Have you heard of "skin hunger?" It is the experience of being deprived of affectionate touch. Yes, it is an actual term, and comes from the fact that just like food, water, sleep and sex, physical affection is also a need. And when our skin is deprived of it, it is quite literally hungry for some touchy-feely love! Let's get this out of the way first: physical demonstration of one's love for others goes beyond sexual touch (Read more about why it's important, on our website here). It is the way your mother hugs you when you're stressed out, or when your friend holds your hand as you cry your heart out, or when your boyfriend strokes the small of your back on his way to the kitchen. It's a way of telling someone that you see them, and love them, through the body. Because of cultural norms, individual inhibitions and traits, or circumstances, many people are deprived of this subtle but reassuring way of receiving affection. One would think that the lack would have an emotional and psychological impact (and it does), but it takes a toll on more than just the mind. Skin hunger is a physical need, and when it is not satiated, the affects are physical too. According to a study with 509 subjects, conducted by psychologist Kory Floyd, lack of affection can cause not just significant health issues, but also social and interpersonal problems. People who don't get their dose of affectionate touch seem less happy, more lonely, and have a higher likelihood of suffering from depression, mood and anxiety disorders, as well as secondary immune disorder. To be clear, skin hunger doesn't necessarily cause the above, but there seems to be a high correlation between the two. We know that hugging, cuddling, and other forms of touch release oxytocin and dopamine, hormones associated with attachment and happiness. We know that it is important for a mother to hold her baby close within an hour of being born, because it kicks off hormones that help with bonding. We also know that the body and mind are deeply connected, and the state of one affects the other. So, it isn't unreasonable to assume that if physical touch has all the aforementioned benefits, its absence probably has some adverse affects.

Who lives longer married or single?

The death rate was 1,735 per 100,000 for lifelong bachelors and 1,773 for divorced men. Married women had a death rate of 569 per 100,000, two-and-a-half times lower than the 1,482 rate for widows.

THURSDAY, Oct. 10, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Married folks not only live longer than singles, but the longevity gap between the two groups is growing, U.S. government health statisticians report. The age-adjusted death rate for the married declined by 7% between 2010 and 2017, according to a new study from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Not only is the rate for married lower, but it's declining more than any other group," said lead author Sally Curtin, an NCHS statistician. Statistically, death rate is the annual number of deaths for every 100,000 people. It's adjusted so that a 26-year-old and an 80-year-old married or widowed or divorced are on equal footing. The new study reported that the death rate for never-marrieds declined only 2%, while that for divorced people hasn't changed at all. Worst off were the widowed, for whom the death rate rose 6%. They have the highest death rate of all the categories, researchers said.
