How often do you receive affection without

I am fortunate in this dept . However this is an extremely import question., and is actually concerns a project I’m currently working on.

There are many people within our communities ( society as a whole who live a daily existence's which are mired by a lack of demonstrative affection. ‘ touch deprivation’
It’s very sad, unhealthy and leads to emotional scarring. 😔

Not too often. If I'm being honest it takes too much effort to cultivate loving and intimate relationships if you aren't already part of a community or if you haven't created a family.

I'm fortunate I get to experience it often and can count on it. It helps that my partner is the touchy-feely affectionate type. It's something that I don't always think about, but it's actually very important.

I’m not willing to beg for or buy it, but fortunately my family and friends are demonstratively affectionate.
(Or is that "affectionately demonstrative" ?) 🤔

Everyday

Whenever I get up inbox message or happened to bump into somebody and that's 50/50 but honestly I've gotten to the point where it doesn't bother me. I don't beg for shit if you want to show me affection great I'll show it to you if not well here's my middle finger and a smile

Never. My son will begrudgingly hug me these days 😂

My kids when they get here, younger one is still very snuggly

Rare. I have stopped even hoping for it.

Rarely !!

every day, just minutes ago in fact.

Never...it's been years

At least twice per day.
