'''Tactile intensification''' is an overall increase in both the intensity of a person's sense of touch and their awareness of the physical sensations across their body. At its highest level, this becomes extreme enough that the exact location and current sensation of every single nerve ending across one's skin can be felt and comprehended all at once. In contrast, throughout normal sober living, most people can only maintain awareness of the tactile sensations which are relevant to their current situation.

'''~~Enhancement of touch~~''' ~~can be described as~~ an overall ~~enhancement~~ in the intensity of ~~tactile input and the sensations derived from them alongside of an increase in the~~ person's ~~overall~~ awareness of the ~~nerve endings~~ across their body. At its highest level, this ~~progressively~~ becomes ~~more~~ extreme ~~until~~ the exact location and current sensation of every single nerve ending across ~~the tripper~~'s skin can be felt and comprehended all at once. In contrast, throughout normal sober living ~~our immediate consciousness~~ can only maintain awareness of the tactile sensations which are relevant to ~~the~~ current situation.

This can result in ~~the pleasure derived from~~ tactile sensations such as touching, hugging, kissing, and sex becoming greatly enhanced or it can result in an over-sensitivity of the skin which causes the same sensations to become overwhelming and ~~uncomfortable~~.

This effect can result in tactile sensations such as touching, hugging, kissing, and sex becoming greatly enhanced in terms of the pleasure they induce. However, it can also result in an over-sensitivity of the skin which causes the same sensations to become uncomfortable and overwhelming.

Tactile intensification is often accompanied by other coinciding effects such as [[spontaneous bodily sensations]] and [[physical euphoria]]. It is most commonly induced under the influence of [[dosage#common|moderate]] [[dosage|dosages]] of [[psychedelic]] compounds, such as [[LSD]], [[psilocybin]], and [[mescaline]]. However, it can also occur under the influence of [[stimulants|stimulants]], [[cannabinoid|cannabinoids]], and certain [[dissociative|dissociatives]].
