Fathers love affection as well

We are often culturally taught that boys / men should not express emotions much. However, every human being has a need to feel loved. If you have a child, you crave for a hug and embrace from your child. That desire will never leave you even if your child no longer has the desire to embrace you. Have we ever wondered how our own fathers would want to be loved? Have we stopped showing affection after we have grown up?
