5 Reasons Why You Carve For Skin Hunger

Humans suffer from something known as skin hunger. This is nothing but a longing to be touched by a loved one. Yes, it occurs due to deprivation of loving touch. Nowadays, as technology hijacked our minds, the physical and emotional distance between people is increasing.

This distance is giving rise to 'touch hunger' or 'skin hunger'. This kind of hunger is not lust or craving to be in bed with someone.

1. Alone

Statistics claim that almost every three people out of four tend to suffer this kind of lack in their lives at some point of time. Today, the loneliness has increased.

2. Heartbreak

After a breakup, it is natural to feel the void especially when one misses the hug or the touch of the loved one. Also, a parent who constantly carries the baby in the arms may start missing the baby once the child starts going to school. In the same way, skin hunger tends to increase when one is deprived of the loving touch of a loved one.


3. Depression

Skin hunger is a serious issue as it could gradually lead to depression, stress, frustration, loneliness and ill-health if it isn't addressed in the long run.

4. Life

Those who are affected by skin hunger for a very long time could fail to develop good social bonds, relationships and may also fail in expressing their emotions.

5. Video Call

If you are already in a relationship, relying too much on connecting on the phone could gradually increase the distance. The need to touch each other should be fulfilled on regular intervals.
