COLLEGE PARK, MD––According to a new study, tender, loving care (TLC) can both reduce pain and promote pleasure. The study was published online on January 17 in the journal Social Psychological & Personality Science by University of Maryland psychologist Kurt Gray, PhD.

He explained that the results of his study confirm that good intentions, even misguided ones, can sooth pain, increase pleasure and make things taste better.
