What if you could never again......?

Question

....... touch another human being.

How would you express intmacy, love, or comfort someone without touch?

Would you sirvive?

Answer 1

Smile and give soothing words to the person.

I don't hug much.

Answer 2

Absolutely, I would survive.  I'm doing it.

Answer 3

maybe

Answer 4

I'd probably learn to adapt, focus on verbal or sign gestures. It would be extremely hard though. Great question.

Answer 5

My Eyes Have Always Done Most of My

Talking for Me.

So I Would Hope They Continued To Show the True Compassion and Overwhelming Love

That I Feel!

Answer 6

Words can cut to the heart of a human being without a single stroke landing upon human flesh.  I would most certainly survive.  The pain, irony, happiness and passion behind words can move mountains much less people.  Music also would become an important tool in expressing things.

Answer 7

A person could adapt. The human race could even adapt. We have test tube babies and so forth. Wouldn't be fun or so loving though.

All you people that liked the question, give the girl a star, why don't ya?

Answer 9

Answer 10

Thats a curious question.

I think i would live a very miserable life, but i would find something to keep me going. like becoming a public speaker or being a politician or something. i would probably do dangerous things that no one else would want to do, because without intimacy+love i don't think i would have much to keep me sane other then searching for another reason to live.

Answer 11

great question... i don't think I could. I think it would be a very sad world

Answer 12

Of course I would survive (spelled with a "u", not an "i") and eventually adapt.

I might not enjoy some aspects of life in the same way or to the same degree, but I have very little trouble expressing myself with or without physical contact.

I have always been good with words, but beyond just words, actions of thoughtfullness and consideration carry enormous weight.  Little things like making sure there is always a hot, fresh cup of coffee on the end table beside my guy's favorite chair, adding his favorite peppers to an omelet to surprise him when he thinks we don't have any, buying a funny greeting card for him when there is no special occasion at all - the possibilities are endless.  

And he does the same for me!  Things like him getting out of bed with me every morning, staying up with me while I eat breakfast and get dressed, and then going outside, waving and throwing me a kiss goodbye when I crank up the van and head for work.  (Not at all like life with my late husband, who used to stay in bed and I would have to tiptoe around a cold, dark lonely house in the mornings trying not to wake anyone else before I left for work.)

These things all say "I love you" and "I treasure and value our relationship" in and of themselves.  

If one means of interaction is cut off, we humans have so many others we can rely on, that lack of communication should never even exist as a human problem.

Answer 13

I'd be alive, but I wouldn't be living.

If that were the case, I'd off myself, most likely.

Answer 14

OK s*x is a need not a want animals kill other animals just to mate
