Sex and the Power of Touch

The power of human touch has been well documented by scientific and medical research. As a physical and psychological therapy, it is natural for humans to crave it.
Touch is one of the most pleasurable of the senses, and it stands to reason that it can greatly benefit your sex life. But in our age of instant gratification, the art of touching is often missed. There are easy ways to bring the pleasure of touch back into your sex life.

Nothing stirs desire like the slightest of touches, the wisp of a promise. Gently stroke your lover’s face and watch their reaction. When you’re in public, gently touch their arm or place your hand on their thigh for the briefest of moments. A woman can be aroused by the feel of man’s hand on the small of her back as much as more erogenous zones.
Sometimes a simple touch and express emotions that words cannot.

A long massage, a quick hug, and holding hands all contribute to a more positive sexual relationship. Take your time. Explore every part of your lover’s body and linger.
Explore the possibilities. Learn where your partner loves to be touched and what drives them wild.

So, reach out and touch someone and, don’t forget the massage oil!

My work is off-the-charts stressful and demands a lot of my time. I feel like I do a good job dealing with the stress most of the time, but sometimes stress from other areas of my life combines with those from work in unexpected ways. I then find myself struggling to focus on even the simplest of tasks and I am effectively crippled in my ability to complete anything.

At a lesser stress level, sex would be the solution to reduce my stress from 150% to 0%, but in this condition I have no interest even in sex.

Thankfully, the First Lady recognizes my plight and comes to my aid simply laying her hand on mine, brushing her body against mine, lightly kissing my neck, or firmly grasping my hand in hers. These gestures seem innocuous enough, but they silently and powerfully express both her trust in me and her vulnerability without me.

It always amazes me how much better I feel—how much more relaxed and loved I feel following these brief but "touching" moments in time.
