- Physical Touch is one of the most effective yet misinterpreted of the Five Love Languages. Many people especially Men confuse the idea of Physical Touch by relating mostly to sexual intercourse. As explained in context by Gary Chapman, physical touch can feature sexual intercourse but is not the only way to communicate love using this language. Physical touch can be described as a kiss, holding hands, giving a back rub, sexual intercourse, or simply just placing your hand or your spouses shoulder. Furthermore, Chapman explains the power of touch by giving insight to the fact that touch is the only one of the five senses that is not limited to one specific part of the body. You can touch or be touched with any part of your body which recognizes the feeling as either pleasure or pain. More importantly, Chapman suggests that all touches are not created equally basically saying that it is ultimately up to your spouse to accept or reject physical touch. Essentially you should not assume that all physical touch is enjoyable to your partner because they may not agree with your intentions.
