How many times a day do you need to hug women? And when it is categorically impossible to touch men?
We all stay in touch with each other, 24 hours a day, and 365 days a year. But messengers and funny emoticons only make sense as a Supplement to a real relationship based on physical contact. This is the opinion of scientists from the University of Colorado.
They analyzed the encephalograms of several dozen pairs. The alpha rhythm was taken as a basis. The greatest amplitude it has in a state of calm wakefulness, and is blocked by increasing attention and mental activity. The growth of the alpha rhythm has already occurred when the pairs were sitting next to each other, but the peak of activity was at the time when one of the partners held the other's hand.
Moreover, when a woman in the experiment experienced mild thermal pain, as soon as her hand was in the hand of a partner – the feeling of pain decreased by almost 70%. Such interesting findings confirm how important it is for a woman to feel close to a loved one.
Scientists believe that frequent accusations such as "you don't love me", "you don't care about me" confound even those men who love and care, are connected with such tactile hunger. At least six hugs or simple touches a day can bring harmony to family relationships more than a session with a psychoanalyst.
This phenomenon is based on empathy. When a woman feels understanding and empathy through touch, substances that relieve pain are synthesized in her brain.
Hugs are no less important for men. Don't skimp on them. But there are exceptions. Do not touch a man in great pain. Here everything works the opposite. A man can handle pain better himself, without help. And without too much fuss.

Did the research really say men don’t benefit from touch when in pain?
I think it depends on a man's character. All very individual.
