It depends! While the more intimate forms of contact can reduce Discord more quickly, the actual core mechanic isn't about the touch itself. It's more about being vulnerable with someone else and the extent of time during which that vulnerability is taking place. So for example, for some people holding hands would be just as effective as kissing could be for another. Though in general, touching a Shard directly will be the quickest way to remove Discord, but per the Shard mechanics, that might not be the most comfortable process for the person. AKA we leave it up to each pair OOC to decide, since the accumulation and removal of Discord isn't strictly tracked in the first place.
