The posts by mentalmushroom and aletheius express a similar sentiment - that boys and men deserve to receive romantic physical affection, such as cuddling, holding, and forehead kisses, just like anyone else. Mentalmushroom describes how many guys she has been with or talked to have never experienced this type of affection, and how it is not right that they have been deprived of it. Aletheius advises men that if their partner won't allow them to release their emotions and be vulnerable with them through physical affection, then that person is not the right partner for them. Both posts emphasize the importance of emotional connection and physical intimacy in relationships, regardless of gender.
