Well, then it must be a stupid argument since he's of Italian descent.
He says, if you are comfortable in your sexuality and are a ‘manly man’, you should be OK with giving another man a hug.
This is true. But that's not what this argument is about. The article clearly states that men should touch MORE. Ask your husband about the hand holding advocacy of this author.
Have him read the article and then chine in again. Here's a remindful excerpt.
How often do men actually get the opportunity to express affection through long lasting platonic touch? How often does it happen between men? Or between men and women? Not a hand shake or a hug, but lasting physical contact between two people that is comforting and personal but not sexual.
Between persons who are not lovers and never will be. Think, holding hands. Or leaning on each other. Sitting together...And if you are a man, imagine a five minutes of contact with another man. How quickly does that idea raise the ugly specter of homophobia? And why?
So no. Not a simple manly hug.
Goodnight, J-Town.
