https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s%E2%80%931990s_Romanian_orphans_phenomenon Orphans whose physical needs were met, but not their need for physical human contact were severely growth-stunted. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harry_Harlow Monkey experiments -- surprising results about monkeys who were sensually deprived. http://www.violence.de/ THE ORIGINS OF PEACE AND VIOLENCE Deprivation of Physical Affection as a Main Cause of Depression, Aggression and Drug Abuse No-one would publish this. Finally, the Journal of Atomic Scientists accepted it for publication. The author lost his job after publishing this article. Americans just love to beat their kids! Due to "pedosteria" touch had become stigmatized. This has lead to children (and adults, too) lacking normal human bodily contact. The idiots who originally spread the hysteria: "We have to save the children from having their private parts touched!"...eventually realized their mistake. Now they are backpedaling and pointing out the importance of touch, and encouraging it. But it's now too late. Google: importance of touch for children ...and you'll get a lot of articles about the importance of touch to mental health. It's much harder to find articles linking "pedosteria" to the rise of "touchphobia" because of all the noise about (supposed) "harms of child sexual abuse". I'm sure I've got articles, but finding them would take me a lot of time, and I'm busy and I don't know if you are serious. M. You're lucky I bothered to provide you this information. No-one else here would (or even could).
