work, so when we finally are together--it's magic!
Just seeing him makes my heart flutter. I know this sounds silly, but I understand what you mean! When he touches me, not necessarily sexually, but when he holds my hand or kisses my cheek--it's magical. I get butterflies in my tummy and I think about wanting to have his children, just as an excuse to get him to bed.
Then...he opens his mouth to speak--and I realize he's no Edward Cullen. It's at that moment that I wish I could throw him back on a plane all for a chance at a do-over. lol!
