hold me
[...]Most people desire occasional physical intimacy, which is a natural part of human affectivity, and research has shown it has health benefits. A hug or touch can result in the release of oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin, and in a reduction in stress hormones.[citation needed] A lack of physical intimacy can lead to increased feelings of loneliness.[...]
In private, people in an intimate relationship or who are familiar with each other are more at ease with physical intimacy and display of affection, which can involve:
- Sitting on or lying against the other person or resting their head on the other's shoulder, lap, breast, chest, etc.
- Caressing (petting) or gently stroking body parts or hair with a hand
- Tickling
- Massaging someone's back, legs or feet or other part.
- Sexual intercourse
- Rubbing or patting someone's belly, mostly for babies
- Patting the buttocks or swatting the back or upper arm
- Tapping the legs
