To know how to effectively cuddle, it is important to know what cuddling is. Cuddling is holding someone close in a tender, loving, affectionate manner. Cuddling can provide comfort and is often times useful when feeling lonely. The basic concept of cuddling should signify a bond and or closeness like no other.
with Two people unfamiliar with one another’s touch, their smell or even their approach on how they touch can be offsetting and nerving. This is true for me when starting an ANR.
Why do I bring this up? Because. I crave human touch. It is my number one love language. At work, I will find myself given away at least 15 hugs a day… and sometimes to a person who will come back for more than their one hug, stating, “Thanks, “I needed that, I needed more”.
Cuddling and ANR for me, are almost identical. I NEED cuddling, I crave the intimacy of it. I enjoy the release of oxytocin, or the high I get from it, when I am psychologically connected to my partner and all pretzeled up in their embrace. The very idea of becoming one with my partner thru embrace is intoxicating and a very attractive quality in a human. I cannot express enough of the importance and necessity of cuddling whether it be with your kids, spouse, friends or with or without the presence of ANR.
My passion for human touch goes beyond this site. I found myself joining a cuddling site since my state (California has over 50 million ppl in it) and the closest ones with potential for ANR are 60+ miles away. I decided cuddling was a 2nd best. I often wonder am I the only one, who needs this constant touch. And what lengths are you willing to go to have it. Are there other cuddler enthusiast here who like, or “Get into” ANR for the touch.
Top 5 benefits to cuddling.

4. Strong connection
5. emotional InTouch with your needsI had a conversation with a fellow ANR person here, who stated he would of been satisfied with just cuddling. My heart skipped a beat when he spoke those words. He has no idea lol

Your thoughts??
I like this post and cuddles are awesome
Lol, these guys! 😂🤣 their wives must be so chill 🙈 omg though, the timing of this is so weird for me because I was going to write a cuddle related post 😳 but I won’t talk about it here on your post. Yeah, I’m such a cuddle monster and I am seriously considering becoming a cuddle therapist 🤗 I would have to make sure to empty my breasts before a cuddle session though, because I don’t want to spring a leak on someone 😬🍈💦🍈💦🤦🏼♀️
I believe cuddling is essential and affirming. The energy and feeling transmitted in a physical touch can be very deep.
Leaking breasts would not be a bad thing either.Cuddles, snuggles and suckles seem to go together naturally. Just like peas and carrots. 😜🤗
Cuddling is essential for me too, but no one to cuddle. lol
Both person must feel comfortable and at ease with each other.I have been a member of the platonic cuddling community for years and have worked as a professional cuddler as well. The community has a lot of issues due to the public at large still equating it with sex work, and their trying to distance themselves from that association. CuddleComfort is by far the best website to find a cuddle partner… but there’s a lot of pitfalls and (for the women) predators.
Overall, my experience with cuddling has been one of healing and community. However, in order to utilize it fully and safely there is a steep learning curve that most don’t bother learning and instead up bitter or as victims.
I love cuddling, it so relaxing. I had a platonic cuddle buddy many years ago, some nights it was the only way I could fall asleep.
I am the same and crave it. Before I met my Ex, I was so desperate for a guy’s touch that I wanted to go up to guys on the street and ask them for a hug…
When I was with my Ex, he would hold me almost all night and for the first time in my life, I was able to sleep. And during my nightmares, he would hold me tighter. I miss that connection! (Him, not at all! LOL)Now it can be months without a hug as my son is Autistic and doesn’t hug. It really takes a toll on my mental state. I bought a puppy recently to help, but still crave being held.
@milkme22 Try laying on the couch with the puppy and a weighted blanket. The couch was the next beast thing when I was going through my divorce, I slept on the couch for about 3 months after I kicked him out.
The cushions could cradle my back and the weighted blanket gave the feeling of being held, if a blanket is too much there are weighted pads and shawls.
Nice discussion point and glad to know that many of us enjoy snuggles and comfort also. Did you know that in 90seconds your heart beats sync if the cuddle is done right
Lovely post Brtfly that sums up cuddling perfectly, cuddles are so, so importants along with suckling, holding hands and kissing.
My primary love language is touch. I am DYING for touch and love to cuddle. However, I am also highly sexual so platonic cuddling is…difficult for me.
Because of that, I would rather go without cuddles than to risk offending someone or doing something stupid.
It makes it hell for me every day, but I’ve had a LOT of practice living without touch.
