You don't happen to mean Nasty People by Jay Carter? Because I have that book! and it's 85 pages... so I bet it's the one you're speaking of

He also has another 2 books, Nasty Men and Nasty Women.

Can you "humor" him out of his mood, "tease" him a bit about his prowess and tickle him into grabbing and hugging you? :-) My husband and I have a ritual where if there's a step, we look at one another and I run over and stand on it and we "fit" perfectly together then and hug :-) Get some fun things like that going for you if you can and it may seem more natural to him to do those things. You can have "codes" like, "I wish there were a step nearby!" and he'll know to hug you. We have a joke where if he winks, I'm supposed to be instantly turned on (so I give a little squirm of pleasure). Play some "games" with him like that so both of you lighten up and communicate better?
