    For me side hugs are for people i know but don’t like too much.

    Full frontal is for people i know and love.

    I also have a half frontal where I only make contact at shoulder level and go mwah mwah with people I don’t really know.

    Full frontal hug = I like you enough to put my boobs on you. 

    Side hug = you’re never touching my boobs.

    The second one won’t be televised until after 9pm by the BBC.

    Side hug is showing affection but keeping guarded. Full frontal hug for me is very special as I am very conscious of my personal space

    Side hugs are for everyone I love except for my mom, kids and husband.

    Idk i like my space and I don’t really like to hug anyone but those ppl anyway.

    Can feel boobs; can’t feel boobs. I’m pretty busty. Men mostly go for the side hug.

    Full frontal: I trust you.

    Side hug: Yeeeah we’re not quite there yet..

    I mean it really depends on the intentions of the individuals involved a side hug can just as intimate.

    My fiancé is the only person I’m willing to give a full-frontal hug to. Boob shmushing is a pretty intimate thing, and mine are big enough that I couldn’t really avoid it.

    So I save it for the one guy who has legitimate access to my ladies.

    I side hug people I don’t have a connection with or don’t feel comfortable with.

    I full frontal hug people I am comfortable with. It took 2 years before I frontal hugged my father in law and his girlfriend lol. They even commented on it once it happened.

    Relationship. If I don’t know you well or am not comfortable with you you get a side hug. If I have an intimate relationship with you I’ll give full frontal hug.

    I wouldn’t hug, frontal or side or any variation for that matter, anyone I wasn’t comfortable with so for me there is no deeper meaning or specific “signal” I am sending when hugging someone.

    Nobody gets any kind of hug unless they’re family🙅‍♀️. In which case either type is fine.

    Full frontal – no one is getting that except a significant other/spouse/boyfriend OR a tiny human OR a beloved pet that lets me do so.

    Side – the one everyone else other than the above gets.

    I don’t consciously choose between these, but I think I subconsciously do. The people I’m closest to get either of those, depending on the circumstances. Others get only side hugs.

    Frontal hug thought: This person will feel my boobs

    Side hug thought: this person will put their hand around my waist

    depends on what I want them to feel/do
