Touch is my love language, but there's only a couple of people I like it from. The rest I put up with because it's a formality.

I rarely get hugs except for formalities. I get maybe a hug or two a week from H at most. But we do cuddle once or twice a week. I get the most hugs from L: hello and goodbye. But we also hold hands every session.

I know research has shown that touch is extremely important especially to babies and to elderly. But we often forget it's important for adults too. But a specific number of hugs... I couldn't and wouldn't want it.

There used to be hug clinics? where you could go and hug or cuddle with a person. I wouldn't do massages from a stranger let alone get a hug or cuddle!
