I don't mind hugging but some people give the never ending hug. Unless its your partner it starts to get a bit weird after about 4 seconds.I love hugs, I think they are great (but only when done right, a real hug is when people's bodies are pressed against one another), you get to feel the presence and warmth of another person. They provide comfort and a sense of parties being there for one another. It's hard to describe, but they're just great and do so many things. If you were ever hugged by me, you would understand
