Touch is a fundamental part of human
existence. Studies on infants have shown
the importance of regular, loving touch
and holding on brain development.
These benefits do not end in childhood.
Life without physical contact with
others is a lonely life indeed.
Studies have shown that affectionate
touch actually boosts the body's levels
of oxytocin, a hormone that influences
bonding and attachment. In a committed
relationship between two adult
partners, physical intercourse is often a
cornerstone of the relationship.
However, intercourse should not be the
only method of physical intimacy in a
relationship. Regular, affectionate touch
—holding hands, hugging, or kissing—is
equally important.
Be sensitive to what your partner
likes. While touch is a key part of a
healthy relationship, it's important to
take some time to find out what your
partner really likes. Unwanted touching
or inappropriate overtures can make the
other person tense up and retreat—
exactly what you don't want.
