I tend to squeeze and do a little awkward sway. 

That sound fun and very girlie. I am defiantly going to have to give that a try.

  Hugs (and a bit of an awkward sway), Roxy

It may stem from being held as a child and rocked by my mom. I never realized it until living with my wife, that I would kind of rock myself to sleep. My wife promptly broke me of that habit!   

I really like hugs and prefer to be pretty affectionate in general with people I care about.

Contact comfort is life nourishing.

I was trying to find the words to say that.  Thank you for this.

My SO was hovering over my shoulder as I was reading/replying to this topic so I just had to give him a hug.

I don't think I could live without hugs. Contact comfort is life nourishing.

Sway?  I thought that was just a normal part of hugging.
Yep I do it too.
Especially with my grandchildren and they love me right back.
More long hugs with the little sway.

Always been a hugger. However no squeezing for me now. 

Aw, come on Val. Let me give you a good squeeze! 

Hugs are important to me and just like Colleen I give a squeeze and a kiss on the cheek to people I like or I didn't see for a while.
I have some co workers i realy like, and when they come back from holiday or something I'll always give them a hug while saying, hey glad you're back, good to see you again.
Some people already spread their arm when they see me because they know what's gonna happend
Now they call me the hugnurse, I think that's an honered title.
stacy, did you change your avatar, you look great, I love that picture, it's so feminine.

hugs

I'm in complete agreement with everyone here.  Hugs are a simple way to show someone that you care.  Not only that, without a good hug, it makes people feel somewhat disjointed and not wanted.  Plus, a great hug can lead to wonderful things.  I've never tried the swaying, but sometimes I enjoy giving a mini-massage while I hug sometimes.

Thank you for sharing, Roxy.
