Hey, I've been away.
I suppose intimacy comes in all shapes and sizes. Since physical touch was something we weren't good at back then, it is touch that does it for me.
I can remember a 70's demo when we all linked arms and sat on the road waiting for the cops to drag us off. That is comradeship I suppose, contrasted unfavourably sometimes to friendship (didn't have much of that either), but I found the feeling of being held and needed by someone else (especially a man, with which sex, I might say, I had no touch for 20 years except for punishment, such is the making of a man) so unguarded that it was intoxicating.
