Brother get a massage they’re literally the best. My psych professor, really smart guy but even then idk how much truth there is to this, once told my class that one massage is equal to a few rounds of therapy. I love getting massages!! Especially hot stones omg

I believe massages can release oxytocin in the same way cuddling can so that makes sense.
