It may well be worth your while to inquire into this - next time you notice yourself craving affection, bring your attention into your body and notice what you're feeling, where you might be feeling tight and tense, and allow those areas to relax and breathe. There's often some sort of trauma at the root of such desires, and being present with ourselves in this way can start to heal it (it may also start to make us conscious of just how much feeling we've been bottling up, but this is just part of the process, as concerning as it may initially be).
That's not to say, by the way, that there's necessarily anything wrong with desiring intimacy, just that it depends on what sort of place the desire is arising from - if it's coming from a needy place, say, it's almost certainly going to cause issues in the relationship (eg. codependency) at some point.
