Skin hunger happens when people go without physical human contact for long periods. When I said I went without sex for a decade, what I didn’t say was I went without intimacy and affection too.We didn’t snuggle, hug, hold hands, or touch each other in any caring way. Once the kids grew up, I was alone. I had no one to snuggle, hold or tuck in. The loneliness withered my spirit.

Boy, did I feel skin hunger too. I longed for skin to skin contact. That is what I crave most in any affair.
