Guys, How does platonic cuddling make you feel towards a woman?

[Crimsyjo]

If a friend say when you watching tv just wants to lay her head on your chest and have your arm around her. How does that make you feel? Is it uncomfortable? Or triggers protective feelings? I'm presuming you are single. It wouldn't be appropriate otherwise.

[ohsheeT]

Warm and fuzzy. But no matter what I'm still going to use my hands to feel And then probably every part of my body I'll start using
Lol

[Crimsyjo]

Haha yeah. If that woman was me... that's what I'd be hoping for with my cuddling technique lol

[LunarEclipse433]

Protective and horny

[Crimsyjo]

Yum..

[Blunky]

I don't know of a single heterosexual -adult- male that doesn't appreciate a woman laying on him when watching TV. One of my FWBs likes it when I curl up on her. Something about someone almost twice her size showing vulnerability turns her on. I do it out of habit because I like giving hugs and women really seem to like how I give them. A quick squeeze and a slightly long hold with either a kiss on the head or rubbing of the back / shoulders. Definitely triggers my protective instinct when doing so.

I had a few female friends when I was younger. Sometimes we would hold hands at the movies and sometimes cuddle a little while watching tv. Sometimes I would get get confused about my feelings.

[Crimsyjo]

Yeah right. It's so comforting and there's a human need for intimacy and touch isn't there. So familiarity (friendship) and cuddles can definitely be a mixed signal.

I posted this as I'm enjoying cuddling up and hanging with one of my FBs a lot lately. Feel like we getting a bit of a bestie vibe. Last night we were playing pool online. But then he came to mine so we could still play pool online but be physically close to eachother. And watched a movie. No sex. No sleepover. Cos we both had important things to do in morning. But cuddling with him is getting addictive. And he's been acting more jealous when I get texts from other guys. So I wondered if cuddling is doing something...

[exitseven]

I sometimes would get confused about her and she would sometimes get confused about me but we never got confused at the same time.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I don't want any part of the cuddle you described, it's much too intimate for my taste and capabilities, any friend I have or will have would get that.

nah... nah... nah

[Crimsyjo]

Hahaha

[SixFootSexy]

Is she attractive? Does she show a lot of cleavage? Is she going to do a booty scootch-scootch? Will I be judged if I get a boner and want a HJ or a BJ?

Women are usually too sexy, soft and smell nice for a strictly 'platonic' cuddle.

One time I cuddled a female friend (who I thought was below average) during a movie, and she started catching feelings and acting weird around me afterwards.

If she's not immediate family, platonic cuddles are usually a bad idea.

[MannMitAntworten]

The one time this happened we ended up having sex everywhere. Did it change my feelings towards her? No. Did it scratch a mutual itch? Yes. It is how I ended up having my first fuck buddy.


Pretty much it gave us both a biological/hormonal response. She knew what she was doing…

[Crimsyjo]

Haha very true! I do it hoping it will arouse the guy too. Tho I do also just really enjoy the intimacy of it.

[soe11]

Crimsyjo
Your not a hypocrite person.
Absolutely rights, my girlfriend does same thing.

[Mark987]

I actually have had picked up a few women in my life and when didn't have sex. We just went back to my or her place and cuddled and watched movies. I actually enjoy it a lot, I am a BIG cuddler.

[soe11]

• Absolutely enjoyable.
• We all at home wearing only bottom, Thong no top at all.
• We lay on one another in different positions while we watching TV.
• While we watching Play oral.

[Cormac995]

I've never even heard of platonic cuddling.

[NathanDavis]

a friend of mine has been like that forever...

it's not a big deal really

[Anonymous]

I don’t platonically cuddle. It does nothing for me. It makes me want something sexual. Men shouldn’t platonically cuddle unless he’s gay.

[Crimsyjo]

What about in a friends with benefits situation? Or is that still a boundary you wouldn't cross?

[Opinion Owner]

On that situation I might. If she’s given me what I wanted w is obviously the friends with benefits part of it, yes I could if that’s what she requires. I just don’t want it to lead to more feelings on her part the way it usually does for a lot of women.

[Crimsyjo]

Hahaha yeah that's what I wondered. If it leads to feelings. On both sides

[Opinion Owner]

Yes it could, especially on the girls side. Most men aren’t going to catch feelings in an friends with benefits situation.

[Crimsyjo]

I like feelings. Makes sex better. And I choose or like guys with feelings too. It's why I friends with benefits much younger guys. Cos we can feel without confusion that it means anything as there's no longterm or relationship potential.

If I friends with benefits someone over age 35 I'd prob get confused and hurt.

[ProbablyClueless]

I certainly wouldn't feel platonically about her.

[Crimsyjo]

Would you enjoy it? And does it increase feelings for her then if wasn't any before then other than friendship?

[ProbablyClueless]

It would increase feelings, yes. I would enjoy the cuddling.

You said it yourself in the body of your question; cuddling with a female friend wouldn't be appropriate if everyone involved wasn't single.

[Crimsyjo]

Yes that would be manipulative of the woman to do that to a taken man.

I enjoy cuddling my FB. Watching tv or whilst he's playing games on his phone I like putting my head on his chest and arm round me. Or sleeping cuddled stroking his chest. He's been acting more affectionate and getting jealous when I message other guys recently. Before we could kinda talk about that stuff fine.

[ProbablyClueless]

Exactly. I want push back on the idea of platonic cuddling lol. I don't think it's possible for men and women cuddle up in a totally non-sexual fashion. Even if your question, this isn't a friend you're asking about; this is someone you're having sex with.

[DrPepper12]

That's a sign she's interested unless explicit beforehand

[Crimsyjo]

Totally true haha

[PaleDale]

It's a warm sensation, makes me feel close. Every now and then I get inadvertently aroused but in which case I keep it to myself.

[krin_m]

I have never experienced platonic cuddling. Just being honest.

[Crimsyjo]

Is it too much a intimacy thing to do?
I do it for the intimacy. I love it. But didn't want my FB to be uncomfortable if it feels like I'm getting too attached. Or confusing him getting him attached?

[Jerre]

I like and enjoy the cuddling, but I usually have my had holding her breast.

[Tstrbrainer]

There's nothing platonic with me and a woman 😉

[Crimsyjo]

Same. If I'm touching a guy... I'm into him.

[spartan55]

You must have nice boobs.

[nawtee_me]

Horny even if nothing happens

[Anonymous]

I don't cuddle with friends

[Crimsyjo]

Imagine you were out with a mixed group of friends. Maybe a upscale bar. With couches in seating areas. Your sat down. One female friend comes, sits next to you. Your having an interesting discussion. Relaxed. She feels tired. Maybe a little cold. She lifts your arm to lay closer, putting her head on your chest abd arm across her shoulders. Still talking on topic.

What do you think? Are you uncomfortable? Do you think she is making a move?

[Opinion Owner]

I would get up and move

[Crimsyjo]

Haha. You don't like touch? Intimacy?

I don't really either unless with someone I'm attracted to.

[Opinion Owner]

My girlfriend wouldn't approve lol

[Crimsyjo]

Well I did say this is for if single only.

[Bklynbadboy12]

That will always lead to something more

[stratford]

Horny lol

[Crimsyjo]

Haha. That's usually the goal of the woman lol

[stratford]

It's the tease that kills me

[yotaman99]

I don’t mind at all

[MasterKS]

Boring works!
