Ahh, but there's always a reason!
According to the BBC:
"Both men and women were seen to have higher levels of oxytocin after the hug. People in loving relationships were found to have higher levels of the hormone than others.
But the study also found all women had reduced levels of cortisol following the hug, as well as reporting the blood pressure benefits.
The researchers, led by psychologist Dr Karen Grewen, wrote in Psychosomatic Medicine: 'Greater partner support is linked to higher oxytocin levels for both men and women. 'However, the importance of oxytocin and its potentially cardioprotective effects may be greater for women.'
Dr. Charmaine Griffiths, spokesperson for the British Heart Foundation, said: 'Scientists are increasingly interested in the possibility that positive emotions can be good for your health.
'This study has reinforced research findings that support from a partner, in this case a hug from a loved one, can have beneficial effects on heart health.'
She added: 'British Heart Foundation researchers have already demonstrated links between a positive emotional state, such as happiness, and low levels of the stress hormone, cortisol."
So (((((hug))))) away!

Not really. I have no problem hugging someone when there is genuine affection involved...not strangers.
