Readers Respond: Butches, Do You Like to be Touched Sexually?
Responses: 22

By Kathy Belge, About.com

We've had some people wonder if butch lesbians like to be touched sexually. Please weigh in with your experience. If you are butch, state your preference. If you've been with butch partners, have they allowed you to touch them? Share with the World

Being Touched is scary

Gosh, I think it is a trust thing...being touched is very scary, letting go and have an orgasm is very scary and extremely vulnerable. After having been sexually abused, allowing the "extra pounds" I carry in my midsection to protect me, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. Because now I am embarrassed by me body, have a hard time connecting and stay clearly to myself. The paradox is, I want to be touched so bad it hurts. I am skin hungry and lonely. It is a complicated issue.

broken hearted

I've only been with one butch girl and she totally broke my heart. She never let me touch her and our sex life felt incomplete. I'm not a pillow queen I wanted to please her as much as she wanted to please me. I ended the relationship but still think about her daily.

sorry i'm a little shy...virgin?

I'm a futch lesbian meaning I'm deff not femm, but not butch either nothing against the two haha. I'm very personal about my sexual activity because I'm just shy...and I've never been with anyone, not even guys so for the lesbians out there how do I get a girl in bed and when I do...what the hell do I do!

No Boundries

me and me girl (which is a STUD) have an extremely open sexual life. She loves to receive in every way possible and we are still trying out new things. our sex life is great and how comfortable we are makes our relationship so fun and exciting.I think its about a BUTCH and their Ego and the role she plays as "the man"....but even men like to recieve soooo? idk but all butch,ag,studs that are reading this try it out you will feel so much better and it will make ur relationship 115 times better...it did for us Good Night

Butch's being touched.

Ok so I've been with only one stud and she loved to be touched. She loved to please me in bed as she liked it also, I think just as they like giving it they also like to receive it. If your stud feels weird with it just try and work something out with her, and if that don't work out with her, then its just the way she is and you're going to have to accept it.

sex life

There is none unless I ask and who wants that kind of sex? She doesn't like to be touched or have sex. I think at 50 mind you that we should have sex almost daily just to connect, to de-stress, to love. I am so frustrated I cannot tell you. Help someone. Advise me

my gf

alright, well my girlfriend isn't a butch, or whatever, because she doesn't look like a guy completely. she had short hair and doesn't dress girly, but shes definitely not what i'd consider a butch. and well, she lovessss pleasing me and hearing me and everything, but once in a while, she likes the pleasure too. (:

studs [butches] & touching

I have only dated studs thus far and all of them have had no problem with me touching them. although, I do have friends who are the butch type and they rather do all the pleasuring. I believe it all depends on the person and their comfortability with their partner and themselves.

Love it

I'm a stud(butch) andn I love being touched as much as I love pleasing my gurl. I mean we gotta get off 2 right.? .But its all about the connection you have

Stone Butch

I get so far off making my lady happy in bed. That is how I get gratified. I think a lot of sexual gratification is obtained first off in the brain. I love the look, feel, smell of a nice femme. To ME Butch/Butch, well I am not THAT queer. (My opinion remember). I think that women that seek equality with men lack ambition. Born a woman happy for it. Stone to the end. Femmes are tops in my book.

i perfer 2 call a butch an AG or STUD

I have been with an AG (BUTCH) and she did not want to be touched! I think it was her ego and her not wanting to feel as though I was dominating her when dominating me was her role. I think she just didn't want to feel like she was being someone's bitc* when there is clearly nothing girly about her. This doesn't mean that all AG's are this way. I am with another AG and she loves to be touched and she doesn't feel as though her role is being challenged being with her is great!!

Feeling Awkward

I'm not exactly butch, I'm more of an androgynous type, but I absolutely love being touched by someone I know very well. I am autistic, so I generally feel uncomfortable around others, even someone whom I love very much. On the whole, being touched makes me feel appreciated, and I'm sure many others would agree with me about that. I have to add that I prefer to do the touching, but that seems selfish and I try to allow my fave to have a feel too.

I think its about the chemistry.

I am a butch and I love to be touched by my partner as much as I love touching her. I think it is all about chemistry between the two people -- If you have it, you have it and both people should enjoy touching and pleasuring eachother.

Hmm

Ok I am currently with a girl you'd class as butch and I'm having the problem she only wants to touch me; we're early in our relationship so I'm hoping that can change because I like to dominate and feel a bit like a toy right now : (
