Offering affection, or any other type of intimate behavior with one's hand showcases the transcendence between one's emotional intentions and use of hands. However, holding hands only suggests intimacy in its every form, and nothing but. Thus, to perceive the notion of an intimate feeling, one...

What is unique to humans: we can express our feelings (or affect) through our hands. Two or more people voluntarily hold hands for one of the following reasons and purposes: in various rituals: handshake in certain religious services, to pray in various occult rituals to express friendship or love to enjoy physical intimacy (not...
