My family was not a touchy-feely family. I have been very aware of this and tried hard to show my children love with touches rather than just FEED them! My grandma won't say she loves me or hug me, but she'll cook for a week before you get there!!!
I tend to want to mother men. (From always desiring my dad's love and not feeling it?) It seems like each time we've had friends who have divorced, I end up becoming the mom (to the man) they depend on until they start to date again. Nothing physical, just conversations and feeding them.
I LOVE backrubs too! That's how my mom always put my brother and I to sleep when we were little. Fortunately my husband is very accomadating. One of the most luxurious feelings in the world to me is to have him run his fingers over my back until after I fall asleep. I wake up feeling like the cat that stole all the cream!
There's a very interesting book (I'll have to remember the title and let you know) about your ancestors' culture and the way you relate to others. For example, my family originated in Ireland and we don't touch. Look at the way the Irish dance. Hands and arms straight down at their sides. It was kind of eerie to read and see these things in people I know!
