RE: When is a hug acceptable?
The typical nudist hug is pretty non-committal anyway: the upper body leans forward as to only allow the upper torso and shoulder to come into contact. There's actually relatively little physical contact. I've never requested more than that from people I just met, understanding that everyone has different boundaries.
- I often found that as I got to know people and see them repeatedly at various nudist venues, our hugs just naturally got closer. There's no longer that "safe lean forward"; but a closer proximity of the entire body. Admittedly, the first couple of times I felt another woman's breasts brushing against my chest; it felt a bitodd! But then, like everything else, it just becomes normal and natural; and you no longer see it as "a woman's breasts against your chest", but as normal skin contact.
- As far as full-body hugs: they arethe most committed hugs since they involve pressing the two bodies against each other. My ex, who was/is a touchy-feely gal whether nude or dressed, gave them to all our nudist friends and acquaintances. I didn't mind; as she was herself very comfortable with the physical contact. To me full-body hugs were reserved for people with whom I had an "affectionate friendship"; a small handful of nudist friends. On occasion, it was random; for example, one lady at a nudist get-together requested a full hug after spending the day with her. I didn't have a problem obliging; even though we'd just met.
- I think it's ultimately about your comfort level, and whether it matches the other person's. My ex had no reservations about full-body hugging everyone; I did. But I had no problem with it when it happened. You just accept it as being "just skin."
