Today is apparently National Hugging Day in the USA ( Don't know how widespread it is worldwide ) I do agree a hug feels good ..especially when things are not going so well or you meet up with old friends or family. I do have to wonder though, as a male and with all the cases / claims of sexual assault this past year if its wise for a guy - or woman - to go around just giving hugs!. There is a time and a place for everything. I doubt I'll be giving / receiving a bunch of hugs today at work !! ..

It's a shame men in particular have to be so much more careful about their behaviour. We don't have a 'hug' day here. There seems to be a day for everything nowadays.

@Luap1050 I am not sure it would go down so well in some parts. For example, someone might decide to slide a knife in as I am hugging them and rob me!

I'm a hugger, but not if I sense the other person is not. You're right that men especially these days have to be more cautious.
