The bit about Himba people is without any reference, and the only mentions I can find on the internet that Himba people supposedly don't see hugging as affection are people referring to *this* article and its unsubstantiated info. What's more, here's a picture of Himba girls embracing and smiling. http://farm5.staticflickr.com/4082/4942315938_2b1d9b161e_z.jpg |

This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Hug article. This is not a forum for general discussion of the article's subject. |

New Section?
Should a new section about the health benefits of hugging be made? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.10.133.58 (talk) 16:35, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Origins of the hug
Unless there's a good reason to think that the origins of the hug can be traced to a specific time and place, maybe the article should just be mute on the subject. --24.147.86.187 19:46, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- There has got to be somewhere talking either about the origin of the hug, or how it has been studied as a common form of expression in unconnected cultures (like native americans and Europeans when they first landed). Im surprised this topic is so neglected, while i think something regarding origin is a big need-to-have there are so many things lacking from this article. - Debeo Morium: to be morally bound (Talk | Contribs) 21:03, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Hugs on holidays?
"Many people hug on holidays, such as Mother's Day, or Christmas."
Seems a bit silly to put this in. I'm not saying it's untrue, but people hug for tons of reasons. Graduations, after not seeing each other for a while, etc. I don't know why we're calling out holidays. Does this warrant a list of "typical reasons to hug?"

- Agreed, I went ahead and removed it. Maybe someone wants to resurrect this and other original research in a page called list of occasions upon which people might hug. maxsch (talk) 23:48, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Shepherd Jr. High Controversy
I fixed up Shepherd Jr. High's controversy part, by source and by experience as a current student at Shepherd Jr. High (March 5th, 2008) as well as reading the newspaper article on the front page that explained the situation. Thecutnut (talk) 09:43, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Cleanup
There was a lot of nonsense on this page. I moved Groping and Tree hugging to the see also section. The CDC does not single out hugging as mode of transmitting SARS, rather SARS (like many contagious diseases) can be transmitted by close contact. Hugging is clearly close contact, but the specificity of the line about SARS is misleading, so I took it out too. The prehistoric hug is cute but not encyclopedic: removed. The bit about hugging and the female brain is controversial and I'm removing it for lack of independent scientific support, some of Louann Brizendine's other numbers in the book that this supposedly comes from are not from her own research and turn out to be false (see, for example, the claim that women use more words than men: it's not true!). I'm not sure what to do about the school controversy, some of the links in it were dead and it is really not about hugs or hugging per se, it is more about American hysteria about child sexuality and exploitation. It seems like it really belongs elsewhere...maybe in its own page, or nowhere... maxsch (talk) 19:43, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
Hand Hug
I think we should add Hand Hug for the see also Section (Arian19 (talk) 06:22, 16 December 2009 (UTC))
- Let's work out one thing at a time, and wait until the CSD on Hand Hug is resolved. P Carn (talk) 06:23, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
