Heart It
Many studies have focused on the benefits of touch for the person receiving it. Earlier studies showed that softness and smoothness stimulate parts of the brain associated with emotion and reward. Therefore, this "illusion" that other people are softer ensures that reaching out and touching another person comes as its own reward. This rewarding illusion acts as a kind of "social glue," bonding people to each other.
