Lately, when someone I like leans in to give me a lame air-kiss I tell them to give me a good hug instead. Gentle platonic touch is central to the early development of infants. It continues to play an important role throughout men and women’s lives in terms of our development, health and emotional well being, right into old age. When I talk about gentle platonic touch, I’m not talking about a pat on the back, or a handshake, but instead contact that is lasting and meant to provide connection and comfort. Think, leaning on someone for a few minutes, holding hands, rubbing their back or sitting close together not out of necessity but out of choice.- See more at: goodmenproject/featured-content/megasahd-touch-isolation-how-homophobia-has-robbed-men-of-touch/#sthash.zb2BVfKl.dpuf
