When is a hug acceptable? — The Mens Room on True Nudists

Mar 19, 2011

Let me first start off with saying that I have always been a very affectionate kind of guy. I have always been a hugger. If I see someone I haven’t seen for a while I want a hug I am straight and secure enough with myself that I don’t have a problem hugging men or women. This is not a sexual thing for me at all it is simply like a hand shake for me. I have been an at home nudist for over 10 years now and recently started to explore the outdoor world of being a nudist and went to my first beach. I went alone and found a nice quiet spot to relax and I really enjoyed myself and it was extremely freeing. Over the last couple times I went there I started to talk to other people and started making friends. The last time I went I saw one of my friends there again and he immediately came up and hugged me and said hello which in itself did not bother me. The part that I am questioning is what is the correct etiquette for hugging other nudists, male or female? I ask this because when he hugged me certain parts had touched that I can only imagine would make some people uncomfortable. My friend is also straight so it didn’t really bother me too much because I know there was nothing sexual about it. but I would like to avoid making someone else feel uncomfortable if I hugged them. Up until this point I had just assumed that it would not be appropriate as some people might get uncomfortable but I thought I would bring it to the forum to see if you guys can straighten out the new guy because the last thing I would ever want to do is make someone feel uncomfortable. Thank you all in advance for any advice or input that you might be able to provide./font/font

The typical nudist hug is pretty non-committal anyway: the upper body leans forward as to only allow the upper torso and shoulder to come into contact. There's actually relatively little physical contact. I've never requested more than that from people I just met, understanding that everyone has different boundaries.
- I often found that as I got to know people and see them repeatedly at various nudist venues, our hugs just naturally got closer. There's no longer that "safe lean forward"; but a closer proximity of the entire body. Admittedly, the first couple of times I felt another woman's breasts brushing against my chest; it felt a bit odd! But then, like everything else, it just becomes normal and natural; and you no longer see it as "a woman's breasts against your chest", but as normal skin contact.
- As far as full-body hugs: they are the most committed hugs since they involve pressing the two bodies against each other. My ex, who was/is a touchy-feely gal whether nude or dressed, gave them to all our nudist friends and acquaintances. I didn't mind; as she was herself very comfortable with the physical contact. To me full-body hugs were reserved for people with whom I had an "affectionate friendship"; a small handful of nudist friends. On occasion, it was random; for example, one lady at a nudist get-together requested a full hug after spending the day with her. I didn't have a problem obliging; even though we'd just met.
- I think it's ultimately about your comfort level, and whether it matches the other person's. My ex had no reservations about full-body hugging everyone; I did. But I had no problem with it when it happened. You just accept it as being "just skin."

Hugs are generally very acceptable when greeting friends, I even have a few clients who will hug on meeting and departing, as we have know each other a long time. Do it, it is one of life's simple pleasures when meeting.

All hugs are acceptable, and a naked full body contact hug just shows how comfortable we with ourselves and our company.

I surmise that the only difference hugging naked and body parts touching or bumping together is the simple fact that you are naked ! We tend to forget that clothed, if we hug, these body parts are still there touching each other, they are just covered by the clothes you are wearing, so technically, there is no difference in my view. Yes, we have to be wary of others who may find this uncomfortable and act accordingly. To me, if your someone who likes to give and receive hugs, then as long as you realise that there may be or will be body parts touching, in a non sexual way, then so be it, there is nothing wrong with it. Silly outdated and naff so called old fashioned victorian values are the problem and the small mindedness of others. Enjoy each hug as it comes and take the pleasure of feeling skin on skin.

[quote]Just hug with the top part of your body and not with a full length press.... I agree with this as far as hugging people you aren't as close to. However, some nudist huggers I know will give a full-body hug and just not care about certain parts rubbing on the other person. I actually prefer full-body hugs, they are more loving.[/quote] I completely agree with you on this.

I am a hugger and my wife is not so when she is there inside hug. When she is not... it is a full hug. Parts touch so what as long as the other person does not mind.

Some people just aren't huggers, clothed or unclothed. A handshake should be sufficient until you learn their preference. You don't usually hug someone you have just met for the first time. However, if you hit it off you may exchange a hug when you say good bye!
I guess what I am saying is don't rush in for a big bare hug until you know the huggee! BTW, I am a hugger.
