1. If motion stops (no back-patting, etc.,) or you start to relax (getting comfortable) for more than about 1/2 second
2. If the hug progresses tightens, or includes suggestive rubbing, say, of the very lower back
3. if there is a hint of coercion -- that is one person trys to withdraw, but the other resists
Anyway, in any of these situations, something more than "hello" or "goodbye" is going on, and 20 seconds sounds plenty long enough to accomplish something.

1. If motion stops (no back-patting, etc.,) or you start to relax (getting comfortable) for more than about 1/2 second
2. If the hug progresses tightens, or includes suggestive rubbing, say, of the very lower back
3. if there is a hint of coercion -- that is one person trys to withdraw, but the other resists
