Touch is crucial for
infants and remains important throughout people's lives. In fact,
medical research on touch has shown that it improves many situations,
for both adults and children, by lessening anxiety, calming fears,
decreasing pain, lowering blood pressure, reducing stress, soothing
the sick and alleviating loneliness.
Because touch offers such benefits, it would be a shame to let life
pass you by without the affection you deserve. Even if you have a
partner who doesn't touch you enough, you can still touch him or her
and get the same rewards. Touch allows people to simultaneously
receive and transmit feelings, so it's not important who initiates
affection.
Sometimes the only thing that a person needs to do is learn how to
demonstrate touch. Once they do, nature takes over. This is because
people's bodies trigger the production of endorphins (a pleasure
response) each time they engage in specific behaviors that center on
bodily functions that are necessary for survival (eating, nursing,
coitus, and so on); coincidentally, many of the same areas involved in
the act of sex.
Remember, you are in charge of getting your needs met, not your
partner. If you need to be touched-do the touching. You will both be
happier for it.
