"By gently touching certain body zones, relaxing, activating and euphoretic hormones are released. With a compact exercise program, Franz Benedikter shows how, by touching certain trigger zones of the body, we can have a positive effect on the body through the psyche by way of self-massage and partner massage, which is much more like tender touching. As proved by the latest scientific findings, touching the skin triggers hormonal reactions. Endorphins bring feelings of happiness, increases the willingness to achieve, intensify the vital feeling and heighten sensory perception. This very effective program introduces a new age of tenderness. Above all, tenderness is skin contact, the feeling of warmth and closeness.

A life without stroking is only half a life. We can naturally live without tenderness, but not live happily. People who have not been touched tenderly and stroked are less open, sometimes unsociable and lacking in warmheartedness. A healthy person has a great longing to be touched. Sensitive touching has a very relaxing effect and is a sensuous experience at the same time."
