From memory, the first time I received a Hug/Cuddle, was at the age of 37 years. (And yes, I am including my Childhood in this).

How much value do you put on a Hug/Cuddle?

Hugs make a WORLD of difference, but they have to be WANTED. People should not cross boundaries, as a prime example of this are all the hugs given out at 12 step groups. I've experienced myself where strange men I've never met have wanted to hug me and they hold on just a wee bit too long. Ick! Now, a hug from a friend, family member, even counselor (although counselors read body language and tread lightly on that one) can make all the difference in the world). Some of the best hugs and kisses come from my dogs. They're always sincere and I know they love me.

I love hugs - as long as they are from people I genuinely care about and they care about me. My daughter, close friends, etc. Not the grocery bagger or my electrician. Affection - hugs, holding hands - are important to me in a relationship. My husband wasn't an affectionate person and if I date again that will be on my 'must' list.

I love hugging my man. I love to feel his arms around me, and I love to breathe in his unique and delightful smell. It turns me on more than kissing.

Hugging a GF is much more fun usually than hugging family

I am a hugger.

I don't like kisses as much as a hug believe it or not.

What's funy is when you hug someone that is not used to hugs and they stand there like a surf board in the sand. No response. Weird.

Now if you are 300 + running full tilt at me with both arms wide open to give me a hug... I may just lay down on the ground and play dead.

That is a very long time without a hug.

Explain how that is possible.

I'm not much of a hugger, but I'm willing to hug you (that is if I know you). Strangers? Not so much.

Oh yeah, kids? Definitely. Love hugging them chunky kids!
