This is a fantastic article about the lack of male-to-male touch.
I have often thought about this, and wondered how to change it. I’m not a greatly touchy person to anyone, but I wonder if that is just because I’ve been conditioned to not touch because I am male. It would be nicer to easily embrace friends when comfort is needed—or even in times of joy. I usually like to receive touch…so why can’t I give it? I certainly don’t have ingrained homophobic feelings…but it just doesn’t happen.
