Triss' feelings for Geralt go beyond his magical touch. The horny part is no problem, it's similar to a man who loves one woman getting a lap dance from another hot woman. His dick might get hard, but it doesn't involve his feelings. To say Triss worried she would betray her feelings for Geralt because she found Eskel's touch pleasant is stretching it, especially since nothing else happens that shows Triss having any interest in Eskel whatsoever, quite the contrary, her feelings for Geralt seem stronger than ever during her stay at KM.

Triss is with the lodge however.

Nobody said otherwise. Some guys don't like lap dances because they feel it's betraying their partner. It's the same in this situation.
You're arguing against assertions that were never made.

Vesemir is an ex.

No, she isn't. Triss abandoned the Lodge completely by the end of TW2, when she stood by Geralt's side against them at the Loc Muinne summit. That was a huge step for her if we consider the loyalty she had for them in the past.

If you check out Philippa's crystal in TW3, you can hear she doesn't count Triss in her plans to revive the Lodge and that she is not too enthusiastic about her. One of the major points in Triss' character arc in the games is her slowly abandoning the Lodge and finding her own path, which she does in TW3. It's part of her growth.

I meant that Triss believed in the initial ideals of the lodge: "dum dum normies and males r too stupid to make their own decisions"

Gaunter O'Dimm is best girl.

I am just disagreeing with the user who said Triss was worried about betraying her feelings for Geralt because of that touch, which I don't agree with.

Her misfortunate obsession and unrequited love for Geralt is a giant part of Triss' characterization in the books and something that she doesn't change until the end, as she begs Ciri to take her with them. She clearly has strong feelings for Geralt.To write that off to a pleasant handshake that is described in half the sentence is no something I agree with.

Triss is highly idealistic. Her participation in the Sodden battle influenced her views on the world in great measure and formed her into a person she is. Triss genuinely believes in the greater good, but her ideals were misplaced and she supported very shady actions the Lodge did. Even though the decisions were not hers, she is at fault for the actions of the Lodge. However, she grows out of it and changes for the better, makes amends...I like the whole Lodge subplot Triss has.

She is. She doesn't want another guy to make her excited with his touch.

It was cool to see how Triss' actions in Witcher 3 relate to Cynthia's analysis of the Lodge sorceresses individual strength. Her biggest knocks in Cynthia's eyes despite being talented was her lack of determination and courage, Witcher 3 acting as turning point in her development as a strong sorceress perhaps. Keira's was she just wants dick and doesn't care for magic and Margarita was she only cares about teaching
