*I am an asian who grew up in an international surrounding. My western friends(as in American, Australian, European..Etc..) and I give hugs all the time in any occasion.I mean, we give hugs whenever we meet! We give hugs when we're sad or lonely or happy...etc!!! What I really don't understand is why my asian friends cannot do that!!! I know it's not considered proper and stuff but it seriously can't kill them! Recently I had this chinese friend who was down in the dumps because of some problems and I just gave her a hug!!She was surprised but I could tell she felt better after that. So, to all you asians out there... don't be shy!!! Give a hug today!!!

*My father died about 12 hours ago at the age of 77. Not only was he a great hugger, but he had hug coupons printed up and would hand them out to everyone he met. They say "Good for one Free Hug." Many people would redeem the coupons on the spot with one of Dad's hugs. Others would hold on to the coupons and when feeling down would go to my father, hand in their Hug Coupon, and get one of the most supportive hugs there could be. Japan has been home for me for many years, and when Dad last visited here two years ago, he kept copying his Hug Coupons for my friends and kept hugging away, very unusual here because Japanese do not hug in public. He went back to the States and told all his friends that he had the Japanese hugging. I'll miss his hugs. But just having found this sight and sharing this about Dad makes me feels like one of his hugs often made me feel, nice and warm.

*I've got together with my boyfriend for several weeks. He is my first boyfriend as well. A few days ago, we kissed and necked the first time. I don't see why -- those hugs involved didn't seem to be enjoyable to me. Maybe it was due to that they were inter-related with necking. Just giving me a feeling of sex but not true love. Next day, I told him I couldn't accept the pace and luckily he show tanding. Then when we met on another day, he just hugged me from my back. That hug was so natural, sweet & affectionate. What I wanna express is that sometimes a pure hug would be far more favourable than a hug which is to be the prelude of necking or sexual activity. ENJOY YOUR AFFECTIONATE HUGS, PLEASE!! ^_^

*It was the last time I was going to see my boyfriend Mak before he went off to college and I went to camp. It was at the movies and I was really feeling sad. As we were leaving, he gave me one of the most wonderful hugs I have ever recieved. Unfortunately, our relationship didn't last long, but we are still good friends. Even though I don't see him anymore, we talk a lot in the phone and we are still good friends.

*My mom died in October the whole time we were at the cemetary, my boyfriend held on to me and gave so many HUGS. When he comes in from work he hugs me and when I go home at nite I get a hug and a kiss. His are special; to me it makes me feel good inside and so does when my mom hugged

*This is one of the "koolest" I´have ever comeupon. Thanks for sharing yor your hugging experiences with me. I would like to share my story be free to send me a letter if there is a place for one. address:dn@itn.is

*My guy friend and I started giving each other hugs, just a way to say "I love yo u." Well, things happened and soon the hugs were more than friendly... right no w he's visiting family in another state and I miss him, but he keeps those Cyber Hugs coming, and it eases some of the pain. Hugs can help make sense out of som e of the most confusing feelings... I'm glad we have them. Hug the world, every body!

*Hugs are great and everyone needs at least 4 a day to "survive", 8 a day will ke ep you "well", and 12 a day will make you ecstatic!!! The best hugs are tight s queezes of long durations... but soft gentle cuddles are great , too!!! Hug-A- Bunch !

*I love to hug.But as a Malaysian, hugging is not a normal to do. I love to hug my mamma and dearest sister, Fuzi.I hug them when I am happy, sad...well..any oc casions. I really want to hug my dad to say my appreciation. But, I'm afraid he wouldn't like it.... sometimes hugging is followed by a kiss...As I hug my mamma , she always kiss me on my forehead...

*I am the person who gives hugs. Joey and his friend came over the other day. Joey felt like crying because he was fired. So after leaving him alone an hour, i gave him a big hug. He smiled and things were better then.

*From the first time I met a great friend of mine, I felt an amazing connection. Whenever I'd see her, we'd give each other a big, warm, meaningful hug. Whenever we'd part, we would do the same. Hugging had added so much to our friendship.

*The reason I enjoy hugging so much is the warmpth that is created by two people who care about one another so much;) A strong, firm hug is by far the most moving and passionate of all affectionate touches that can be exchanged between two people that have already established a relationship. Such a hug might also indicate a shift or willingness to shift to a higher level of relationship when given or received from a person whom you currently have an insignificant relationship...right now reach out and give someone you know a great big hug to let them know what they mean to you.{}

*This is only a preliminary contact, not a full story of hugging: sorry for this novelty. I first bumped to a hugging site in the net today, and I'm amused. Personally I and my fiancee enjoy immensely of hugging: each other, our cats, our friends and a special old tree growing among the younger ones just about a 50 m away from our swimming site. Several years ago we released the tree from agony:it was suffocating because of an ancient fish-net forgotten in growing in the trunk. Now it waves us every time we see each other, winter or summer. And everytime we are around, we go to hug it - and receive blessings.

*I am a single mother of four kids, and almost six years ago, after a very painfu l divorce and then three very short and destructive relationships, I opted for c elibacy until I could get my head straight. I think it helped, because recently I almost was taken in by a consummate cad, and being celibate for so long, it was easier to keep my involvement intellectual. I am very glad that I have been able to use celibacy to clear up some problems, but I've noticed that I am very hungry for affection. My kids do hug me if I ask them to, but they don't think how I must feel, being alone. They take my hugs and kisses, but I have to ask for even a small return. I really hope that soon I will find a good man to bond with who will love to hug and kiss me, and who will accept me the way I am, an ornery, stubborn, goofy, freethinking woman who never does anything just like everyone else.

*My friends used to be embarrassed when I hugged them. But now they love it and do the same thing to someones they love. I feel great about hugging because it show how much I care and I love, not only friends, lovers, but also my families. Hey!!! just open your arms, you will feel that you are the luckest person in the world, and you will find out what you have been missing. Enjoy the hugging, no matter where you come from or you are Asian or American or........ ^__^

*I know that this must sound odd but I came across this site because I decided to write a paper, a definition essay more specifically, entitled "A Hug". In need of something to back up what I was writing about I immediately came to the web knowing that there must be something out there. This is truly a great site. I have always been a person for hugs. I do not feel complete if a day goes by and I have not given or recieved a hug. A hug is one of the most appropriate actio n for most any occasion. It is incrediable that such a simple action can have so many different meanings for almost every occasion and every situation.

*I have been away from my best friends now for a year and a half (at college) and I find that without a doubt, the biggest thing I miss is our hugs. In fact, I requested a teddy bear for Christmas from them JUST SO I'd have something to hug that reminded me of their hugs!! :) How true it is that a hug can convey more feelings than any words ever could. Also, the first time I returned home from my first semester @ school, I hugged my mom and realized how comforting and right it felt. It struck me so much how perfectly our bodies fit together!! I'd never realized until that moment how happy I was that my mom taught me to hug the people that I love.

*Wow! When they say they have everything on the Internet, they really mean it! Hugs from special people mean a lot to me. I don't really like it when people I do n't know that well try to hug me. It makes me a little uncomfortable and it seem s like they kind of cheapen it in a way. There's a guy in Idaho who I miss a lot right now. You'd probably call him my boyfriend; I call him my best friend. We always had a goodnight hug after we went somewhere. It was a wonderful way to end d the evening. I love hugs from him -- they make me feel safe, comforted, loved. Boy, do I miss it. I moved to WA this summer and now I'm in TN. Before I went to WA he gave me a teddy bear and said "This is a hug replacement until I can give you one for real." We hug in our letters and that helps. I'll get to see him two in months and I'm so excited! And the first thing I'll do when I see him is give him a BIG HUG!!

*Hi...I only have one person in my life that I feel comfortable to hug and that's because he hugged me first. When he did, it took me by surprise because I had known him for years and we weren't close friends. Now, we are good friends and each time we see each other our meeting ends with a hug. I love the warm fuzzy feeling that hugging him brings. It's like having my own human sized teddy bear :)

*This could be a long story so bear with me. My wife moved out about 3 weeks ago. Our marriage has been bad for about 10 years. She didn't move out for any of what I thought would be the obvious reasons, such as infidelity or abuse. We just drifted apart. She rented a house with a 6 month lease on the basis that if we couldn't resolve our differences in that time we probably never would. This past weekend she invited me to go to the zoo and shopping with her. We had a wonderful time! It's ironic, but we've talked to each other more now in the time that she has lived apart from me than we have in the past 10 years. When we got back to her place, just before I left, I decided to give her a hug. More accurately though, I think I really wanted to recieve a hug. I think we both got what we wanted. I was hestitant at first because I wasn,t sure if she was ready to resume any kind of a physical relationship. That one hug aroused feelings in me that I haven't had in a very long time. At this stage, I feel somewhat optimistic that she can one day forgive me for all the hurt that I inflicted on her and that she will once again begin a new life together. That's about all I had to say, I just felt like sharing this with someone. address:mbuss@southwind.net

*I am an operatingroom neurosurgical nurse. I often touch the hand or shoulder of a frightened human being. Stramgers as we are I am convinced that my special hug (be it only a loving touch), is a healing, healthy, and comforting to others. I have a natural ability to love other people. Sometimes I can't believe God has honored me by allowing the trust of people. I love nursing and I love and respect those who allow me to participate in their care. I am a lucky person. Thank you, and God bless sick people. J.J. address:jack9628@gte.net

*I think my most memorable experience with hugs happened when i was a child. My dad was quitting smoking and whenever he wanted a cigarette, he would ask one of us for a hug instead. Our hugs helped get him through his addiction & he hasn't touched a cigarette for about 15 years!
