A behavioral scientist examines love, belongingness, and fulfillment, highlighting how modern technology can both aid and obstruct our need for connection. Many people worldwide are missing the physical, emotional, and intellectual intimacy they desire. Although technology allows us to connect with more individuals than ever, these interactions may not satisfy our deeper longings. The isolation from the pandemic has intensified feelings of loneliness. The author investigates what she terms our intimacy famine, delving into why relationships conducted through technological means often leave us yearning for physical closeness. She notes that with most interactions occurring on social media, we receive small dopamine hits instead of the substantial oxytocin boosts that come from in-person relationships. Intimacy encompasses more than just sex, although that is a significant aspect. Research indicates that millennials, potentially distracted by dating apps, are having less sex than earlier generations. The author discusses various topics, including the rise of pandemic puppies, professional cuddlers, the significance of touch, and "desire discrepancy" in marriages. She argues that online dating may overwhelm users with choices and that the internet can facilitate infidelity-related behaviors. While some technological advancements can foster intimate relationships, others may lead to disconnection, prompting a thorough exploration
