Domestic Problems Number Five : Man Hugging

[sifi]

Although this might appear to be exclusively a topic question for the males amongst us, I'm interested to hear what the female efestival community also think on the tricky subject of man-huggery.

[Steve P]

I'm all about the, full on, both arm, back slapping man hug.

[ampersand]

yeah the tapping removes any seriousness from it!

[RABun]

Go for it times have moved on there is no stigmas about the full on hug. I'd even suggest a peck on the cheek if you're good friends.

[jump]

Proper hug, and then call the other guy gay for enjoying it.

go for the full hug! i don't see why any man should have a problem with giving his mate a proper hug.

[Pogues Mcgogues]

I like hugs.

I`m a tactile sort of person (piscean) and like hugs.... but I cant think of one male friend who would be comfortable with such full on hugs.

Maybe a poll on here would be a bit biased because most festie folks are a more open I suppose.

If the poll was conducted in a prison...I`d suggest the results would be very different.

Whilst I dont mind hugs... I would very much draw the line at any touching of genitaia such as ears,neck and cheeks etc unless both parties are of a certain disposition.

Another thing... I always shake hands when I meet someone.

I`m teaching my Boys that its the thing to do..esp when meeting someone older.

I like hand shaking. Young Uns dont/cant shake hands much.

I also desperately could do with a hug now too... raking me hands over My Dog Milosovichs head and belly,although a sort of substitute,isn`t really practical because his knob always seems to be there or thereabouts!

Surely it depends on the situation

E.g when out, and after have a few bourbons and you see a guy you barely know, a full hug is aceptable However walking around the office/uni a nod or grunt is sufficient

I have to say i don't have no qualms about a man hug what so ever providing hands are appropriately placed

I like to grab their arses as well, just for good measure. especially if they are uncomfortable with it.

Thinking about it, I dont manhug much. If I'm wrecked I do.

Full in, no holds barred - and even go the step further and replace the competitive handshake with a who can hug hardest element too.

[Jaybles]

Big close hug.... breath deeply in through your nose....and then whisper in his ear saying "you smell like a warrior"

[MrZigster]

Best left to The French.

Whatever feels right at the time. If you go a bit OTT perhaps a playful punch on the arm afterwards.
