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.
