Scientists have created a body map, showing exactly where people do and don’t like to be touched.
More than 1,300 people responded to Oxford university and Finland’s Aalto university survey that asked where they were comfortable being touched and by whom.
The results, compiled into a “body map index” and published on Monday by PNAS (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in America), found men were far more comfortable with physical contact than women, with the single exception of contact with male friends.
The majority of women told researchers the only part of their body they were comfortable with male strangers touching were their hands.
In comparison, men claimed to be more at ease with a female stranger touching any part of their body, including their genitals, than a relative.
Bit surprised there is no taboo area marked for mothers and sisters touching you.
I would hit the roof (not in the sexual sense) if my mother or sister dared to touch my genitals.
