Now, some might call me a whore, but I’ll kiss just about everyone!  Quit giggling.  What other expression can mean so much?  A hug?  Nah.  There’s only like 3 kinds of hugs.

First, there’s the “Buddy” hug the quick arm-wrap-and-squeeze thing that lasts just amoment ofr two.  The Buddy hug is usually accompanied by patting or pounding depending on whether you’re with a twink or a bear.  Sometimes, straight men will give their gay friends the one-armed version - like we’ll kiss’em next.  Sheesh.

The second kind of hug is the “Family” hug.  Family hugs are similar to Buddy hugs but last longer and the squeeze is a bit stronger.  Often Family hugs include chin-nestling and the “release” usually includes a lingering touch on a shoulder or arm.  Family hugs are usually reserved for your family, long term friends, exs we still talk to (and maybe pine for), and maybe the person you want to take on a date.

Then there’s the “Lovers” hug.  Unlike the Buddy hug’s aggressive and fast boddy grip, a lovers hug is something you slide into and slide out of … it starts out with your hand sliding up the arm or the side of your partner (sometimes under the shirt!) and rather than chin-nestling there’s usually a kiss included - or, at least an earlobe nibble.  The squeeze often isn’t as strong as a Buddy or Family hug but includes more of your body - legs, hips, tummy (for Bears, tummies are always included); the whole body is involved.

But Kissing?  Wow!  There’s everything from the air kiss to the peck on the forehead and the peck on the cheek; then there’s the lip brush to full-on macking and tongue wrestling.  If you are aware of what kind of kiss you are receiving you’ll know more about your relationship with that person than you’ll likely want to know.

I could write a whole tome on kissing, but rather than write an article 50 pages long I thought I’d show you.

Go on.  Don’t be scared.  CLICK HERE.  You’ll be the first to see.
