We have the no touch rule, unless the PNM initiates it. It mostly applies to the beginning of the week, by the end, the ladies are more comfortable, and causual touching, like patting an arm or something is allowed. We were all taugh to "push the bubble" when bringing a PNM into the House. Since we can't touch them to lead them anywhere, you put your hand behind their back on their "bubble" and push them in the directiony you need to go. Works every time. By pref, you can tell if it's ok for you to touch a PNM, but they pretty much still have to initiate hugs, or at the least, a mutual thing.

We all thought the rule was strange, but there are people out there who don't like to be touched by strangers, so this is the easiest way to fix that. People who want to touch will, so it all works out.
