Emotional support and physical touch are vital to human health and well-being, yet many people lack sufficient physical affection, particularly children and men. The absence of hugs can lead to emotional problems and mental health declines. Engaging in act of hugging can serve as a remedy, fostering connections and alleviating loneliness, but one must be mindful in how this is approached. The notion that men should be able to hug each other without judgment reflects societal problems regarding emotional expression. Responsibility for addressing these issues should not fall solely on women, acknowledging that men need to confront their own emotional limitations. Helping each other through physical affection can be beneficial but requires a careful and responsible approach to avoid misunderstandings and negative perceptions.
