As a big hugger, it makes me happy to see two older dudes showing some genuine and friendly affection. You don’t see that as much. Guys get older and I think they feel like they need to get harder, colder, and less emotional—maybe like our dads or grandpas or something from a John Wayne movie, I don’t know. I just hope I can stay a big, gooey softie who hugs people and cries openly till the day I die.
Touch Isolation: How Homophobia Has Robbed All Men of Touch
“In America in particular, if a young man attempts gentle platonic contact with another young man, he faces a very real risk of homophobic backlash either by that person or by those who witness the contact. This is, in part, because we frame all contact by men as being intentionally sexual until proven otherwise. Couple this with the homophobia that runs rampant in our culture, and you get a recipe for increased touch isolation that damages the lives of the vast majority of men. And if you think men have always been hands-off with each other, have a look at an amazing collection of historic photos compiled by Brett and Kate McKay for an article they titled: Bosom Buddies: A Photo History of Male Affection. It’s a remarkable look at male camaraderie as expressed through physical touch in photos dating back to the earliest days of photography.”
I’m a big proponent of deep friendship bro-touching.
