Can a lack of compassionate physical intimacy lead to madness in adults?

We seem to see that:

Uncompassionate physical intimacy in the cases of rape and incest also result in psychosis.

Substitutes in the form of massage are unsatisfactory long term as it is not heartfelt.

Marriages that are sexless break down into divorce.

Self love alone is inadequate

I think there needs to be a minimum level required to sustain sanity.

As humans yes we need physical touch, i believe there have even been many studies on this.

As for the priest, that part is bullshit. Just because someone lacks physical touch doesn’t mean they will become a pedophile.
