doesn't live by bread alone. A human being naturally needs physical
contact with other human beings. Our ancestors would pass hours,
examining, scratching and cleaning each other, or simply staying

with friends and relatives. For many, sexual activity is the only
moment of physical contact. And this doesn't favour a stress-free
sex life. The relationship between couples is expected to fill a
very large void, which becomes overloaded with expectations and
anxiety. Cuddling is an essential requirement for living in good
health. It comforts, calms and restores.
