A lot of people seem to attribute America’s touch-starved culture to Puritan standards of conduct but I think it was the opposite. I think ever since we became so sex-crazed suddenly you can’t even put an arm around someone’s shoulder without that being seen as “putting the moves on” meanwhile Puritan children could openly call their fathers “daddy” and no one batted an eye so like…who’s the real culprit in “no one’s allowed to touch because touch is sexual” here?
