Wow! I had never thought about hugs so deeply until know, there's not a school day that goes by were I don't receive hug. Hugs mean a lot to me. They can cheer you up, let you know that some one cares, or even show that someone is trying to show you some affection.
I would consider my friends and I manly men, we eat meat that is cooked over an open flame, like man was meant to eat. Yet we still share big hugs and deep intimate conversations together all the time.
Steven did a great job at writing this piece. I really enjoyed the parts where it was written somewhat mockingly to keep it funny, but it still had a joking/serious point to it as well. Also to point out how society and mainstream media view and mock a male-to-male "heartfelt hug" was absolutely great.
I would love to hear this piece get played on the air around here, but the community is a slightly anti-gay community so I don’t know that it would sit so well with a lot of people.
I think this piece is great the way that it is. It got me to think about the topic and made me smile, so nothin' but kudos from this male-to-male "heartfelt hug" fan.
