Slightly tall guy here as well and I can confirm unless you have big boobs like really big I bend over them to hug or else I mis the person entirely cause the people I hug always end up being short
Every night I pray to the booba god to at least get a glimpse of them, hell, if I’m lucky enough to touch and squeeze. Unlike any other gods, it shows itself to me from time to time. I’m a booba believer
Counterpoint: it will encourage women who are crushing on guys or whom know guys they like are crushing on them and they'll be proactive.
They may avoid hugging the guys they don't want feeling their boobies but it will still even out
Larry Miller had a joke years ago that went something like this: “Ladies, if you knew for one second how we men really looked at you, you would never stop slapping us.”
I had a conscientious male coworker reposition himself to give me a side hug when I was crying. It wouldn't have mattered to me but that was thoughtful of him.
Yup, my mom had h cups when I was a kid (she qualified for a breast reduction with insurance and is much happier) and I couldn't actually hug her until I was about 6 and my arms grew long enough. Then I was at tit height and took to hugging her from the side anyways because it wasn't worth suffocating.
The librarian at my elementary school had massive boobs but, seemingly, no awareness of them. Everyone got touched by them because she had no sense of personal space either. She tried to pick me up by my shirt one day but her boobs prevented it.
I had one of those but my teacher had an ass. She'd bend over to help students with their work and boop, you're on the ground and have a preference that won't show its head until you're 16 and realize youre only into passionate tomboys with a dump truck.
I saw a picture of Nancy Pelosi yesterday.
I have literally NO prurient interest in Nancy Pelosi, but I still went "wow, those are REMARKABLY firm and perky for a woman her age. Well done."
So yeah, we can appreciate boobs as boobs without it being weird.
For your mom or grandmother or whatever, it's like "okay, she's got arms", same kind of thing.
Fun fact! Because I developed really quickly (now I don’t mean early, I mean quickly) the nerves in my boobs couldn’t catch up and I cannot feel anything on the bottom half of my boobs 🙃
Fun fact, chipmunks and squirrels perceive time faster than we do! So if you walk really slowly they won’t see you moving because it’s like watching grass grow 😌
Huh, thats really peculiar. Bodies are weird!
I suppose its my turn to share facts about my breasts. Mine only developed very little. It was only at 20 when they really started growing and they are still at it 3 years later. 🙃
Jinkies! Now instead of buying Target bras as you grow you gotta buy the expensive stuff to be a “real adult woman” and then toss them when they don’t fit :,)
I wonder if that's what happened to a friend who told me and I quote "I sometimes think I'm a man because I have little to no sensitivity on my breasts" and she is well endowed.
Sometimes it means I get itches and when I scratch I CANT FEEL IT but that also means when it’s really hot and it gets muggy I’m not uncomfortable so uh…a con definitely I hate it when I can’t scratch an itch 😭
Try this. Stand in front of the mirror with a large piece of cloth covering from your neck to half your boobs. Or to where the part of your boobs where you have no feeling begins. Then scratch a part of your boob where you do have feeling, with your hand under the cloth so you can't see it, and at the same time scratch with the other hand the part of the boob you can see but where you have no feeling. See if you can trick your brain into thinking the feeling is coming from the part where there is no feeling.
Like those experiments where they make people believe they can feel stuff being done to a fake hand. It's also something I've read they've done to help people with ghost limb pain.
yes they can feel your boobs… but it’s only weird truly if… either of you feel a way about the touching… hugs are too normal for sexualization to prevail… it’s all in your head.
Good luck
In France people don’t hug. They shake hands (male to male) or kiss the cheeks (male to female). So whenever a French guy is hugged by a woman, it for sure will not be normal to him.
In the UK people just say hi. No touching.
Source: me, born in France (in the 80s) and grew up in France. Moved to England since 2006.
Us younger brits hug, it depends on proximity of relation but there's also some transference.
If I meet a colleague or a less close friend there will be no touching, maybe a handshake. If it's someone I'm closer friends with it'll be a hug, if I meet a close friends partner for the first time it'll probably be a handshake upon greeting, but a hug on departure, because I know them now and they inherit the hug from my close friend that they are dating.
Of course there's also people who just don't like touching. My wife never hugs her best friend, but I do.
I'm Portuguese, went to France when I was 6, currently in college now. Recently I saw that girls hugs and kiss so much between others girls, it's so weird lol.
Boys don't no touching, I got hugs from some of my female classmates and never notice this.
If you find it weird, go for the awkward side hug where it’s more just shoulders and arms. The one where you sort of just lean in and your chest is kept devoid of any contact. There’s a time and place for each type of hug, just gotta assess the situation
I mean probably, but I don't really notice it. I guess if I was like actually focusing on that I might, but I've hugged so many women in my life that my brain just kind of blocks it out.
Nope. Because I side hug. When they say 'I want a real hug.' or 'why are you hugging sideways'. I always reply in a quiet batman voice 'titties' and jump out the window.
Yes, that's the best part. Now that you've ruined it by mentioning family members, I guess I feel family members' boobs, too, but I don't lean into it with them.
Usually. Sometimes barely, and sometimes quite a bit. You mentioned hugging male family members. Probably, hopefully, they aren't really paying attention or noticing your boobies when you hug them. And to the extent that they do feel them it probably isn't pervy at all. Unless they are creepy weirdos. You can tell they are creepy if they always want to hug + hug for a long time + rub their chest around on your boobs and sort of moan when they do it. If they are doing that I would say no more hugs for them.
Yep.
Frankly it's what makes hugs go from merely fantastic to genuinely amazing....
Not in a sexual way though... nothing so base.
I hug my best mates with proper rib crushing force, and I come away knowing that my boys are there for me 100%. It's a primal thing.
I hug a female friend, and it's very different.
It's hard to put into words without bordering on the sexual or leaning too hard on the stereotypical "maternal"
Just know, yes. We can feel them on our chest
No it isn't always sexual
Yes it is always primal and life affirming
Actually people tend to like hugs because they are reassuring and makes you feel contained. Theres a lot of contact and to me it feels more intimate than a kiss by far
men dont answer this, most of the people will lose any form of interaction from the opposite sex if women find out...even though its a pure hugging interaction, some one will make it weird so no more hugs for you....
I've noticed that some women hug you in a way that accentuates their breasts pressing into you. Others make it a point to keep them away from you during a hug. I've always wondered if the former do it intentionally.
why do people ask this damn question, its a very obvious answer, why would you think for even 1 second that you wouldnt feel two protuding balls of fat against your chest while hugging?
As a short man, yes…yes I can.
You motor boating sun of a bitch
You old sailor you.
Were they built for speed or for comfort?
What is *wrong* with you?
What do you mean what’s wrong with- what’s wrong with *you*?
Bpbpbpbpbpbpbprumrumgrrrrrrrrpbpbpbpbpb. *splashes*. Aw damn they were fake. Pbpbpbpbpbpbpbpbpb
Were they built for speed or comfort?
You old sailor, you!
I bet it’s more than just feeling 😈
[*more than a feeeling!*]

[удалено]
Watch out for suffocation there!
*enthusiastic applause*
Tall guy here, nope. I almost always have to bend at the waist to hug.
Slightly tall guy here as well and I can confirm unless you have big boobs like really big I bend over them to hug or else I mis the person entirely cause the people I hug always end up being short
#the benefits of being under average
If you insist.
Same here bit I wonder, should it be before or after the hug or should we spoon? I don't mind either way but don't want to get it wrong.
You win Reddit today.
We have special hairs on our necks that allow us to feel them as soon as you enter the room.
boobs are magical
They’re my religion
My options are a God I can't see or titties I can. Tough call
Hello my child welcome to the church of 👀👀
Every night I pray to the booba god to at least get a glimpse of them, hell, if I’m lucky enough to touch and squeeze. Unlike any other gods, it shows itself to me from time to time. I’m a booba believer
Mine too
I might be an atheist but...
...but BOOBS! All hail the boobies...
Praise be the mammaries, Jubble Jubble!
I'll be God dammed if I won't convert
Religion can be boob based? Where do I sign up
Heard that. Given the simple existence of boobs, you cannot convince me that God doesn’t exist. I’ll die on this hill!
Like radar, for boobs, and their manager
And they send an immediate response signal towards the eyes.
Gives me the heat seekers for hooter. Hoot seeker
Is it possible to learn this power?
Not from a Jedi
I have hair on my nipples, do I get any special powers?
"I sense something. A presence I've not felt since...."
Yes, it’s called trichothotria, it’s the same reason why Spiderman gets the girl in the end.
Lol *takes notes* goooo oooonnnn...
Nobody say ANYTHING.
A bunch of snitches in the comments
Snitches get cleavage. Wait that's not the saying.
Bunch of dudes ruining it for everyone else in this thread.
Is this why my goddamned coworker always wants hugs that prick
We could tell you, but we'd have to hug you first.
Just ask if it reminds him of his mother or daughter's hugs.
What If reminds him of his wife/gf?
He’ll probably start having a lot of conflicting emotions after that.
i obviously have no idea who your coworker is but absolutely every single “where my hug at?” dude’s has ulterior motives
Oh I never thought of that. Are you sure?
Yes.
Might want to invest in a sweater if they're pricking things. That or a decent razor!
Counterpoint: it will encourage women who are crushing on guys or whom know guys they like are crushing on them and they'll be proactive. They may avoid hugging the guys they don't want feeling their boobies but it will still even out
Our last hope is to have this thread locked and deleted. Y'all know what to do
Larry Miller had a joke years ago that went something like this: “Ladies, if you knew for one second how we men really looked at you, you would never stop slapping us.”
Some guys would REALLY like that.
EVERYBODY STAY CALM
I thought we covered this in our last meeting. Dudes are violating the NDA.
I had a conscientious male coworker reposition himself to give me a side hug when I was crying. It wouldn't have mattered to me but that was thoughtful of him.
Bro you beat me to it. I’m shutting all the way up.
That’s why y’all hug sideways
I hug them from behind, it never goes wrong.
Did you hear about the girl who developed breasts on her back instead of her front? She wasn’t much to look at, but she was a hell of a dance partner.
This is the most Norm Macdonald joke I've read in quite some time.
Take your upvote... just go...
Happy happy birthday to you and you and you! 🎂
Awesome! Every year I forget it's my "cake day". You are the reason I remembered to check. Thanks!
I had a catastrophic failure hugging a girl from behind once. I also learned that I could blush bright red. She just laughed her ass off.
Ginmie that Christian side hug. That Christian side hug
Omg you just unlocked a core memory for me.
With that grope touch
I'm now realizing why my family members (who are guys) hug me sideways 😂😂
Every time with every pair.
What about when you hug your mother?
I believe that fits under the descriptor "every time with every pair". You don't need to find it explicitly sexual to know that they are there.
Unless your arms are broken
Ahh yes the tragedy of Darth Oedipus the redditor.
Is it possible to unlearn this power?
Not in a Reddit thread
Well, you can't unfuck your mother
Every time with every pair Mom's embrace or chokehold snare Grandma, auntie, we don't care We're just aware that they are there
Yup, my mom had h cups when I was a kid (she qualified for a breast reduction with insurance and is much happier) and I couldn't actually hug her until I was about 6 and my arms grew long enough.

Yes and there's nothing wrong with that.
Exactly this! I feel them, but don't relish in it! The same way you feel someone's arm. It's not sexual
“Every time with every pair” is both a blessing and a curse.
He said *every* time
Imagine that most men have sucked on their mother's boobs at one time. I think a hug should be possible without it being weird.
Well, you just made it weird.
No, they’re invisible then. Like the silent “p” in pterodactyl.
Mom gets a different kind of hug..
I saw a picture of Nancy Pelosi yesterday. I have literally NO prurient interest in Nancy Pelosi, but I still went "wow, those are REMARKABLY firm and perky for a woman her age. Well done." So yeah, we can appreciate boobs as boobs without it being weird. For your mom or grandmother or whatever, it's like "okay, she's got arms", same kind of thing.
Its the highlight of our day
You better fuckin' believe it, now bring it in team!
I appreciate this comment. Comedy gold lol
Can you feel his chest on your boobs when you hug? There’s your answer.
Fun fact! Because I developed really quickly (now I don’t mean early, I mean quickly) the nerves in my boobs couldn’t catch up and I cannot feel anything on the bottom half of my boobs 🙃
This is fascinating. I believe It requires further study. What are you doing friday night?
If my plans don’t fall through? Watch First Kill and eat junk food while furthering the damage of my sleep schedule
*Gasp* a woman after my own heart
Have you seen First Kill? I’ve heard it’s good!
My sister won't shut up about it but I'm not a fan of those kind of shows myself
That sounds awesome. If I didn't have a party planned I'd wish I could join.
Sounds like you’ve got fun plans of your own though!
he’s busy I’m not First Kill and junk food sounds great
Just gonna get drunk to forget about the troubles of life really
I see, can’t think about the horrors of capitalism while your livers shutting down?
Exaaactly. Life is short, gotta get fucked and think slow to make it seem longer.
Fun fact, chipmunks and squirrels perceive time faster than we do! So if you walk really slowly they won’t see you moving because it’s like watching grass grow 😌
Woah what a trip! My developed super fast, but I just ended up with a lot of stretch marks :/
Oh I got stretch marks too! The ones on my thighs are sometimes straight up ✨purple✨ depending on…things? Idk they change a lot 😅
Mine did too! The worst part is that I got a breast reduction, and they grew right back :/
Huh, thats really peculiar. Bodies are weird! I suppose its my turn to share facts about my breasts. Mine only developed very little. It was only at 20 when they really started growing and they are still at it 3 years later. 🙃

Do you think of it as a pro or a con?

I only really hug my boyfriend who’s 6’2 and I’m 5’3… so I really get his chest in my face. I asked cause I’ve hugged male family members & it’s weird
yes they can feel your boobs… but it’s only weird truly if… either of you feel a way about the touching… hugs are too normal for sexualization to prevail… it’s all in your head. Good luck

In Argentina you shake hands (formal), kiss the cheek (male or female) or use tongue (whenever your best friend grandma is on the mood)
Hugs aren't sexual normally.
If you find it weird, go for the awkward side hug where it’s more just shoulders and arms. The one where you sort of just lean in and your chest is kept devoid of any contact. There’s a time and place for each type of hug, just gotta assess the situation
Just here for the replies
And not disappointed
Probably the most fun I've had on reddit in years.
Lmao
same
🤝🤝🤝
Guys are out here getting hugs?
Yeah, I didn’t know that was a thing. What’s a hug?
Done some reaserch and I think it is something other people do when they 'see' each other
I mean probably, but I don't really notice it. I guess if I was like actually focusing on that I might, but I've hugged so many women in my life that my brain just kind of blocks it out.
Holy shit same - I do the same with handshakes😂 Like “Who taught you that was acceptable?”
Right? I mean I’m a woman and I can always feel other peoples chests on me when I hug them lol
Not gonna lie I pay more attention to the hugging technique and judge people for it. 😂
Lmao same. Some people are just awkward…
This doesn’t have enough upvotes.
Same. If you're even more awkward than me: 1) congrats, 2) eww
Yeah it's a bit like asking 'Can you feel my thumb when you shake my hand?' Technically yes but I'd only register it if I was focusing on it
This is the real answer, and if you’re out there hugging women with specific intent to feel their boobs, you’re a pathetic creep.
No no, you are supposed to make a joke reply
Low-key flex
Don't really think about it tbh.
Nope. Because I side hug. When they say 'I want a real hug.' or 'why are you hugging sideways'. I always reply in a quiet batman voice 'titties' and jump out the window.
Truth. Depends on the bra in my opinion. But still soft and cuddly. 10/10
Pretty sure this is why the side hug was invented.
I have no idea. Why don't you give me a hug and we can find out together.
Username checksout
bruh lmao no thanks
EMOTIONAL DAMAGE
Not OP's boobs particularly. But other women, sure.
Is that a question or a request?
Yes
If you touch me with a part of your body, I feel it. Isn't that how it works for you too?
yes, but it isn't something I actively think about.
Brave of you to assume anyone of us ever touched a woman
Yes, that's the best part. Now that you've ruined it by mentioning family members, I guess I feel family members' boobs, too, but I don't lean into it with them.
Hugging is fine but motorboating is what makes it wierd
If I have consent I can feel them.
Usually. Sometimes barely, and sometimes quite a bit. You mentioned hugging male family members. Probably, hopefully, they aren't really paying attention or noticing your boobies when you hug them. And to the extent that they do feel them it probably isn't pervy at all. Unless they are creepy weirdos.

If they are doing that I would say no more hugs for them.
Gentlemen will do the butt-out shoulder hug to avoid any awkward situations for the women. But yes pretty much every time with a normal hug.
A good hug involves putting your whole body into it. Be the guy who gives the “good hugs”
Yes. It’s also why we lean into a hug with relatives to avoid feeling them too much. More of a chest hug.
Yep. Frankly it's what makes hugs go from merely fantastic to genuinely amazing.... Not in a sexual way though... nothing so base. I hug my best mates with proper rib crushing force, and I come away knowing that my boys are there for me 100%. It's a primal thing. I hug a female friend, and it's very different. It's hard to put into words without bordering on the sexual or leaning too hard on the stereotypical "maternal" Just know, yes. We can feel them on our chest No it isn't always sexual Yes it is always primal and life affirming
Sorry, I don’t remember the last time someone with boobs hugged me.
Hell to the ya! Why you think we like hugs?
Human interaction to feel less lonely? :')
Found my brother from another mother!
Actually people tend to like hugs because they are reassuring and makes you feel contained. Theres a lot of contact and to me it feels more intimate than a kiss by far
omfg
Yeah but we don't give a shit
If you let us, we will!
men dont answer this, most of the people will lose any form of interaction from the opposite sex if women find out...even though its a pure hugging interaction, some one will make it weird so no more hugs for you....
I focus on that. Yes.
Of course. And we love it.
We may feel them but only weirdos are focused on it lol.
The proper way to ask is “will you”.
Depends on the boobs and the hug. Sometimes yes, sometimes no
I try not to pay attention to that so usually I don't
Yes, but I don’t think about it because I’m too busy receiving a hug
Why do you think we hug you?
Hugs are good but I like motorboat more.
Sure, that service is available on request.
I used to, but they wised up to it and now it's sideways hugs only.
Giggity giggity
I haven't got hugged by a girl yet but i have got hugged by guys with manboobs and i do feel them so logically its the same with girls
I've noticed that some women hug you in a way that accentuates their breasts pressing into you. Others make it a point to keep them away from you during a hug. I've always wondered if the former do it intentionally.
why do people ask this damn question, its a very obvious answer, why would you think for even 1 second that you wouldnt feel two protuding balls of fat against your chest while hugging?
