I appreciate your comment.

I've actually talked to my fiance about things like this, because I noticed that I was 'handling' him, and I felt like it was demeaning to him. Luckily for me, he considered what I said and informed me that he likes that.

Probably helps that I'm used to disturbed and abused humans, too...
