Here goes to hugging
Earlier this year, there was the discussion about kissing and that it shouldn't be done. Even so kissing initiates puberty.
Now, here goes hugging.
Hugging is not sexual sensation, but it might lead to it, dependent on the intention. But 999 out of 1,000, it is a sign of empathy.
Here the definition from Wikipedia that says that "hugging is gently enclosing the arms around the trunk of each other." It continues with "A man and a woman who are friends may avoid physical intimacy to avoid associations with sexuality (for example if one or both have a relationship with someone else)."
Here we go.
By the way, is this hugging?
