Expert Answer

This depends on where your boyfriend likes to be touched. However, if you're on a first date with a guy that you aren't an item with yet, a quick hug at the end of the date is usually considered appropriate.

This means that he softly touched your hip with his hands or fingertips. Caresses can be friendly or romantic, so you may need to ask him about his intentions.

If it's unintentional, you can simply let them know that it's happening. If you're worried that it might be intentional, consider having a conversation with them about the importance of consent.

In a relationship, communicating desires is extremely important. With an open and honest dialogue, the two of you should be able to discuss what turns you on, what you're interested in exploring, and where you'd like to touch one another.

Question

Can I caress a lady with whom I just started relationship?

Community Answer

Yes, but only if she's comfortable with it. If she says or does anything to make you think she's uncomfortable, then you should pull away.

Question

Can I caress anyone at all?

Community Answer

You can caress a romantic partner or, in more casual and non-romantic ways, a friend. You should not just do it to a random person.

Question

How do I caress my boyfriend?

Community Answer

Stroke his hair (mostly on the back of his head down to the back of his neck). Stroke his thigh and maintain eye contact to be comforting and loving while making him feel excited. Stroke his upper arms, and wherever else you want.
