Reasoning for cuddling with a pillow at night?

[Anonymous]

I always need a pillow to cuddle with to get to sleep. I can't get to sleep on my back, or without hugging a pillow. I put it in between my legs(upper thighs), and hug the rest of it. It's long, I wish it was longer so I could huge it more. It's not a sexual thing, I just seem to need it, and the embrace feels good.

Why do you think I need a pillow to cuddle with to get to sleep? When I'm relaxing I also like to cuddle up on my bed with the pillow. I'm 16, is this normal?

I have an idea, but don't want to skew your answers, so I'll let you decide solely on this.

I do the same thing. I think it is because you, weither you know it or not, desire true romantic companionship (romance doesn't mean sexual desires). The reason I do it is because I miss my boyfriend/bestfriend. I miss his loving embrace, for in his arms I feel safe and trully loved. He is the only one that makes me happy. When I hold the pillow it reminds me of him! Plus a pillow was just MADE to cuddly with! Xj

Its comforting and soothing. Its called the fetal position and you spent about 9 straight months of your life like that. Its a sense of security, and most everybody does it.

I do the same thing dude. I have a body pillow though, so it's like 5 feet long. I just find it a lot more comfortable than lying on my back.
