Japan Hugs it out

Japanese men are not historically touchy-feely. However, the market for effection displaying tools has grown considerably over the past few years and Japanese women are demanding more expressions of love. A 'hugging mat' has been developed that gives instructions on how to hug and even how to cuddle. Getting more physical seems to be Japans next step to becoming more westernized and has received mixed reviews along the way. Some applaud, while others are blaming it for 'worshiping the west'. Either way, theres nothing wrong with starting to embrace each other a little more in the world today where nothing should be taken for granted.
