Question of the Day: Day 238

How important is physical touch in a person's life? Can we live a quality life without it?

Yes! Touching is one of the most important things necessary for humans to maintain healthy emotional equilibrium. This is why we, as Americans, need to give more hugs. We don't touch enough and we suffer for it.

Give six hugs a day to keep the doctor away.

I believe that we can die
if deprived of touch...
Every once in a while, I
demand my space- I find
sensuality in performing
a gentle body trace...

Hugs, pecks, massages, & the like are good among mankind, "gooder" when between friends, "goodest" when shared with someone you absolutely love.

p.s.

Most of us can NOT thrive without emotional connection & tender carresses.

very important. when watching my son, i realize how really important it is. He touches everything, and loves to be hugged and touched.

quality life without it. not really. i think you would feel less alive if you didnt have some type of contact.

wow, well i honstley think there is no possible way we as humanbeings with all the emotions we come with would be able to live without touch. when your feeling down of excited you want to hug everyone or someone wants to hug you and if we werent able to do so we would be confused.. i am not sure i am explaing this right...let me say it like this we were givin the feeling to touch and feel so why not use it in a postive way.

We cannot be healthy without physical contact of the loving kind.
