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.
