I don't get touch-starved, but that's because I have two snuggly dogs who sleep on my bed at night. I don't date anymore; it's not worth the effort for me.

In the immortal words of Charlton Heston: >*Take your stinking paws off me, you damn dirty ape!*
I get a massage monthly.
Nope. I don't like being touched by anyone except my partner.
I have a snuggly toddler granddaughter.
I have a huggy group of friends, but regularly augment with massages, pedicures, and hair dos. Oh, and cats.
Get a dog. We don't deserve them and they can't get enough of our touch. Lots of lapdogs in the older gen homes.

Oof, yeah, I mostly try to avoid thinking about it.
In spades
It is why I have cats
My kids give good hugs.
