Electrons are emitting and absorbing virtual photons in huge numbers all the 
time. (It's the same thing keeping the electrons in "orbit" around the protons.)

The photons go between the nearby electrons in your arm and in the chair, 
changing the motion of both electrons such that they do not continue getting 
closer to each other.
