Posted: 4/24/2007 11:51:23 AM | I wish I was more tactile. I love hugging men and I will hug women on special occasions but never really feel comfortable with it. My mother didnt hug me much apart from when I was little so perhaps it stems from that. | |

Posted: 4/24/2007 12:05:30 PM | | I love to be hugged. The bigger the bear hug, the better I feel. I hug my children, grand children and my friends. If I give mum a hug, it is very light and at a distance, for a minimal amount of time, then she moves away. I think that is why I have gone the opposite and need loadzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, but have no-one to give me the kind I need.......................awwwwwww | |

Posted: 4/24/2007 12:43:45 PM | | Guess I'm one of the luckier ones. I was encouraged to hug and show affection by my family all my life. I am almost 40 and still hug my mum and kiss her goodnight each time I go and visit her. I hug my kids constantly and we're always snuggling together watching telly. I hug my friends. I hug my female neighbours and thei kids. It comes naturally to me. | |

Posted: 4/24/2007 1:34:52 PM | It depends..
I grew up my whole life knowing I was loved by my parents and through some stuff that happend I withdrew from that as a kid. Now as I'm older and at peace with myself I love hugs but some people I am a lot more huggy with than others. With some people it seem a natural thing and with others it feels a bit awkward.
Fromteh people I talk to on here regualarly I already knwo which ones I'd feel natural hugging :)
I guess that openly lovable and genuine ones make me want to hug em | |

Posted: 4/24/2007 2:04:10 PM | I like to hug - just can't bring myself to approach people to do it.
Some of my friends are good as they know this and always make it easy for me.
Hope I get a few hugs at the next Derby/Notts meet.  Peeps will know me a bit better then.
In fact, I could do with a hug now after a s**t day. But nobody here.  | |

Love hugs, My family were not good huggers until my kids were born...my kids hug when they say hello and goodbye..not strangers of course but friends and family...so now we are all huggers....
A hug can mean an awful lot to someone without you knowing it... | |

Posted: 4/24/2007 4:33:57 PM | I love to hug people. They can be the best medicine sometimes. A hug when you're feeling low or hugging someone for comfort. Or just becasue they are there, and you want to show them you're a freind.
and if i'm on me own and feeling a bit down and theres no one around, well i'll give me dog a hug instead, cos they appreciate them too. :) | |

Posted: 12/31/2008 11:04:23 PM | i love hugs and cuddles and cant get enough of them.
Its great when you give someone a big hug and you can feel all thier tension fade away as they relax. And vice versa being hugged when your down is great as i relax and de tense. Pus when its a person you are close to the emotional warmth from a hug or cuddle is about as close to someone as you can get. | |

Posted: 12/31/2008 11:47:13 PM | Oh yes!!! i love Hugging,i am a very tactile person anyway,even the feeling of brushing past someone i care about makes me all fuzzy and warm inside!
being hugged is just as sensual as being snogged,if it's with someone you care an awful lot about,but even being hugged by friends,male or female is a great feeling,it's letting the other person you have an emotional bond with them,even if that bond is'nt a more romantic one.
i believe my love of hugging came from being quite neglected as a child,asking for a cuddle was like asking parents to fly to the moon,they just looked at me as if i was speaking an alien language to them,so every chance i get to hug someone i grab it with both hands! or should that be arms??????? | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 12:40:59 AM | I was never hugged by my parents when I was a child and I talked to my mother about it a few years back. She was mortified that I felt that way and has ever since hugged me every chance we get.
I have a friend at work and she was not used to hugging either. After more then 5 years of constant hugg bombardment by me she is finaly getting the hang of it. Great stuff.
Nothing much else says: "I care for you" quite like a hugg.
Be physical people and embrace your inner hugger. It is good for you. | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 1:11:47 AM | I love hugs just as much as the next person, I do however like my own space too and get quite uncomfortable and claustrophobic if someone is just in my aura and wont leave me alone.
This one guy I dated used to be like my Siamese twin, always hugging and stuff, it was great at first but then it just got to the point where I just ended up giving him a little pat on the back and sloping off to the other side of the room to get some space.
I do like hugs but I don't like to feel like I'm wearing the person
Anyone else understand where I'm coming from on this point or is it just me being a miserable cow??? lol | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 2:56:01 AM | Ohhhhh yessssssss!!! I adore hugging! Especially with my sweetheart,the feeling of his arms around me .......yummy!
I'm really really tactile and love hugging as much as kissing and things.Its such a warm feeling holding someone close and hugging them into your heart.Friends,my kids,my colleagues and my fella.My fella will have more hugs than he can handle ....
My mother never hugged me as a child but my grandparents did and i think thats where i got the hugging bug from as i was closest to them familywise.
P.S...Abbie...i know what you meant .........here chick,this is for you
EDIT:OooOOo thanks chick! Was lurvely XxX | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 3:09:25 AM | My family have never been the huggy/kissy type, and in fact a hug has not gone between me and my father since I was probably 8 and cannot rememeber ever hugging my older sister or brother. Last night as our family gathered for fireworks at midnight, not one of us hugged, we just all raised and chinked our glasses! Despite this, we are the closest of families that I know. We all know we can trust each other and spend loads of time together even holidays...
In contrast to this I know several friends and families who are extremely huggy with each other, but slag each other off constantly and are always falling out for weeks even months over the most trivial of matters, which in our family would be overlooked and laughed off due to not wanting to spoil the good relationships we have with each other.
Happy New Year everyone!!  | |

Almost identical with me. My parents did not hug me much and for long I was the only child, I was very spoiled but no hugs. Except from grandma and grandpa.
Same as you, I told my mum about not hugging us and she denied it..
I hug my son very often, he is a big baby | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 4:03:14 AM | I was never hugged by my parents or anyone else growing up- my father has recently started this 'lets freak her out by hugging her' thing- shudder... I dont mind hugging but I can be creeped out by unannounced hugs.... long story...
edited to say I DO hug my son like crazy though... | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 4:19:22 AM | Just to add to my post above as for some reason there wasnt an edit option even before the 15 mins was up?
I honestly believe this hugging business is over rated. There is more than one way to demonstrate how you love and care for one another. Just because you were not hugged as a child doesn't automatically mean your parent didn't love you properly....to feel this way could be doing your parent a great injustice. How sad that some feel the need to pull them up on it? You KNOW when you were loved, I would never question my parents over it, I dont feel the need. | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 4:37:13 AM | Coming from a male dominated big family any signs of this type of affection in my family are definately a no no and probably seen as a sign of softness.
There has always been this awkwardness also with my mother when I say goodbye to her when she leaves my company, so a peck on the cheek usually suffices as I know she would be mortified being embraced.
Her parents were the same with her .........the victorian stiff upper lip has much to answer for !!
Ok virtual hugs then .........

Posted: 1/1/2009 4:57:46 AM | Hugging? Ah, what?? Love it. I don't know where I got it from, since I grew up in an all-male household and we just didn't do it. I must just have the hug chromosome I guess.
Nothing like wrapping your arms right round someone, and there are times I wish I had the arms of a gibbon (rather than the face of one) so I could wrap em round someone twice around. I tend to stroke the back, too, for some reason.
Me and bro have started hugging over recent years and I for one wish we'd been doing it all our lives. | |

Posted: 1/1/2009 6:57:25 AM | extacy culture introduced several things to this country, which were unheard of prior to rave culture:
a)blokes hugging
b)sharing water with strangers
c)increase in alcopop sales
d)decrease in football hooliganism
hugs are alright with me.
but that said, men in different cultures dont just hug their mates, they hold hands in some African countries. | |
