There is power in touch -- especially, it seems, among men with same-sex attraction. How do we healthily receive, give, and manage physical touch?

Tom and Elliott welcome back Bradley for the first of a two-part discussion on physical touch. In part 1, we talk about physical touch as one of the five primary "love languages." We discuss our journeys with physical touch among other men as well as the notion of asking for touch and initiating hugs with other men.

Give us a listen down below, and try not to #TouchTooMuch.

As always, we thank our YOBBERS — financial backers of Your Other Brothers who supply this show with such phenomenal content. You guys asked us a ton of great questions, and we did our best to answer as many as we could in these two episodes. We couldn’t produce this show every other week without y’all!

Enjoy the episode! And don’t forget to comment. Where does physical touch land on your echelon of love languages? How do you give physical touch, how do you receive physical touch, and do you treat physical touch differently among different people? How do you articulate your need for physical touch with other men?
