I genuinely cannot recall the last time a foid(non family-member ofc) had any actual, initiated, physical contact with me: In fact, the last time I had any kind of physical contact with a foid, was many months back when our hands kind of "grazed" each other at work when she handed me something. Doesn't even really count, since it wasn't a form of initiated contact, it just happened by pure chance.
Everyday, I think to myself something along the lines of "I wish I could just get a hug," I don't care if I sound like a weakling, cuck, or whatever, I'm just that deprived of a literal necessity for human function.
In fact, according to some basic research, hugs are literally essential for psychological growth:
So not only am I missing out on something that would help me depression & achieve some semblance of "mental stability," but I literally am being, and have had, my psychological development stunted.
And once again, science just reaffirms what we say: Being touch-starved is enough to cause mental decay.

In fact, according to some basic research, hugs are literally essential for psychological growth:
Hanning described findings that four hugs per day was an antidote for depression, eight hugs per day would achieve mental stability and twelve hugs per day would achieve real psychological growth. If this is the case, touch has a greater significance than most of us would realise.
Four hugs a day using therapeutic touch - PubMed
Imagine a prescription which prescribed four hugs per day to a patient suffering from depression. Hanning described findings that four hugs per day was an antidote for depression, eight hugs per day would achieve mental stability and twelve hugs per day would achieve real psychological growth...
