If you had to locate the feeling of "longing" or "yearning" your body, where would you say it was?

Joanne's FAVORITE answer:
I'd say that yearning is in my head. longing for this frickin headache to go away. Yearning to get over this blasted hangover. Half a bottle of tequilla on a worknight is no way to live life...

Joanne's answer:
When I am yearning/longing for someone who I can not (or can no longer) have, I'd say that I feel it the most in the pit of my stomach. They don't call it "lovesick" for nothing!

And the other answers!

I know it is from the brain as the doctor on Oprah said however, it seems to me that those words could and should be found in the HEART!

In my taste buds. I 'long' and 'yearn' for ohhhhhhhhhh so much to satisfy them that it must be there.

Longing, yearning is in the same company as pinning and I can tell you from experience that that emotion is all through your body. It's in your arms, your chest, your stomach, your legs - it's just everywhere. It hurts, it drains and it depletes you of everything. The deeper the want, the worse the longing/yearning/pinning. It isn't just one place. It everywhere your blood flows.

Loins. Its all about the loins. (Have I read too many Harlequin romances? And does anyone know exactly where loins are on a human?)

My spleen.

The crotch region?

What an intersting question! I certainly don't mean to be dodging it, but I think I have to say that it depends on who or what I am longing for. I have, in my life, felt longing in my chest, my gut, my arms, my eyes, and a few other places I'd rather not mention...

Definitely my liver. Definitely.

uh... my junk.

Well… depends on what you are longing or yearning for… =) I would say the heart – well because I am female – Now a man would say his head and it would not be the head on the top of his body.
