Types of Hugs

From a friendly hug to a passionate squeeze, hugging is the universal language of love, comfort, and friendship. Read through this list of different types of hugs and pick a few to try with your sweetie. If you have an different type of hug that you'd like to see here, submit it and we'll add it to the list.

More Hug Types:

'I Love You' Hug

A close cheek-to-cheek hug that says "I Love You" even more with an added kiss on the lips.

'I Want You Now' Hug

A close hug with a bit of rubbing and grinding.

Big Bear Hug

Pull your partner in really, really, really close, put your arms completely around them, and squeeze tight.

Butt Squeeze Hug

A sexy, passionate hug. Pull your partner in close, lift your leg around their legs and give their butt a passionate squeeze.

Ecstatic Jump-n-Hug

Run at your partner and jump into their arms with excitement!

Encouraging Hug

Pull your partner close and give them a gentle squeeze with a light pat on the back.

Friendly Hug

Put your arms lightly around your partner's shoulders and give a gentle squeeze.

Group Hug

A hug involving multiple people - family or friends - where you all put your arms around one another.

Half Hug

A quick wrap, lightly touching your partner where your arms only go halfway around (hence, half a hug).

Hello & Goodbye Hug

A quick, semi-close hug paired with a kiss on the cheek.

Hug of Joy

A semi-close hug with excitement and movement that often times includes a bit of excitement jumping.

Passionate Squeeze

Pull your partner in closely and give them a passionate squeeze as you gently kiss along their neck.

Snuggle Hug

Usually works best when sitting on a couch, etc. Drape your arm around your partner's shoulders and snuggle up in close!

Spoon Hug

While not normally thought of as a hug, the 'spoon' is essentially your arms wrapped around your partner -- a hug! While lying in bed on your side, pull your partner close and wrap your body around theirs in a 'spoon' position.

Sympathy Hug

Pull your partner close and lay their head lightly on your shoulder as you give their back a light rub.

Tree Hug

Find a large tree (perhaps while picnic-ing), and each partner wrap their arms around the tree to meet the other partner's hands.
