‘Touch deprivation’ is a thing (it really is). In today’s fast-paced world, we often forget the importance of human touch, connection, companionship and community. As humans, we need affection and touch and the lack of it leads to what experts variously call ‘touch deprivation’, ‘touch isolation’, or ‘skin hunger’. Even though we have an innate need to connect, many of us frequently feel alone.
It’s possible you’re probably one of the people surrounded by others throughout the day-or in a long-term relationship- but still experience a deep and pervasive loneliness. Men are more likely to suffer from touch deprivation than women because of stronger social prohibitions against even non-sexual, same-sex touching among adult males.
