JAKARTA - Sensual touch is needed to build a connection with a partner. Both men and women need sensual touch from their partner, but men are said to need it more.
Quoted from Men's Health, on Thursday, January 22, 2026, physiologically sensual touch can help regulate stress hormones, improve mood, deepen emotional relationships, and increase overall body awareness.
"However, sensual touch can help men get out of performance mode and into their bodies, which in turn reduces performance and related erectile dysfunction," says somatic and intimacy coach Court Vox.
Sensual touch is one of the main ways men feel love and passion, so that their partner who understands this can help improve the harmony of the relationship.
The sensual touch does not always have to mean sexual. There are also non-sexual touches, such as gentle massage, hugs, stroking hair, which men also need to feel affection and emotional support.
A loving touch such as a hug can also help stimulate the release of the hormone oxytocin which creates a sense of security and calm in men.
"When men begin to find sensual touch, slow, deliberate, non-pressurized touch inherently non-sexual, they reclaim access to a connection of security and even pleasure," he said.
Meanwhile, for sexual touches related to sex, men tend to like more aggressive touches, especially in the pleasure center.
There are several sensitive areas in men that are very responsive to sexual touch. Starting from the neck and neck, armpits, perineum (area between the testicles and anus), to the head of the penis.
