You know, Freud wasn't right all the time. Besides, that explanation completely ignores same-sex hugs. I personally haven't ever felt the desire to hug a male clinician, but females are a different story. Not everything is about sex. I think it's more often about just wanting some physical comforting than some sort of complicated unconscious desire.
Thanks for this!
