No, I used to wrestle and there is nothing sexual about it to me. Why this topic comes up as often as it does is disturbing though.
Affection can be shown through a hug yes, but it doens't have to have affection towards all, depends on the way of hugging as well. A real man wouldn't say "I love you bitch" either, that is why I don't say that. Yes, during my work hours, all strangers, clients (New and old) and co-workers recieve a firm handshake as ones professional actions should be.

so you and your guy friends sit around and "chat" about what turns you on? i just emailed my gay friend this thread and according to him you're obviously gay, he thinks one of you huggers is faking it though (so did i)
look, you hugging guys doesn't bother me a bit. you can be as gay as you want, it doesn't bother me one iota. but hilarious as fuck how it bugs the shit out of you that i don't want to hug guys and read 50 shades of gray with them in character

see how much simpler my take is? you need one of those charts to show you who to hug and who not to hug
No there isn't anything wrong with preffering to not be touched outside romantic contact. His anger and hatred is what is wrong with every thing he is posting, that and his habitual posting of anything that is "man on man contact" = gay. If you don't like to be touched, fine. I can respect that. Just don't be a douche about it.

I will hug close friends if I haven't seen them in a long time. That is the extend of my man to man contact.

No, not really. I just find someone that happens to be homosexual that loves to talk about their sexuality non-stop until they are blue in the face to be boring and uninteresting. I would feel the same way if all a straight guy ever wanted to talk about was fucking girls and/or getting laid, or a person that always wanted to talk about money. Does that make sense? 0o

yeah, it's real tough to say hello and shake their hand
meanwhile you guys have to figure out if you should hug and kiss the guy, how long and deep to go in with the hug, when and how long to make eye contact and then you have to wonder if he's thinking "why the fuck is this guy hugging me"
i don't even hug another guy's wife/gf
just certain lines you don't cross because it's COMPLETELY unnecessary to do so

Of course I know how to act professionally, but some people just don't know how to guide themselves I guess? A chart would be something you keep in your head saying, "You may hug this guy when the appropriate reason is there" and I'll just add this.. there's no way in hell I would hug half my family, so I can't stand that with a reason. But as they said many pages through, a non-affectioned hug is still just a human gesture. Heck, as I said, I don't mind the hugs, but it shouldn't happen for no reason (That is, a reason is needed from my side). Yes, I don't accept a hug if I just sit and talk and suddenly someone wants to hug. Yes, I do accept a hug as a greeting/good gesture. I am closer to hitting it if your leg/knee touches mine in the cinima than I am to deny a friendly gesture.
