Do humans like being petted?

[NoxidKin]

I love to be petted, and hugged, but only when I'm comfortable with the person, and not around my shoulders or neck from behind.

I do like a thorough massage but I need to be in control, I hate someone coming up behind me and touching my shoulders.  Top of my head is fine.

And I pretty much love all hugs all the time.

It's nice to hear people talking about it openly.  :)

And it's a bit sad to me that quite a few people don't like it at all.  I wonder if they would, in a world with different social rules.

But whatever petting regime you prefer, I hope you recieve it.  ^.^
