This is really interesting... I've never thought to track my visceral reactions/signals before...except in identifying fear and anxiety.
I guess for me, then my need for emotional closeness is sensed in the back of my head as something visual and aural in nature. When I'm attracted to someone, there is a pull that comes from there, a need to turn my head and pay attention to my 'target.' The physical manifestation is in my skin, either my cheek, lips, fingertips, and arms. Sometimes my feet, even.
Sexual, well, definitely a buzzy first chakra *blush and grin*.
What's interesting for me, though, is that as I've tried to meet new people, I've had this visual/aural pull from some, and not for others, but I've ignored the sensation because I thought it wasn't 'open' enough to the possibilities our lifestyle offers. I think by ignoring this, however, I've tried to create scenarios that wouldn't normally happen.
On the flip side, I have followed the sensation and have been rejected, which may be why I've taken the rejection so hard.
In any case, I intend on paying more attention to those sensations, and I imagine I'll save myself some heartache and misunderstanding in the future.
