While I underatand this, i don't buy into it.

Look, I go years sometimes with no physical touch from others. Not even platonic, but I don't make that everyone else's problem. The problem is men see *all* touch as sexual, and that makes them predatory and lonely from masculine friendships.

You're making a generalization about billions of people that is neither true nor supportable.
My guy friends all hug each other. I hug my women friends, too. I'm not trying to get with any of them.

@uncalled4 One thing I remember about growing up in a largely Italian and Jewish neighborhood is that I saw men being hugged and kissed by their fathers and grandfathers, nothing in the least "weird" about it. My own father hugged his brothers and his son, so that wasn’t unusual to me, either.
