The types of "touch"
nurturing touch: Comforting touch, mostly for the sake of the one being touched. (examples: neck rub, pat of the back etc.)
sexual touch: May last longer, be softer, involve sexual parts of the body; though not always. (examples: longer hugs/kisses, sexual intercourse etc.)
affectionate touch: More equally balanced between the two persons. (examples: brief hugs/kisses, dancing etc.)
violent touch: Touch that physically hurts someone. shows anger or power. (examples: slapping or shoving someone in an argument, spanking a child for discipline etc.)
exploitive touch: Mostly for the sake of the one doing the touching. One person may feel tricked, teased, pushed, threatened, forced or "talked into" touching. (examples: child sexual abuse, forced into sexual activities with significant other etc.)
*disclaimer*: everyone has different views on each type of touch
