Goldstein and the team suggest that the sense of touch promotes a shared experience, that can extend to the sharing of pain. In other words, if you can feel your partners touch, it dulls your pain receptors as your body realizes that you are not alone. "Interpersonal touch may blur the borders between self and other," Goldstein wrote. "You may express empathy for a partner's pain, but without touch it may not be fully communicated," he said.
