	Something that no one's addressed yet is the GROUP HUG.
The synergy possible in a group hug is unlimited.  There's a group
of people that I went to college with.  In school, we were a "hands
off" bunch.  We've since discovered that hugging can be beneficial
for us all.  The women had no problems hugging the men or the other
women; it took a while for the men to feel comfortable hugging
other men.  Now that we are, the love among us is fantastic.
	It's rather more philia than eros, and it's wonderful.
The children of the group insist on participating (they know
a good thing!), and even my cats are much more responsive to me
after I've been with my friends.  I recommend it highly.
