HUGS

Do you think that hugs have a primal connection to anything sexual?

No, I think hugs are more connected to our need to be comforted, just like animals show their affection by licking other animals, or humans. And babies need to be touched early on to grow up healthy. I dont think its sexual

i think you are stoned

i concur

I love hugging people. It really does make me feel really good. There can be sexual hugs and there can be non-sexual hugs.

if your both naked

no hugs definently arent a sexual thing, think about when you hug or hugged your mom......yeah now you know what im sayin

I agree with Mojavpa to a certain extent. I think that hugs have developed into something more sexual than they originally were. But i'm pretty sure that, like Mojapva said, they originated from the need to be comforted or to feel safe, the same way that baby monkeys cling to their mothers bellies.

I think that in Western culture people become uncomfortable being touched or hugged by acquaintences or friends, especially if they're being touched by members of the same sex. So because of that, I can see why being hugged would be considered sexual in western countries, since contact is considered most normal between lovers. Being Indian and having traveled to the middle East, people are so much more "touchy" in these cultures. They'll immediately put an arm around you, kiss you, and they're just more affectionate all around, even if you're a stranger. It took me a while to get used to it, and because I really dont consider myself being in touch with my culture as much as other South Asians, I'm still not that comfortable with these practices.

I'm fucked up right now and cant tell if this post made sense or not!!!!! Some feedback would be appreciated because I dont want to make an asshole out of myself!!
