A show of affection is a way to express love and care for someone. Bearhug, HUG, EMBRACE, KISS, CARESS, sweetkiss, and ahugandakiss are all examples of physical displays of affection. A bearhug is a tight HUG that is usually given with both arms around the person. A HUG is a less intense version of a bearhug, with one arm around the person. An EMBRACE is a HUG that is usually longer and more intimate than a regular HUG. A KISS is a gesture of affection that involves pressing one's lips against another person's skin. CARESS is a gentle touch or stroke that is meant to show affection. Sweetkiss is a term used to describe a KISS that is particularly tender and loving. Ahugandakiss is a combination of a HUG and a KISS, which is a very intimate way to show affection.
