Why Men are Touch Deprived

male suicide rates are increasing it's

gone from about 18 out of a hundred

thousand I think to about 22 out of a

hundred thousand it's on the rise and

what causes this I know it sounds kind

of weird honestly I think a big part

that is underappreciated is homophobia

may say what the hell does homophobia

have to do with male suicide so when I

was growing up everyone was so

homophobic and so what are men not

allowed to do touch each other is a

nation and a society we became so

homophobic that dudes stopped touching

each other and so then what are you left

with the only place that you get touched

is by your mom or by a romantic interest

and why is that screwing up romantic

relations it's screwing up romantic

relations because now let's assume

heteronormative for a second the women

in our life are responsible not only for

our romance but are becoming responsible

for the touch starvation that we have in

all of the other dimensions in their

life in our lives and so now this woman

is responsible for fulfilling all of my

touch needs because I'm not allowed to

touch another man
