N2 - Do it. That's right; do it. Physical affection is good for you, and it is good for your close relationships. This chapter outlines the extant studies that support this notion (given certain parameters and limitations), and it provides a cohesive theoretical and practical framework for understanding physical affection in the context of individual and relational betterment. Also, while something like a kiss may range from harmlessly "peckish" to ravenously sexual, the main focus of this chapter is on non-erotic physical affection. Consult other chapters in this volume that deal with issues peripherally related to physical affection (such as touch, close physical contact in children, love, sex, and intimacy). Thus the main point of this chapter on physical affection is that you should do it, and we'll tell you why.
