As a male therapist I have to be so careful with this.

Even clients who totally trust me have reported that little voice that's learned to be suspicious of men gets a bit worried by physical contact. Taking into account that I don't ever initiate hugs or any kind of touch, that says a lot about the dangers to both parties.
