Men, are you physically affectionate with other male friends? (eg, hugging, snuggling, playful wrestling, etc). If you aren't, do you wish it was more socially acceptable if it isn't in your culture? (pawb.social)

No. No

Why?

I prefer women for physical affection.

I do, too, but I'll take a good hug from anyone I know and care about. I've noticed my male friends who are black seem to add a hug into a handshake far far, far more often than my white male friends. In fact, other than my oldest friend, I don't think any of my white male friends have ever hugged me.
