Scientists at the University of Alberta found that the touch of a woman makes men feel more secure and more likely to go through risky situations.

The research link this new finding to mothers’ touch when we are infants. According to the researchers, this creates a sense of attachment, which makes a baby feel secure and helps the youngster’s sense of adventure.

Jennifer Argo of the University of Alberta and Jonathan Levav of Columbia University wanted to find out if a woman’s touch has the same effect to adults as that of a mother to her baby. They conducted an experiment and survey to test their idea.

The researchers found that a woman’s touch works the same on adults as it does on infants, making them feel more secure and more willing to take risks.
