I'm with you on this one OP. Hugs release oxytocin which makes you feel good. I miss hugs SO much since my partner died. I get them from the grandchildren but that's not the same as being enveloped in a great big bear hug from a great big bloke. Sigh.

Me too. My family are pretty allergic to hugs, and I’m single, so unless I find a fwb, physical contact is minimal
