Why Couples Do Back-To-Back Touching
Nectar
Corrine Sweet, a relationship psychologist, conducted a survey among couples to find their most common sleeping positions and back-to-back touching came in second. This is when couples are facing away from each other, but their backs are touching.
“Both partners are relaxed and comfortable with one another – this is often common in new relationships,” said Sweet. Since this is a form of side sleeping, couples have reported feeling less joint pain in the morning.
