Abstract

The connections between haptic perception and sexuality arise initially from the actual realisation organ of this form of perception — the skin. The skin itself, however, fulfils various functions, which are related more or less to differing aspects of haptic perception. This is illustrated by two different approaches to skin function which have a number of similarities (Tab. 1).
