Touching in intimate relationships may also be violent at times.  McEwan and Johnson categorize violent touch in relationships into two categories: intimate terrorism and common couple violence.<ref>McEwan, B., and Johnson, S.L. Relational Violence: The Darkest Side of Haptic Communication. The Nonverbal Communication Reader. Ed. L.K. Guerrero and M.L. Hall. 3rd ed. Long Grove, IL: Waveland P, 2008. 232-39.</ref> Intimate terrorism is characterized by an escalating need to control or dominate a relationship with high frequency and severity. Common couple violence, on the other hand, is often a result of minor conflict, is less frequent and severe, and does not escalate over time. These definitions encompass the types of violence within a situation regarding a couple, both intimate terrorism and common couple violence. On a broader spectrum there is also domestic violence that regards all types of violence including emotional, physical, or sexual. But, instead of only in a couple situation, domestic violence is not limited to just that, it also defines situations with any family member or people who live together. This includes roommates as well and also includes different types of abuse such as child, elder, or marital abuse.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Patra |first1=P. |last2=Prakash |first2=Jyoti |last3=Patra |first3=B |last4=Khanna |first4=Puneet |title=Intimate partner violence: Wounds are deeper |journal=Indian Journal of Psychiatry |date=2018 |volume=60 |issue=4 |pages=494–498 |doi=10.4103/psychiatry.IndianJPsychiatry_74_17 |doi-access=free |pmid=30581217 |pmc=6278226 }}</ref>
