When ex-T (female like me) eventually allowed occasional hugs (after like 4 years), they were generally warm, though just top half of body touching. She hugged me pretty tightly a few times, like after ex-MC's wife died, and I was very upset about it. I've never hugged ex-MC or current T (both male) and feel it might be weird if I did (especially due to some off and on transference). Both shook/shake hands at the end of session though, and they're very warm handshakes, if that makes sense. Like T's hands are always literally very warm, and it feels more like a hand squeeze than a shake at times.
