5 fingers

In your everyday, normal life you don't think about how much your hands touch and are a part of how you perceive the world. When you are with someone that you love, your hands are usually the first thing that your partner touches. This may be in the form of holding hands or even just a slight touch on your shoulder. Now think about how much that little touch means. You are allowing that person to come into your space and to share the sensation of touch. Can you remember what it felt like the first time your partner held you? One of the most intimate thing a couple can do is hold each other. It allows you to be vulnerable, like you can communicate without words. There is a reason why people like being held, hold hands, or even just a simple hand on the back or hip. As humans, we crave touch, and that touch starts with just the tip of a finger.
