Are there any actual, proper substitutes for physical touch and

Why is the real thing not an option?

Nobody wants to just hug and touch me.

I get massages. I close my eyes and fantasise about affection like holding hands or my crush kissing me during the massage. I'm a mentally ill woman who doesn't want to hurt anyone with my miserable company.

How often do you need to get a massage, and how long will it last?

I've tried, that stuff does nothing for me.

Medication used to treat heartburn enchances the effects of alcohol, so you'll get drunk cheaper. Look into anything with ranitidine in it.

What about a pet? Dogs are good companions, same money sa alcohol.

My rental place doesn't allow pets, I don't know where I'll end up next, and I don't know how to train one.

I've lived in one house entirely contaminated with dog piss and shit and I never want to do that again.

Training a pet isn't hard, anon. There are tons of books and instructions available on how to raise one.
The experience of bonding with a dog is great, specially if you get a young puppy, since you get to see them grow. But if you really don't want to raise a dog, then getting drunk or going for massages might be your next best options.

It really is *can't*, not "don't want to".

I'd love to have a dog.

are you clean? do you have elephantitus?

you can pay women to hug you for like $10 an hour

>>18685383
I'm not interested in women.

What do I have to pay to have a man hug me for an hour without him getting a boner?

>>18685612
nothin at all. nothing at all.

just say "hey bro this is kinda weird, but i need someone to hug me. im feeling like shit." i would, even if you wer an ugly fucker. if you have slimy shit which will get stuck on me then id say no though...

>>18686366
probs not for an hour though. for like 5 minutes max before it got too weird.

>>18686371
i think you will find that an hour is more time than you need/want anyeay.

if it has to be an hour then i think 5-10 dollarinos would work. defo 5 if you hug a mexican.
