Why TOUCHY/FEELY Works
TOUCHY/FEELY uses conversation prompts and guided touch to strengthen how people experience emotional and physical intimacy. Each card invites you to regulate your nervous system, communicate from a safe place, and practice being fully present — whether that’s with a partner, friend, or even yourself.
This method, grounded in Candace’s Love + Communication Coaching, helps you:
- Release communication anxiety.
- Build confidence expressing your needs.
- Create space for pleasure, play, and authenticity.
How to Play
- Draw a card from a level that matches your comfort.
- One player answers.
- Others rate the vulnerability of the verbal answer on a scale of 1-5 — 1 if the answer feels closed off, up to 5 if the answer is revealing. You are judging the authenticity of the information being offered.
- Check the Emotional Conversion Card to match the physical action connected to the average emotional rating of the players.
- Group chooses which erogenous zone listed at the bottom of the card read from will be touched.
- Answerer creatively touches the raters based on the appropriation of the individual relationships of the players and with respect to the environment playing.
Each round moves you closer to understanding your own nervous-system cues and your partner’s — making connection feel more natural, not forced.
