I love hugs. My life would be quite empty without them.
I've always felt that a hug is an ultimate sign of trust. Think about the position in which you put your body in order to give a hug. You walk close to somebody and put your arms out wide, exposing every vulnerable part of your body to them. You're showing that you are comfortable leaving yourself completely unprotected to them because you trust that they won't take advantage of that.
So, to me, a hug is a very important gesture of affection that I reserve for people I truly trust.
