I considered it for awhile and came to the conclusion it’s because the whole coworker boob-touching-boob thing is just too much for me to handle. These bonding moments are now referred to as “side-hugs”, after one of my favorite Jon Acuff posts. [...] [...] The surprising news was delivered to me by two female coworkers.

In the front hug there’s no risk of two crotches touching. If you're a bit messed up I'm sure you could engineer it and you have obviously thought about it. Stop focussing on sex and start thinking about loving your neighbours. That was Jesus's message. Stop perverting it freak. " I don’t know the exact scripture reference but try the book of Psalms." So it doesn't exist then “In the side hug there’s no risk of two crotches touching.”

I still don't understand the issue of "mental purity" of someone hugging a member of the opposite sex. Not everyone, not even all teenage boys, have those problems!

I thought it was the risk of chest on chest touching. Well at least between male and female. Huh, good to know. I think we just need to stick to the A-frame hug. Frontal but only arms and shoulders touching. It's super comfortable and not awkward at all. I didn’t realize it was the “risk of two crotches touching”.
