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.

I agree with a lot of your statement, if I were to edit I would suggest leaving the part out Catholicism and pedophilia. Correlation and causation are two different things and I don't have stats on hand about paedophilia at large in society, versus the priests to really form an opinion.
