Gentle Reminder: You’re soft and pure and deserve respect.

it’s not a sexual thing and is actually pretty important since humans are social creatures

“Human touch has been proven to be vital to emotional, psychological, and physical growth in infants and to some extent in older children and adults.”

“Skin hunger is your body’s reaction to lack of physical touch and it affects an increasing number of Americans while being a non existent phenomenon in more touch-happy countries like France. The problem that we’re learning is that without skin-to-skin touch (might we add that it doesn’t have to be sexual), your body doesn’t produce the hormone oxytocin. Without that natural chemical, adults are more susceptible to depression and infants can have developmental problems or even die.”

“Hugs have also been shown to increase the production of oxytocin in humans; this is the hormone that positively influences our bonding and nurturing behaviors.”
