Petting / Stroking Hair

Petting and stroking hair involves running fingers through or gently caressing a partner's hair. This seemingly simple act can be deeply intimate and soothing, activating nerve endings in the scalp that can create pleasurable sensations.

This touch can be tender and affectionate or incorporate gentle tugging that borders on hair pulling. Many find this action calming when gentle, or arousing when more assertive. It's often incorporated into aftercare or as a way to build connection during other intimate activities.
