Is it okay to hug...??

Is giving somebody a hug to be avoided nowadays?
In what sphere is it permissable and when is it a complete no- no?

You can hug your own kids if they need lifesaving surgery. All other hugs are gratuitous

Hugging is always acceptable, especially complete strangers love it if you randomly grab them for hugs in the street. Al Porter told me so.

I wouldn’t do it any more. I’ve stopped. Sometimes my customers give me hugs and I USED to give hugs, not any more.
I also used to do little things ( grasp a hand etc) to physically comfort distressed customers, not any more.
I’m a 52 year old female.

Hugs are great. A proper hug. Little moments of intimacy. In that sense, they should be completely natural and not forced by either party.

Whenever I hug a lady who is not my wife, I feel like I am cheating on her a little. It rarely happens mind you.

I do feel awkward when the other person is more into it.

I hug my male friends all the time. Especially when drunk.

My definition of uncomfortable: somebody crying in your workforce when you're the only person there. A good hug is an instinctive response, but not appropriate in a working environment so it's just this tense "Oh fúck, what do I do here to show compassion but remain aloof/professional?'.

Please try and hold it together.

My clients are mad for hugs. I get at least one hug a day.

Remember Barney the Dinosaur hugging the kids. Creepy as hell.

Get thee hence, huggers.

Drunk random huggers are creepy ...

Nothing like a barstool around the old noggin to put them straight ...

General rule of thumb re. hugging, if you have an erection, don't.

I don't think I was hugged enough as a child because I genuinely do not like hugs.

I was in the window of a coffee shop today and saw a woman run up the street and spun another woman around and gave her a massive hug. It was like they were old friends or something. 'Twas a lovely sight indeed, so it was. Hugs are one of the best things in life.

I always thought i was only cheating when i stuck my cock in another woman. I don't feel as bad now.

It rarely happens mind you.

It's not cheating as long as she is the one that sticks it in. That's my motto anyways!

What? Sticking your cock in a woman?

I only hug people to make them feel awkward.

Hugs are so last year, it's all about a good tug nowadays

I saw a young lad holding up a sign saying 'free hugs' a few years ago. He asked me if I wanted a hug. I didn't because

1) I was in my mid thirties at the time and didn't want to hug a male teenager like a weirdo

2) I was afraid the little fucker would pick my pockets

You touch me and I cut you.

Share hugs, don't take hugs.

Both my parents were hug addicts. All their friends were addicted to hugs too.
It nearly destroyed my life.
No child should have to go through that.
