Some days I think I need more than a hug to get me by...a nice tall glass of napalm and paint thinner would sure numb the pain

That would largely depend upon the type of hug in question. Are we talking a hug between two humans... or one of them there face hugs? Face hugs are not good for my health, as they aren't for anyone else either.

yes everyday. We would all live a lot longer if we all got a daily hug.

I am not a hugger and once made my late partner cry when I told her a story. I was 35 and living in Germany. I was home on vacation and went to the airport to return to Europe. My mom hugged me and said "I love you". I wondered what was going on as this had never happened before. I came from a family of 7 kids and we were a freerange family. We showed affection by calling each other names and hitting on the arm. I do like to hug some I am close to but even friends and especially strangers I find it uncomfortable to hug.

I don't really like touching. How about a really affectionate hand squeeze?

Definitely

Yes or a couple of dogs who give their love every time they see you.;

Oh yes, I would say every day

YES! I'm a very touch-feely person and was also brought up in a huggy family. I think I have both nature and nurture going for me in this regard. I definitely miss tactile stimulation. My kids are 17 and 19 so they obviously don't love on me anymore. I could just kick myself for every time I thought "I just want 5 minutes where no one is touching me" when they were little.

Thankfully I have a very snuggly pup.

We need 6 a day to keep us stable. Thank Darwin for the dog.

My vote would be for every day - whether it be from family, friend, human, pet or ourselves!
