==Description (Hug)==
 
A hug is a form of [[physical]] [[intimacy]] that usually involves closing or holding the arms around another [[person]] or [[group]] of persons. The hug is one of the most common human signs of [[love]] and [[affection]], along with kissing.[1] Unlike some other forms of physical intimacy, it is practiced [[public]]ly and [[private]]ly without stigma in many countries, religions and cultures, within families, and also across age and [[gender]] lines.
