Honest opinions, in your normal day to day life, is it socially accepted if a guy was to openly admit they need a fucking hug without judgement?
I've gone past worrying what others might be thinking of me, and yeah I need a fucking hug more than I need or want anything else to be honest. |

Among gay men it’s very normal. When I see friends we will hug and say hello with affection. I don’t understand, will never understand, why straight men can’t be warmer with one another.
Virtual hug sugar. |

I don't know any reason why this wouldn't be embraced or accepted. Men don't have to be the alpha or have everything together all the time, they just need to feel it. Men's feelings are overlooked but they matter too  |

Honestly I'm so happy being single right now. But at times, particularly when I've had a bad day or had to be a dick, I'd pay good money to have a woman just let me hug her, or even better just lay on her lap - no words, just silence. |

"Most of the men I know say they want/need a hug. Never any thought of judgement
Hugs to you
Those I know through kink would gladly give hugs if needed. Don't think I would ask anyone else "
You wouldn’t need to ask me 😘 |

I'm straight. I try to avoid hugging other straight men because every time I try, I get an erection.  |

I love hugging my children both boys. Also female friends and partners.
However I have never hugged a male friend or colleague, and to be honest I’d find it difficult.
I also don’t know why, either  |

Socialisation, probably. |

I’m confused with this. Is it not socially acceptable for men to have hugs? Are we talking about certain scenarios, like just randomly stating you need a hug during work to work colleague and expect them to give you a hug? I’m not sure anyone, regardless of gender would do that (well no one I know). I go want a hug, I will hug my loved ones. Never thought twice about it being someone I should question. |

I'm similar. There's very few I feel comfortable with to hug 🫂 |

I hug a few male friends , can’t honestly say I’ve ever needed one but it’s something we’re very comfortable doing especially after a long time apart. I definitely would not hug a guy I’m not close to |

Of course! Everyone needs a hug sometimes and you shouldnt feel ashamed to admit that… or ask for one.  |

Obviously no two people's situations, lives and views are the same so the opportunity or ability to ask for a hug or open up and be comforted with a hug will vary massively.
Also, types of hugs are important? A quick manly but heartfelt embrace, full on squeeze for a few seconds or a full on embrace and your about to cry so try to pull away and get held tighter so cry harder until it's ok?

Totally normal, I love a good tight hug n cuddle, sometimes it's all we need, me and my male friends all work f'kin hard and hug when we meet up just to silently say keep going bro I got your back.

Completely normal in my generation. I give all my friends of all genders hugs and they hug me. I tell my partners I need hugs. I lay on their chest. I small spoon with them. I randomly ask for hugs. I don’t feel any type of way. |

I absolutely love hugs and cuddles and always have, it's normal for me and it's not something I've ever sought acceptance from others for, accept of course the person I want to hug. K. |

I see a guy who is in a seriously miserable marriage, stuck in a loveless, sexless even contactless relationship. They stay together for the sake of their school-age kids, but he hadn't had sex in over 5 years until he found me.
What he misses most are the hugs. When he turns up, we spend about 20 minutes just hugging, as he melts into my arms. It's a very basic thing which he's been deprived of, and the difference in his demeanor after is startling.
OK, the fucks with his 8", Viagra-enhanced cock are fantastic, but his emotional side gets all the attention he needs - with another round of hugs afterwards - and I think he values the bookending tenderness either as much or possibly more than the sex itself. |

I get a lot of daily hugs from friends and family so I've never felt the need to ask for one; I wouldn't feel weird doing so though - hugs can change your day!
I met a random stranger last week and they were at a very low point, it was raining so I gave them a lift to the nearest town, we stopped in a carpark and chatted and they started to cry, I hugged then for about 5 minutes. When they left me they seemed a lot happier. |

This is how the world becomes a better place, empathy and compassion. Salute you. |

I love hugs. I hug everyone.
Some people don't love hugs. My ex fiancé felt like she was being str*ngled.
Sometimes I just needed to hug her and I would ask and she would let me 'str*ngle' her briefly and gently.
Full physical contact is a big deal. |

You made the world a better place at that moment. I think more people should just be kinder and warmer.

I'm in the building trade if I said I needed a hug I'd probably get laughed at and have the piss ripped out of me.
Fucking toxic masculinity 
Tbh I wouldn't want a hug from anyone other than wife or kids. |

They are the best! My dog gets up on my knee for a cuddle when I’m on the sofa and then I’m trapped for hours because I never want to disturb her 😂 |

They really are, there’s nothing worse than having to get up when cuddled in with the dog especially in the morning getting out of bed. Dogs are amazing |

There are more single men out there than ever before.
And as a long term single man. sometimes at night I miss the warmth of human contact.
Trouble is we live in a world where woman think men are no longer relevant.
