			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Touching/physical contact is <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/singles-dating/flirting-and-seduction/pick-up-women-how-to-approach-any-woman-without-fear-of-rejection-pick-up-secrets-exposed-by-a-woman/" title="How Any Nice Guy Can Get Practically Any Girl He Wants">an absolutely vital component of seduction</a>. You can’t successfully pick-up a girl without first establishing a basic level of mutual tactility.</p>
<h3>Establishing Touch </h3>
<p>In other words, before you can move in for the kill by kissing and/or sleeping with her, you MUST first have a regular, healthy amount of touching that works both ways: she flirtatiously puts her hand on your knee, you encircle her waist with your arm and pull her a little closer, whatever form the physical contact takes, it has to be present for you to achieve your final goal of actual seduction. </p>
<p>And that right there is where the problem for many men lies: <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/category/singles-dating/flirting-and-seduction/" title="Flirting &amp; Seduction">how can a guy get the ball rolling</a> when it comes to tactility and physical closeness? If the girl’s not being tactile, how can a guy develop mutual physical closeness without freaking her out or scaring her away?</p>
<p>Often men just “go for it” and consequently end up making the girl feel uncomfortable or even slightly violated because of their rushed attempt at physical closeness. Other men decide they don’t want to risk putting a girl off, so they hold back any kind of touching or bodily contact. </p>
<p>Doing so usually sends out the wrong message, that the guy is either not interested in the girl, or that he’s simply too timid to show it, neither of which are attractive scenarios in the mind of a good-looking, fun-loving girl. Okay, so what’s the solution to this awkward problem? </p>
<h3>Basic Rules of Physical Contact </h3>
<p>Quite simply, you just need to follow a few basic rules or procedures, all of which conform to the personal boundaries of most girl (and therefore don’t appear uncalled for or rushed) but at the same time clearly indicate that you’re a confident guy who’s not afraid of getting to know girls and even showing it through casual, relaxed physical contact. So, let’s take a look.</p>
<h3>Touching is NOT a No-No! </h3>
<p>Many men think that <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/relationship-advice/sex-touching-emotions/" title="Touch - It’s More Than Sex">touching a girl in any way</a> when they first meet them is an absolute no-no. But that’s simply not true. </p>
<p>To form a positive, strong first impression and create an immediate bond with a girl when you first introduce yourself or get talking, casually and gently touch the outside of her right arm while at the same time verbally expressing something. </p>
<p>The outside of a woman’s arm is not intimate enough a place for the touch to feel strange or out-of-place, but at the same time it’s a clear-cut sign that you’re a personable, socially adept kind of guy. Don’t be afraid to give it a try. You’ll notice the benefits immediately.</p>
<h3>Stealth Tactility </h3>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Every wonder why a man gets instantly excited by the slightest little touch? </p>
<p>The reasons behind his reaction may not be as simple as assuming that he&#8217;s just <a title="Spice up your sex life" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-and-intimacy/relationship-advice-spice-up-your-sex-life-save-your-relationship/">over-sexed</a>. It may go much, much deeper&#8230;</p>
<p>We all associate different emotions (good and bad) with different types of touching such as holding hands, hugging, getting a massage, and kissing. Some of these emotions can be very powerful and have a significant impact on how we relate to others.</p>
<p>Read this great article from featured author <a href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/tag/melody-brooke/" title="Articles by Melody Brooke on AskDanAndJennifer.com">Melody Brooke</a> to find out why the way we touch one another is extremely important to a happy and secure relationship.  </p>
<h2>Touch &#8211; It’s More Than Sex</h2>
<p>by <a target="_blank" href="http://www.melodybrooke.com/" title="Melody Brooke">Melody Brooke</a>, MA, LPC, LMFT</p>
<p><strong>For many men,</strong> the opportunity to be touched, even casually by a woman is arousing.&nbsp; And, no, it’s not because men are different than women innately.&nbsp; This is because boys are often raised with little physical nurturance.&nbsp; Some men are so touch deprived that they shut off the awareness of the need for it entirely.&nbsp; As a result they appear cold, distant and emotionally unavailable.&nbsp; They have little understanding of why a woman wants to be touched or cuddled.&nbsp; It completely baffles them.</p>
<p>Many cultures within the larger American culture work to toughen up boys and assume that cuddling, hugging and kissing boys makes <strong>“Mama’s boys”</strong> or <strong>“Sissies”</strong> out of them.&nbsp; This creates an environment in which our male children are raised without physical touch.&nbsp; Yet we know, from years of research that touch is a basic need.&nbsp; Babies deprived of touch do not survive; they will quit eating and die.&nbsp; While men, even 5 or 6 year old boys are not infants, they, like all of us have a basic need to be held, to be touched, and otherwise physically nurtured.&nbsp;&nbsp; This need for touch can be hidden away for years, until perhaps in their early teens, a girl steals a kiss or holds his hands.&nbsp; Suddenly he finds himself aroused and from that moment on, associates touch with sex.&nbsp; </p>
<p><strong>Then these poor guys get accused of being hyper sexual</strong> because the need for touch, which has been repressed for years, suddenly emerges as sexual desire.&nbsp; The hormone oxytocin carries messages of bonding, safety, overall well being and of love to our brains and to our bodies.&nbsp; It also increases sexual arousal. This hormone is released when there is any type of skin-to-skin contact. This generally happens at the same time as the developmental hormonal changes of adolescence, further complicating matters.&nbsp; From the male perspective then, touch=sex.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Every touch experienced carries a different electrochemical message to the brain. Even small, very light touches can create tremendous brain activity. When you expanded to hugging, the response is magnified many times because it brings with it memories of previous experiences (or lack thereof) and the attached emotional meaning. (Welch, 1988) When a person is upset or stressed, taking their hand usually produces a soothing effect, reducing anxiety, and generating a feeling of greater security as the oxytocin is released.&nbsp; </p>
<p>Couples observed touching affectionately test as being more securely attached and having a more satisfying sex life.&nbsp; If you are <a title="Spice up your sex life" href="http://www.askdanandjennifer.com/sex-and-intimacy/relationship-advice-spice-up-your-sex-life-save-your-relationship/">unhappy with the amount of sexual activity</a> with your partner, notice what happens when you become more affectionate in general with each other.&nbsp; Increasing overall affectionate behaviors can have a positive effect on each of you individually, as well as increasing the amount of sexual activity between you&#8230;</p>
