Tactile communication refers to what we communicate through the sense of touch -- through touching, or not touching each other in various ways. Touch may be the most primal or basic form of communication, since it's the way things are communicated to infants, way before infants have learned anything about other modes of communication.
Tactile messages tend to convey aspects of emotional and attitudinal states. Touch can convey anger, love, warmth, coldness, hostility, etc. The absence of touch also can communicate.
We communicate a great deal through our physical contact, or lack of it, with others.
