Interesting new article on non-sexual touch in Psychology Today. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/sexual-mindfulness/202207/the-need-mindful-non-sexual-touch?amp
Cool article, my only qualm is the statement, "touch has no harmful side effects"...it just would have benefitted from the word "consensual" added at the beginning.
On another note, I decided to give eye gazing a try for the very first time, at a recent group cuddle. The guy I asked, a perfect stranger, agreed, and we did three minutes talking as we eye-gazed, then three minutes with no talking. No tears were shed, and it was very difficult, but I'm glad I tried it!

@SunsetSnuggles I tried eye gazing using a mirror but the guy I was doing it kept blinking and making funny faces.
seems like there should be a with in there.
