505: Why Touch Matters

Did you know there are different types of touch? In today’s episode, Laurie and George share the work of sex researcher Barry McCarthy on the different types of touch and why they matter. Join us in learning about affectionate, non-demand pleasure and sensual/erotic touch. All kinds of touch are important for emotional and sexual connection. Yet, a quick shift from affectionate to sexual touch can trigger the negative cycle. Our hosts will help listeners understand the differences and when and where to engage in each style. If you’ve been in a pattern where a hug can lead to sex or to an argument this episode will shine light on what happened and what to do next. Make sure to follow along as we work on rebranding our pod and on our exciting upcoming events!
