Ladies: is a guy who is "touchy-feely" a turn-on or turn-off for you?

I'm talking here, about a guy who freely express his emotions, likes to hug or kiss you a lot, and be overtly affectionate...stuff like that. "Touchy-feely", in a PG-rated way (I'm *not* talking about anything beyond a PG-13 rating at most here, when I say "touchy-feely" )

Thoughts?

ETA: meant, in the example context of a guy, who is hypothetically romantically attracted to you.

As long as it's my husband? Turn on. Anyone else? Pervy.

I enjoy a guy who's touchy-feely in an above PG-13 way. Constant non-sexual contact is not my cup of tea. Tends to annoy me.

NO! A definite turn-off. To me, being too touchy-feely is creepy. Like maybe he is the controlling type, or he is they type that is so insecure he must feel that he must be on me 24/7 so I won't leave.

Lol...perhaps maybe, he just wants to be affectionate with you, or that he cares about you and wants to show it?

Why the automatic assumption, that he would have a negative or base motivation, for doing so?

Hm, maybe I should have written it more clearly. What I had written above is for people who are just meeting/dating for a short time. If it was a long term relationship, then that's different.

I went on a date with a guy who would always try to touch my hand/arm/hair etc. He would always hug. It was so suffocating, and it was obvious that he was just being perverted. I left him quick.

Off. Off, off, off, off, off.

The occasional touch on the shoulder or back, fine, but I don't like anyone hanging on me, even my SO.

Vote "No" on the touchy-feely-cuddly thing.
