actually, it is mostly physiological need as well as psychological. Any time you touch or get touched, your skin has sensors and nerve endings that send a "signal" to your brain, stimulating specific parts, releasing endorphants which make you feel either good or bad (depending on the nature of the touch -- caress vs. abuse). This is your body's way of telling you -- your skin is part of you, i'm here and alive, and need to let you know it.
