🎙️ Episode 8 – Starved for Touch: The Hidden Hunger in Men
When was the last time you had a real hug—not a side tap or a handshake, but meaningful, human touch?
In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most overlooked parts of men’s emotional health: physical affection. We explore why so many men are touch-starved, how culture teaches us to fear softness, and what happens when we go without this basic human need.
From childhood conditioning to sports culture, from silent suffering to reclaiming brotherhood—we unpack the invisible weight of “skin hunger” and how to break the silence around it.
We also share practical steps for reconnecting through healthy, non-sexual affection and challenge men to reach out—literally and emotionally.
