In our society most men display little affection, while most women display quite a bit. Gay men probably show more affection than straight men. Though CDs are mostly straight, I think we're much more willing to display affection publicly too. Am I right?
Women are more comfortable hugging and kissing each other, or dancing with, or just touching, each other. Are we as well? Are CDs willing to hug and kiss, touch, or dance together? I suppose this is more true of younger CDs. I hope they will respond to this too.
Since I haven't met any CDs in person yet, I don't know if I'm right. I just have the impression that I'd be comfortable showing affection with CDs (et al). I tend to think of CDs as women, or womanly, and I seem to feel it's socially acceptable to act womanly as CDs. It's not just dressing that makes it socially acceptable, because I do know straight men who act womanly (affectionate etc) in male mode (who don't seem to be CDs).
The problem with affection is that it's no fun to give it if it's not wanted, and it's hard to tell sometimes if it might be wanted. Did you ever ask someone "Want a hug?" and they reply "Hell no, you pervert; take a hike"?
P.S. I suppose I should've asked also if CDs are more emotional or sensitive than most men. Should I have asked that?
(Hell no, you pervert ...)
