I thought "hug groups" were a thing now? "Cuddle sessions"? Not sure what they call them, as I don't swing that way, LOL. I do remember when I was in a solid long-term and very affectionate relationship remarking to my partner how lucky we were to have each other (as we showered together one night), as there are many people out there all alone with no one to scrub their backs, hold their hands, give them a hug, much less have sex with; now I'm that person! Maybe buy massages.

Oh, OP, you're looking for romantic touch, I don't miss that at all.
Physical touching with friends, family is enough for me. If I'm longing for touch, I give my 93 yr old Dad an extra big hug. I hug my friends and brother and Dad.
My daughter is coming end of March from CA and I will get enough hugs and touch to last me till next time. 3 cats is also comforting, till they get tired of it and bite me
I(F) have been single for a while now, and overall I'm happy with my life. But I've been missing the physical touch that comes with being in a relationship (especially at night when i'm alone in my bed). I used to date a girl with whom I was very affectionate, and I really enjoyed the cuddles and the feeling of holding her in my arms.
The thing is, I'm not a big fan of physical touch coming from people in a non-romantic or a casual context. I don't like hugs from friends or family. It just doesn't feel the same as when it comes from a romantic partner I share an emotional connection with.
So my question is, how do you cope with the lack of physical touch when you're single? I realize it's probably the downside of being single or not into casual hookups/ONS.
Well, a few things. First of all, I don't and it drives me insane wanting that and realizing that I can't have it (the dating world is not there for me) so hence I have to employ other measures to compensate for it.
Like being angelic, being so outgoing to those I meet, being nice, and such. At home, when I am away from people, being more with my cats......and when I am out in nature, with the wildlife, each in their own ways.
BUT, there is a very big factor to all this compensation and that it takes a heck of a lot of time. To achieve some level of calm to what most people see as granted, it takes a lot of time.
Well..... So, physical touch can be lacking even in a marriage. Couples age. Wifey here has no interest in sex anymore. Even without actual sex, we do touch, but the sex provided such intimacy. Words cannot describe it. We all know that. The physical touch is nice, but some of this has to do with culture, religion and upbringing: is intercourse the only legitimate way of enjoying sex? She seems to think so.
"There was a time when
you let me know
What's really going on, below.
But now, you never even show it to me, do ya?
Now remember when I moved in you, and the Holy Dove,
She was moving too,
And every breath that we drew was:
Hallelujah?"
A massage obviously. Worth the money for a good one. Check them out
