It was a nice anniversary celebration. Your partner took you to the restaurant where you had your first date a year ago. They gifted you with those cute sea turtle earrings because you’re obsessed with sea turtles. The dessert was great. You were happy. But why is it that you don’t feel butterflies until nearly midnight when you’re both cuddling together in your pajamas while watching TV? It’s likely because your love language is physical touch. You appreciate all the other romantic gestures, but your heart really goes pitter-patter when you feel totally relaxed in their arms.

physical touch For people who speak “physical touch” as their primary love language, physical affection through hugs, kisses, sex, cuddling, and other touch are the fuel that fills their tank and keeps relationships strong. If you or your partner have a strong need for physical touch, it’s important to communicate your needs and figure out what fills each of your tanks, even if you don’t naturally speak the same language. A healing touch Physical touch, according to science, doesn’t just feel good to you, but it’s also good for you. Benefits of getting physical Touching builds a stronger bond in relationships. (The hormone oxytocin is a helluva “drug.”) In one study, researchers showed that physical touch helps alleviate loneliness, lessens feelings of neglect, and improves heart rate. In another study, holding hands with a partner mitigated pupil dilation (a stress response) during a short stress-provoking activity. Evidence that touching reduces stress has implications for reducing many health risks. Researchers have also found that pain is reduced in women who hold their partner’s hand. Social support through physical touch could be an intentional tool to help people cope with childbirth and other painful experiences. Slow, gentle touch stimulates specialized nerve fibers that pick up touch signals and soothe feelings of rejection. Long-term touch deprivation can lead to loneliness, anxiety, depression, and stress. Physical touch may be a person’s primary love language, meaning they absolutely need it in regular doses to feel fulfilled in a relationship. It may also be a person’s secondary love language, serving as a support for their primary love language. Isn’t it romantic? Or not All touch is not created equal. Whether a specific touch is romantic or not usually comes down to who is doing the touching and how it makes you feel. Touch from someone you have romantic feelings for in a way that’s meant to strengthen your emotional bond or excite you sexually is romantic! Touch between you and someone you have a platonic emotional bond with is not romantic. Touch for the sake of something practical like a medical test is nonromantic. Here are some examples: Romantic touch Nonromantic touch Your partner puts a hand on your shoulder while you wait in line. A stranger taps you on the shoulder to say “Excuse me.” Your date holds your hand while you’re on a walk. An aesthetician holds your hand while giving you a manicure. Your partner kisses your cheek. You kiss your nephew’s wee baby cheek. A crush strokes your back at the bar. A chiropractor adjusts your back to relieve pain. Of course, all touch must be consensual. Touch that makes a person uncomfortable or crosses the romantic/nonromantic line is inappropriate and can potentially cause or resurface trauma.

If your love language is gift giving, choose gifts that gratify your partner’s tactile needs. Try a soft blanket, a neck massager, or cozy socks. To build your touching habit, give frequent, random hugs or back rubs throughout the day. Experiment with massaging different areas of the body to find common ground for your both to enjoy. Try PDA to remind your partner your focus is on them when there’s a lot going on around you. It’s also important how you receive physical affection from your partner. Being touched may not come naturally to you because you have sensory differences, are on the autism spectrum, or just didn’t experience a lot of touch in your life before. You may react negatively to touch because of traumas in your past. It’s still possible to have a fulfilling physical relationship by communicating with your partner and experimenting to get comfortable with touch. Let your partner know that as you get used to being touched, your reactions are not a rejection of them or their affection, just something you need more practice with. A relationship counselor can help tackle problems that are too deep to work through on your own.
