How intimate do you consider touching someone's face? To me it's incredibly intimate - reserved for lovers/close friends only, but others disagree. And for the record, I'm not talking about wiping peanut butter off someone's face here!;)
What do you all think? How does it rate on the 'intimacy scale?':)

For me, personally, I agree with you...the romantic way of touching someone's face can be very...how do i put it. Stirring to me. It really does depend on the subject though. [ cheap_thrills's advice column | Ask cheap_thrills A Question ]

All kidding aside... I'd say that to touch another's face is an intimate act. The face is a vulnerable area (the eyes are probably THE most vulnerable spot we have, being essentially a pair of holes that lead straight to the brain). Therefore, when we allow someone into that area, we are showing trust and expect that trust be be rewarded with affection. [ Xenolan's advice column | Ask Xenolan A Question ]
ScratchesOnTheWall answered Tuesday September 12 2006, 9:32 am: Yeah it's pretty intimate but depends on the way you touch someone. It can just be playful, but I'd say definately always affectionate to some degree. I wouldn't do it to anyone I wasn't at least fond of.
** In which case it totally depends on the manner of touch- lingering and looking in her eyes, hell yeah, that's intimate. Chucking her chin/laughing or the like may be excusable. To be honest you've gota go with your instincts and your judgement of him as a person on this one. If it crosses your personal boundaries as to what's acceptable in a relationship then he should respect that or not be with you.

Exquisitechick answered Tuesday September 12 2006, 7:39 am: To me, i consider it very intimate. Most of the time i think it is what makes a kiss intimate. I love when guys touch my face while they're kissing me, it makes me feel like they really care. But, yeah i totally agree with you. Face touching is intimate :D [ Exquisitechick's advice column | Ask Exquisitechick A Question ]
