A gourmet hug is a long, full body hug where you really exchange energies. My favourite kind, especially when naked. :-))
Yes, I was a Body Electric coordinator for 5 years here, and we teach gourmet hugs! Love them! All of your skin front to front touches!
Hugs are the greatest...we're big huggers!! Like everything else if we can do it naked it's even better. We hug our platonic friends naked all the time, and it's never sexual...sensual perhaps because we all need to be touched. So many people need to relax and naked hugs are the best way to do it!!naked hugs everybody!!
I think of elderly European guys sitting shoulder to shoulder on a bench, watching bocce ball; young Russian soldiers falling asleep on the train, slumped together in a pile. Routine sharing of beds in hotels and among houseguests, which was still happening when I was young. The Anglo-American reticence to touch is really kind of peculiar. Hugs are a way to cut through that. In a way it's too bad we have to more or less consciously make the occasion. Like the difference beween the "go out and play" that I grew up with versus the modern play-dates-and-soccer-practice methods for cutting through isolation.
Naked hugs are a wonderful male bonding activity which disarm self-consciousness and inhibition without words. I love 'em! Naked hugs are the opposite of the "pyramid hug" I had to master growing up in an ethnic evangelical enclave. It's a hug where you lean forward and touch a shoulder to avoid the risk of coming into any contact whatsoever with a breast or genital, which would border on "indecent". A pyramid hug is false intimacy and is best accompanied by a singsongy voice as in "How are you-ew? Im fiii-ne? And you-ewew? A naked hug among men on the other hand is strong and silent and it's important to have no concerns about genitals, flaccid or aroused. The quiet understanding of being a man among men says more than anything.
Hugs are a wonderful way to connect with one another, naked hugs only more so. Nothing nicer, or more healing, than physical contact with another person and especially with other males. Our naked bodies touching-- hairy chest against hairy chest, penises touching-- are a way of letting one another know they're cherished, all is right with the world.
