I think of it like I am a cat. I do not like certain people touching me at all, for the most part I do not like physical touch from people because it is unwarranted and I don’t feel comfortable with them. With the boyfriend I am close and comfortable enough to perch on his shoulder like a parrot. I know he is clean, i know he is trustworthy, I love him. Thats why I would be happy living as a leech on his forearm instead of any other human :)
