I consider safe touch to be any touch that is wanted and doesn't hurt in any way; not emotionally or physically. I also agree that it is safe if it has no way of leading to sex, but I understand that there is safe sexual touch...it does exist...just not for me.
It is difficult though, because someone, like a husband or partner could be wanting to touch us with the most purest intentions, but if we are in a dark place and don't want that touch it can become a not safe touch.
Communication is paramount. If we all communicate with each other when we know that touch can be an issue, we could alleviate some of the hurt that can come with touch, and make it more therapeutic for ourselves.
