FreeHugs FAQ: The Unofficial Guide to Not Getting Arrested While Hugging Strangers

In a world where physical touch is slowly becoming a crime, we've got you covered! Our FAQ will help you navigate the complex web of hug-related laws and regulations.

Q: What is the minimum amount of space I need between me and the person I'm hugging?

A: According to the Hug-Gestalt Act of 2025, you must maintain a distance of at least 3 feet between yourself and the person you're hugging. Any less, and it's considered "inappropriately close." Don't be that guy.

Q: Can I still hug my neighbors, even if they're wearing a "No Hugging" sign?!

A: Ah, you're one of those rebels, eh? While we admire your spirit, the answer is no. The "No Hugging" sign is not just a suggestion, it's a warning: "Beware of Huggers." Don't test your luck, pal. Learn more about Hug-Sign regulations.

Q: Are there any exceptions to the Hug-Gestalt Act?

A: Yes! If you're hugging a baby, or a service animal, or a person in a coma, you're exempt. Just don't try to hug a robot; that's just weird. Check out our Hug-Exemption guide.
