I'll never forget the time I ran into an old friend of mine and I went to give him a hug and he awkwardly laughed and said uh, no, and shook my hand.

We're still very good friends and we send several texts to each other every week.

But it's a terrible feeling when you instinctively go to hug someone with zero sexual feelings and get instantly and reflexively rejected. I don't blame my friend. I blame our fucked up culture.

'Murica: where we love our guns more than we love our school children. Is it any wonder men can't hug here.

My goddamn dad does this to me. Like I made a conscious decision years ago to give him hugs because I felt like it was bullshit to not show him affection. After a few years he started intercepting me and now forces the handshake.

He also became radically conservative in that time...

To be fair, you might be trying to fuck him. A handshake is safe.
