Hand Holding isn’t Just for Kids

Remember when you were little and keep your hand in mom and dad made you feel loved, safe and secure wherever you were? It is not something that we grow as we grow older, the fact that we continue to feel loved and secure when someone who cares about us taking us by the hand. Hand holding and other non-sexual kind of touch is important in a relationship. You should keep your hand on your spouse when you have a chance because it really promotes a physical proximity in a relationship that is different and separate from your sex life.

Of course you need not limit you to hand holding, although this is something you could do if you are everyday, watch TV, go to the car or at a party with friends. There is always time to touch each other to express affection, but to do it without really trying to have sexual contact. Some other things you can do to promote the same vicinity, which is not based on sex include:

  • Rubbing the neck and back
  • Hugging
  • Sitting bones to bones or with a hand on a knee or thigh
  • Unplanned kiss
  • Cuddling
  • Walking with arms around each other
  • Rub hand or arm of your partner
  • Caress your partner's head, neck or face
  • Placing your hand on their shoulder
  • Placing your arm around your mate's waste

This type of touch is not sexual, it is simply loving and tender nature. It is important to have this kind of touching in your relationship, because it will make you both feel that someone has genuine feelings for you away from your sex life. Nonsexual touch of this kind will also help to build confidence, comfort and intimacy with each other on a whole new level.

When a relationship is new nonsexual touch is usually at its peak. This has to do with the fact that there is so much that has not been explored, and you just can not keep their hands off each other. As the relationship matures, we stop to touch so much, and it takes away from the general well-being and intimacy, which was divided early in the relationship. Often nonsexual touching that which is experienced is a matter of habit, kiss, when we leave and when we get home, but none of it is really very gratifying. Make time for these simple touch of your relationship and see how it can improve your connection all the way around. Chances are it will do good things for both of you and your partnership!
