It would be nice if pony society included hugs being tossed around casually.

Now, I think picking them up (as much as I'd want to) would be a little TOO creepy and demeaning [lol]

@Ginger: Basically, without any romantic or sexual overtones whatsoever. The point being to not look like a molester.

I really wouldn't Big Macintosh to kick my face in because he though I was messing with Apple Bloom.

[up][up][up][up][up] Either she loves it and practices it,

or she considers it an insult to tea.

Which is funnier?

[up] An episode were Mac loses his temper against a villian would be awesome...and probably terrifying.

No, I mean Tealove is pronounced like "Teh-ah-low-ve" and is very insistent about it.

thing is I don't think hugging would really be a part of pony culture just do the physical differences. At least not in the same context we think of it.

@Seraphem: I think that might be more because they already know Twilight pretty well. It's not like some random pony that they'd never seen before showed up out of nowhere.

But yeah, I really doubt that's as much of an issue in Pony society as it is in ours.

[up]Yeah they have. The one I can remember offhand is Pinkie hugging Twilight in Feeling Pinkie Keen.

I swear I didn't pick this example just to needle you, its just the one I can remember right now.

[up] Hey, don't assume that EVERY mention of Pinkie is gonna piss me off. I'm fine [lol]

They had a group hug in CMC (not sure how much it counts though)

There is no method of snuggling that isn't sexual. You don't just snuggle your parents now don't you?

Twilight and Pinkie have a circle-around-and-hug moment at one point, though I can't for the life of me remember which episode it was in. And, of course, Pinkie hugs all of her friends at once in "Party of One".

[up][up][up]...

[up][up]I know I can think of other examples, but I have no idea where they are. I can see the scenes in my head, but I don't know the episodes.

[up][up]Snuggling, not hugging. There's a difference. A sexy difference. Or adorable, if it's kittens or something.

[up][up][up]That's the one I was referencing. From Pinkie Keen.

Unless we're working off of vastly different definitions of "snuggling", I can't see how one could say that all snuggling is sexual.

[up]I'm going to say that they're basically equal, because we have no indication otherwise.

Fine, most snuggling is sexual. You must have a really good reason to snuggle your parents though.

I know ponies hug, it just seems like it would probly be a bit, different, on a social meaning basis due to the physical differences. Mostly, I'd think hugging would be for much closer relationships then humans, just due to the added trust of letting somepony put the very hard, very dangerous hooves right next to your very voulnerable face. plus it's a bit more awkward for them to DO the huggin so would take a bit more effort.

[up][up][up]While snuggling itself isn't really all that sexual, it isn't really something adults do with someone they aren't in a relationship with. So sexual by proxy I guess?

but again it all depends on how well you can apply human social norms, to a non-human society.

So snuggling a kitten or a puppy or a teddy bear would be sexual? Because that's the kind of snuggling that would probably occur if someone from this thread met a pony.

Well those are hugging. Wait I think I have a different defination of the word "snuggle". It's mostly used to the act couples do after post-coitus.

[up][up] I imagine it might be a bit demeaning for the pony in question, but I don't think I'd be able to resist the Cuteness Proximity [lol]
