Billed as "nicest place on the Internet"!

 It had to happen, there are studies that have shown that a twenty second hug reduces the harmful, physical effects of stress, including its impact on your blood pressure and heart rate. That's because prolonged hugging releases oxytocin, a powerful hormone in the brain, only found in mammals.
