Posted by Sweater Fish Deluxe on July 23, 2008 at 17:50:35 EST in reply to that's really weird. I would never be interested in pinching a child just because it is there. it's like a small human, you wouldn't do that to a grown one. (n/t) from exodus.
I think adults would probably would touch each other a lot more if there weren't social barriers against it. Animals have an instinct towards physical contact that goes much deeper than modern society's concept of "personal space," so we are constantly worrying away at the edges of those barriers whenever we can. I don't see what the objection is to having someone touch your baby. What exactly is it that you're afraid of, Mark? "I don't know who the fuck you are?" What does that mean? Do you think the person is going to like steal your baby and run away with it if they're able to get close enough to touch or something?
