Some do not even hug their own kin. How much as this "He touched me! Eeek!" stems for cultural differences? The way I look at it, unless his hand lingered on tits, ass or vagina, it was not a sexual touch. But I am sure that there are women out there who would view any skin to skin contact as scary.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
