During lunch with friends on Sunday the conversation turned to physical affection. Who are you comfortable hugging and when is a hug appropriate with friends, family, and co-works?
One of my friends shared a story for when she was in high school youth group. The topic of the conversation was physical intimacy. The question the presenting “older couple” asked was, “What is more intimate, a hug or a kiss?”
All the youth said “Kiss, of course.”
Then the couple when on to share that when they were in a fight a kiss was okay (and demonstrated a quick peck), but there was no way they were going to hug. A hug was way to intimate because you were entering another persons and they were embracing you.
Interesting thoughts.
