Seeing this reminded me of once (at age 17) when I was babysitting.
(Don't ask...)  The child in question was a boy, somewhere between
4-6 (I don't remember exactly).  He was crying, and I instinctively
picked him up and sat him on my knee and held him close to me.  What
I felt was a warm rush of affection that I had only previously
experienced when kissing (in those days, that was the limit of my
sexual experience) girls.  At that time, it worried me.  Now, of
course, older and more enlightened (and not afraid of any emotions
I might feel), I understand it.  Live and learn.
