We are born with an intense hunger for touch.
Children require loving touch in order to develop socially and physically. Studies show baby monkeys who were deprived of both food and the touch of a mother and then had the choice of food or touch. The poor, lonely, baby monkeys chose touch over food. Humans are no different in our need for touch.
Yet, most people, and more especially MEN, don't receive touch as often as they would like —maybe it’s because you’re afraid of being rejected as being needy or vulnerable. Do you find yourself covering your need for intimacy with work, activities, TV, food, drugs and alcohol?
Are you one of these ?
You might also be interested to know touch produces a chemical reaction in your body - Oxytocin (the love hormone). You experience the effects of oxytocin when you enjoy good food, or a massage, or an intimate interlude.
When men lack touch in their lives this can result in it expressing itself in other ways thru the body.
The body speaks when we do not have words for what we are feeling. The hunger for touch may and does manifest as depression, anxiety, irritability, boredom, pain, moodiness as well as make you feel isolated, separate and lonely.
You may not be aware but it can come out in ways in which you do not want. And if you don’t clear this need it can upset MANY aspects of your day or work week. Life is stressful enough than to make it worse in that way. No?
Touch increases physical wellness: a hug lowers blood pressure, heart rate, reduces stress/anxiety, strengthens your immune system. And most important of all, touch allows life to flow.
