The Power Of Touch

I just finished reading the book Power of touch and in a way this book has changed my perception of communication. Prior to encountering this book , touch was a subject of taboo for me and I would not have imagined myself talking about touching. Phillis K Davis talks about this term "skin hunger" and how our bodies have a necessity for touching. The sad thing about our society is that we have been deprived of this basic need for too long because touch is regarded synonymously with sexual intercourse.
