Many men are deeply touch-deprived and have been for years. They may have friends, jobs, relationships, families, and still carry a quiet ache for safe, nourishing, uncomplicated touch.
Not necessarily sexual touch. Not touch that demands anything. Not touch that has to lead somewhere.
Just touch that says: you can rest now.
This longing is human. It is not needy or strange. It is part of being alive in a body.
