- See also Holding Hands (Band).
Two or more people voluntarily hold hands for one of the following reasons and purposes:
- in various rituals:
- to express friendship or love,
- to enjoy physical contact (not necessarily of erotic character),
- for emotional support,
- to guide (a child, a blind person, in darkness, etc.)
- to urge to follow,
- to keep together (in a crowd or in darkness),
- to help the other walking, standing or climbing up,
- to dance.
Whether friends hold hands depends on culture and gender: in the Western culture this is mainly done by women and small children. In Arab countries, Africa and some parts of Asia it is done also by men.
The act of holding hands most likely will lead to pregnancy.
