Most people at some time in their lives will suffer from skin deprivation. To me this simply means the lack of human touch. From reading I have done (I do a lot) this is especially devasting to babies, who fail to thrive, perhaps even to survive when not held often. Babies cry for a reason, sometimes that reason is simply because they want/need to be held. I don't think we spoil babies when we pick them up and hold them, if we did I would have had the most spoiled children.

As a 70 something woman I have known a lot of people who have or are now suffering from lack of touching (skin deprivation). I am very fortunate woman because my family is a very huggy bunch, perhaps because as babies they were held so much. As people get older, especially if they live alone, there is less opportunity of getting hugged or held. When I was working in the mental health field I made it a point to give everyone a hug at the beginning or end of a session, unless that person was uncomfortable being touched. I really learned something through doing that, even men and women who were sometimes stiff as a board the first time I hugged them, came to look forward to that hug at the end of their session and many even intitated it or waited for it. I realized then that for some of these people this could be the only human touch they were experiencing. It was sometimes the beginning of getting well mentally and even physically for many people.
It seems to me that this is more of a problem for men than women. For whatever reason women feel comfortable hugging other women, whereas men find this more difficult. No matter how old we get there is a part of us, the infant part that hopefully never goes away, craves human touch.
