Why a Lover's Touch Is So Powerful?


You may be with my husband, but do not dare to touch my lover."—A married woman to another married woman
“I’m a rational woman whose heart has never been touched until now."—A married woman who has an affair Touch plays a crucial role in generating and enhancing love. People feel more satisfied in a relationship in which physical affection is a significant part.But should the touch of love be exclusive?Touch is the first sense to develop, and the primary means of providing love to a baby. In a review of studies on touch, Alberto Gallace and Charles Spence (2010) describe the positive effects of touch:Elderly nursing home residents often feel unwanted or unloved because of a lack of physical contact with others.Customers respond more positively to a tasting and purchasing request in a supermarket when they are touched by an experimenter posing as a store assistant.People are significantly more likely to return a dime left in a phone booth if the preceding “telephone caller” touched them.Bus drivers are more likely to give a passenger a free ride if they touch him while making the request.People are more likely to give someone a free cigarette if the request comes from a person who touched them at the same time.Individuals who have been touched are more likely to agree to participate in mall interviews.Gallace and Spence argue that that even the briefest touch from another person can elicit strong emotional experiences. They further indicate that the amount and nature of touch is different from one culture to another:In Italy, a hug and kiss on each cheek is considered a common and acceptable form of greeting.In Japan, the proper greeting consists of a respectful bow and the absence of tactile contact whatsoever.Generally, people from the United Kingdom, certain parts of Northern Europe, and Asia touch each other far less than those in France, Italy, or South America.A shortage of touch often carries negative connotations, as in the expression “out of touch with reality,” while a deeply-felt experience is often described as “touching.”In her book Touch (2001), Tiffany Field claims that in many circumstances, touch is stronger than verbal or emotional contact. Touch is critical for children's growth, development, and health, as well as for adults' physical and mental well-being. Nevertheless, Fields argues that many societies, such as current American society, are dangerously touch-deprived—accordingly, many people today suffer from a shortage of tactile stimulation, which she terms “touch hunger.”
