I can't remember where I seen it, I think it was on a comedy show.

Anyway there is a group for people to hug strangers, you pay like £23 a session and you all hug each other. Like all curl up and hug/stroke each other.

The idea behind it is for those to get the 'feel good' factor that a hug can give you, for those who don't have anyone to hug at home.

Well on the clip that was shown it looked more like a major orgy.

So thoughts.. Would YOU pay to hug someone? Are hugs from your OH/family/kids important to you?

Erm, no chance. If I want a hug I get one from my family, but I wouldn't want a stranger hugging me unless I was really desperate. Having said that I do love hugs, especially from my boytwin who is the cuddliest child ever :)

I don't think personally I'd get that warm, secure, feel good feeling I do from hugging family from strangers... So what would be the point?

I especially wouldn't pay for it, I'd just hug some randomer off the street lol.

Yes I hug people all the time :) I hugged a lady today she felt better for it.

No I would pay for hugs. Or take part.

I love hugs, we have snuggle time at home when me and the kids get all our quilts down from upstairs and make a lounge nest and then we all snuggle up and watch a film with me an OH in the middle is lovely! BUT I wouldnt pay for hugs or take part in "group hugging" sounds pervy to me !

I do love hugs from my OH but if I were single I don't think I'd particularly miss hugs well not enough to have a hug orgy LOL.

The thought of it still makes me laugh.
