I'm a Rough Rider, Filled With Christ's Love! Gimme that Christian side-hug!

The Christan side hug is a means by which young Christians can show affection for each other without engaging in possibly tempting and impure front-to-front contact.

Instead of hugging face-to-face, the huggers stand side-by-side, and can be facing either the same way or in opposite directions. Unlike frontal hugging, side hugs minimise the risk of an eternal damnation which could result from possible incidental contact with a boob or penis of somebody to whom one is not married.

For extra affection, the side hug may be accompanied by a few non-contact blessing pats.[1] If even the side hug is too intense, you can work up to it coyly with this elaborate sequence of gestures.[2] There's even a Christian side hug rap.[3]
