I really enjoy physical contact, in all pleasent and playful forms. My family is very hug oriented, and so I suppose I was brought up with hugs as a key component to life. In grade two we had the "two hugs a day" program (before the world went crazy?) where on our way into class and out of class for the day, we'd line up and give our wonderful teacher a giant hug before we left. It wasn't manditory or anything, but it was nice.
I tend to use hugs to display true affection for someone. Not just as a greeting to everyone, but as something more. If I really like you then I'll hug you, unless I get the vibe that you don't want to be touched.
My ex, who is also my best friend, does not like being hugged at all. After we broke up, he would flinch at any contact from anyone. I think he's getting better now, but I understand where all of the non-huggers are coming from.
