I like being hugged, because that's just about the best feeling in the world! But I only hug people I like.

[ It's a one-way street, sort of, but that's everybody's experience, isn't it? Nobody hugs for the sake of hugging, but the intention behind it, whether that's receiving or expressing. ]

You don't have to give me a hug, though. Any sort of thermal conduction will work.
