*I'm actually looking for hugging stories. I work for a women's magazine in Sydney Australia and we're writing a special edition in the New Year devoted to the power of hugging. If you have any positive stories about hugging and how it's helped you or others I would love you to get in touch - Amy COoper

*Hi, i've been away from my husband for almost three years. i've been married to him for ten years. i am asian and presently studying here in sydney. as i read through all the stories on hugs, i missed the hugs from my hubby. i am in an environment of asians here in sydney wherehugging is a taboo or are conservative about hugging. you know i missed being hugged especially in the morning when i wake up. why is it so hard for us asians to ask for a hug from a friend? or just showing a hug would mean something different. Why?????? i'd love to be hugged all the time, when i am sad, happy, lonely, when i wake up from an afternoon nap, when i get home from work, from school. I missed those hugs... hugs to all...

*Firstly, I find this site extremely amusing and interesting as I never thought that there existed such a site. But then again, one can find anything on the net! ! The irony is that I felt liked being hugged the evening before I found this site!! Back to the topic. I am very fond of hugging but the problem is that there is no one to hug. I mean it is not as if I dont hug family once in a while but at times you need that special someone to hold you. The feeling of being wanted and the fact that that person wants you and shows that he cares is I think a really wo nderful phenomenon. I think that everyone should experience it because in this day and age where everything is computerised, no human emotions are involved and that is a real pity.

*Hi all you huggers! I enjoyed reading all those wonderful hugging stories. It made me think about the best hug I've ever got. It was given by my boyfriend. He moved to England and gave me this BIG hug when we saw each others for the last time. That hug has given me the strength to live my life tough he's not here with me. I'll see him again on Christmas and I promise that I'll hug him all the time!!!

* This is a great site. I think hugs are something special and they say so much without actually speaking. My best friend has been sad lately because she misses her mom. At first I didn't know what to do and then it hit me - A HUG! I went up to he rand suprised her with a hug and she held me so tight. Hugs are an important part of a balanced nutrition! :) And, don't be afraid to hug your friends, it doesn't mean you're bisexual or anything like that ... its just a comforting thing that everyone needs sometimes - hell, give em out for free even! ;)

* I'm 13, and I live in Michigan, and I love this site, of course not as much as my girl friend. Well, just a couple days ago, my girlfriend and I were hugging for most of the day. One of the greatest hugs that day what what I like to call the back hug. When she was standing and looking at something, I didn't know what.. she looked a little bored. Keeping that in mind, I came from behind her and put my arms around her stomach, and the she put her arms around mine. With my head on her left shoulder, we just swayed in the wind, without even saying anything. That's what really hit us both. And people who think that hugging is worthless, try it and just relax, and just sway in the wind.

* Wow! This page just fits me! Tomorrow, I will start my senior year of high school and I know it will be a day of much hugging, seeing friends lost over the summer. My entire life I've been a hugger. When I was a freshman I was given an award "Most likely to hug the entire school before graduation." I think the most important thing in hugging is developing a hug which is special for each recipient. My one friend is uncomfortable being embraced, so we developed a hand hug, similar to a hand shake. ugs are great when giving piggy back rides. Also, all my long distance friends and I end our phone conversations by saying "give yourself a hug for me." In that moment, our spirits embrace in the sky.

*WHAT A GREAT SITE. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO I WAS PREPARING TO GO TO RUSSIA ON A CHRISTIAN MISSIONARY TOUR. AS PART OF THE TRAINING COURSE I SPOKE ON THE SUBJECT OF HUMAN CONTACT AND HUGS. AMONG OTHER THINGS I TRIED TO POINT OUT THAT THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE IN THE WORLD THAT GO FROM DAY TO DAY WITHOUT THE FEEL OF ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. OH...IN TODAY'S WORLD YOU CAN SEE PEOPLE, TALK TO PEOPLE BUT YOU PROBABLY DON'T TOUCH THESE PEOPLE. A SIMPLE TOUCH..OR BETTER...A HUG IS WHAT THEY WANT AND NEED. MANY A PERSON HAS REACTED TO OUR HUGS BY SAYING "I REALLY NEEDED THAT..THANK YOU". IT MIGHT JUST MAKE THEIR DAY AND YOURS!!

*To me, hugs are the best way to show your affection to someone. Hugs are one of the most intimate things you can share with someone. Your bodies become one and it feels so nice to have someone that you really love in your arms and you in theirs. Some of my favorite people to hug are my best friends, my family, and my Daddy, but one of my very favorites is to the man that I love. My love for him is secret, but becoming more and more evident every time I am around him. When we embrace, it is my way of telling him how much I love him without speaking.

*I'd just like to tell you about a dream I have had. It was about a year ago that I had this dream. In this dream I was depressed. Just feeling blue, etc. So I am standing in the classroom and evidently nobody is paying attention to what I am feeling. Then all of a sudden, from behind, a receive a hug that is so very memorable. It was warm in every way and really showed a care and empathy. It was totally unexpected and was from a girl whom I wouldn't have expected it from. But right then, there, I loved that person. Cats have a way of knowing when a person is depressed and they cuddle you. It was like that.

*I'm seventeen and I have this friend. Anyway, one night I picked her up and was bringing her to my house to watch a movie and I totally wrecked my parents' car. Neither of us were hurt or anything. But I got out of the car and was looking at it and that terrible feeling a seventeen year old gets when he wrecks his parents' car came over me. I was just shaking. My friend got out, came over and hugged me and it just felt great... she just hugged me and I thought, "Wow. Here's someone who really cares about me."Well, ever since then I've really grown to love her alot more than I used to. I freely embrace her all the time now and it's great because I know she won't get the wrong idea or anything about me because we know each other so well. She's really one of the bestest friends I've ever had. The point is I now am an acolyte of the church of hugging. Hugging is just one of the best, most underrated medicines there is for any of those mean pitfalls of life waiting out there to swallow you up.

*I just got back from a week's vacation hoping to greet my boyfriend w/ a big *I've missed you* hug, he's the best hugger I know in the world. Instead I got an e-mail from him saying that he'd left the country for his grandpa's funeral. I immediately began searching the net for hug pages so I could send him some good hug-related material. This page gave me a little emotional boost while I'm waiting to share a hug,Thanks.
