Is it normal that i want to do this, even though i have a boyfriend?

My boyfriend and I are in love, no question about it. There isn't even a shred of doubt in my mind that I love him, or that he loves me - so please no "you obviously don't love him" comments.

The thing is, there's this guy, we'll call him Ben. Ben and I aren't exactly friends, but we chat every so often about music and photography, and things that we're into. Lately our conversations have turned towards more graphic photography. I don't want to cheat on my boyfriend, I don't want to kiss/have sex with Ben. I just want to lay naked with him, feel the skin to skin contact, have a deeper connection. I'm not romantically/physically/sexually interested in him, you know? I've tried laying naked with my boyfriend (no sex, foreplay, kissing, etc.), but I wasn't satisfied the way I feel I would be if I could just lay naked with Ben and talk about the world.

I get it, I'm a bad girlfriend, etc.
But is it normal to want to lay naked with another man in a nonsexual way?

    You mention in your post how much you love your boyfriend, warn everyone against commenting "you obviously don't love him", yet in the same breath tell us you want to expose your body to another male other than your boyfriend?

    Look, if you already suspected you might be told you obviously don't love your boyfriend, then you already know the answer. The fact that you even thought to mention to us we shouldn't say that, means you know its true.

    I feel bad for your unsuspecting boyfriend that his girlfriend is plotting to do something this innapropriate behind his back. I'm probably going to get a whole bunch of liberal "to each their own" types jump down my throat for this, hell, I may even be reported and banned from this site, but I feel telling you off is worth it.

    And you know what? I blame you. I blame you for every guy that's been turned into a untrusting, suspicious asshole because of girls like you who give all females a bad name. I blame you for guys who disrespect girls and treat them like objects, because you treat yourself like an object so why shouldn't they do the same to us girls?

    Seriously, I fucking blame you. How can you for one second, think of doing that to someone you love. You are obviously extremely young and immature and have no idea how to control your emotions, and therefore should be nowhere near anything resembling a romantic relationship.

    • No, you're misunderstanding. I am into my boyfriend, sexually, emotionally, he's the most amazing man I know. I just want to feel a skin to skin, deeper connection with another person. No sex, no sexual touching, just that skin to skin contact.

      I wouldn't actually do this, I know that it would be harmful to my relationship, and it's not worth it to ruin something so wonderful. I just want to know, is it normal to want to feel that contact with another person?

    You're in denial about the fact that you're probably not compatible with your boyfriend and you're infatuated with this other dude. Meh.

    Youre probably making excuses in your head so you feel less guilty, if not then idk.. would you like it if your boyfriend laid with another girl naked? and just felt each other up a bit?

    Ask him, and if he isn't cool with it I'd and many others would understand why. If he is cool with it then lucky you!

    But doing this behind his back isn't right I don't think, and if he found out it would probably hurt him.

    Just cause it's not sex doesn't mean it isn't cheating. If u are getting something from interloper A that you are missing from BF B and not telling him.... It's still cheating. Don't fool yourself just because you aren't letting him in u.

    So you think that just because there would be no kissing or sexual touching involved, that its not considered cheating. Shame on you, seriously.

    How would you feel if you walked in on your boyfriend laying naked with another girl? Answer this question.

    If he told you, "I love you, I'm into you, nothing sexual happened with this girl", would you drop it and forget about it or be okay with it? Answer that one.

    Laying naked with someone, IS sexual, whether you like to think so or not. You know, sluts always justify their actions by saying "it wasn't so bad", and "it didn't mean anything" but GOOD GOD, if some skanky ass bitch wanted to have "non sexual skin to skin contact" with my boyfriend, I would surgically remover her kidney.

    I hope for your sake this guy doesn't have a girlfriend, because she's going to skin you alive. Enjoy being a skank.

    I think hat you 1st need to be 100% honest with yourself and all others. Stand naked before ALL of Creation without (fear) and completely unashamed PERIOD If you can do THAT then you are GORGEOUS and completely free. Find that guy who can SEE YOU and refuses to live without your very special brand of gorgeous. He won't be hard to find because he like you will be standing there next to you naked, free, and completely unafraid! Men like this do exist and I KNOW because I AM "One" of them! If your partner doesn't want the true YOU then hes the wrong "One"! Love to you all! Your ALL ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS! Please SEE THAT!

    Smh. Why don't you go ahead and ask your bf how he feels about it?

    it seems this relationship has lost its spark. it happens, it doesn't make you bad, but it does make people ask questions, or just label you.

    this Ben guy, hes new to you, he probably even likes things your bf doesn't. hes different from your bf. and you want to experience Ben without actually having sex or making out. but see, its only a fantasy. we can't control our fantasies, you are not alone in fantasizing something you know you really wouldn't do but the idea of it is intriguing. its not fun to do it with your bf because you already know him and seen him naked before. hes not a stranger to you. so it seems to be pointless and have no desire to like doing that with your bf because hes no longer new.

    besides, everyone is different, this Ben guy probably has a different aura about him, a different vibe. makes you want to connect with it. something you feel or just know.

    • Thank you, thank you for not jumping down my throat on this one.

      I wouldn't actually do this with Ben, just to make myself clear. It's like you said, I just fantasize about it. I'm sure everyone fantasizes about another person every once in awhile.

      The only thing you've got incorrect here is that my relationship hasn't lost it's spark. I'm still madly into him in every possible way. But I want to feel my mind and body exposed to someone in a nonsexual way, I know my boyfriend looks at me sexually (thats one of the things I like about him).

        It's ok to feel more then one spark! One spark has nothing to do with the other although we rarely see that in my opinion. All of you wants to be satisfied and you have identified an area where this Ben maybe could but your bf can't and that too is ok! What you desire with Ben hasn't tarnished your feelings for your bf I get it.

        my apologizes for assuming about the lost spark. you're welcome. and its true, everyone fantasizes about someone. if they said they didn't they be lying.

        some people who know that as the truth its easier to cover up and judge others, than to look inside yourself and admit it and let the person know that its okay and that they are not alone.

        i think everything will be okay. just give it some time. fantasies do die down after a while.
