there are some people who loving freak out if you touch them without asking - even if you're close friends. I watched a man scream at someone on a bus today because the random dude he was sitting next to accidentally brushed his hand against him.

Then there are touchy feely people who will put a hand on your shoulder while pointing something out to you or whatever and not even think about it.

anyway, people who hate being touched are weirdos. :colbert:

"more than just a friendly way" is the point though. That implies that some level of touching is a normal thing.

Aversion to touch is a trait of autism OP, probably not a good idea to make fun of people like that.

I dont think he really made fun

as for me and my autism, when I have sex (every fourth harvest moon) I will hover over my partner and make noises as a mix of discomfort and pleasure like "ewwwww yeahhh"

In my lifetime i've seen the handshake turn into a high five and the high five turn into a fist bump. That no-touch high five thing in Demolition Man was probably an accurate prediction of the near future.

I'm guessing back in the 1800s guys wanked each other off every time something nice happened

I don't really like being touched very much...not really sure why but I've tried in recent years to break the habit. Now I don't cringe when people who I don't know well hug me. It's okay.

What about that thing where you slap hands together like a half-handshake and then pull towards each other and then bump shoulders, I hate that, is there a manual for this maneuver somewhere or what

Ah, OK. I just thought broadly calling people like that weirdos wasn't a good call.

I don't have autism but I also don't like to be touched by people I don't know. I don't think anyone does. Getting brushed against is a simple fact of life, but the hand on shoulder thing is drat annoying and usually the people who do it are creepy in other ways.

Is it normal and expected for them to start jerking you off as a part of the routine idk it seemed kinda weird but I don't wanna be the weirdo who don't know how to do the thing :shrug:

Cheek kissing in European countries somehow feels to me way more acceptable that the hand on shoulder thing. If you touch my shoulder you probably want to sell me something please don't.

The hand on the shoulder thing is a total flex. It feels weird because someone is patronizing you when they do it.

That hand on should thing always seemed like a power move to me, like they are controlling your body from movement. I dont really mind being touched but that kind of stuff makes me wary of a person.

Oh man, combo moves are super ridiculous. Guys who do any 2+ slap sequence probably rented a dance studio for a couple of days and really honed that poo poo. They're not cool. They're gesture nerds.

handshake -> Shoulder bump isn’t a combo move as you’re thinking of.

This is a Brazilian thing I think, or certainly exists in all BJJ gyms. This, combined with the Brazilian custom of shaking hands with everyone in the room when you arrive and leave makes for some really inefficiencies.
