A brief explanation as to why cuddling is good for you

[thearchjoker]

Cuddling is good for you, no really it is. That is because when the two of you touch, you're touch will release all kinds of special hormones in each others bodies that will inhibit stress hormones. Cuddling will also trigger the parasympathetic nervous system, that will also further promote relaxation and calmness.

Cuddling can and will improve you're sleep quality by releasing oxytocin which as you may have guessed, promotes calmness. Cuddling will increase your intimacy with your loved one in a way that strengthens your relationship and does not require sex.

Cuddling can bring out your emotions, making cuddling a powerful way to communicate you're feelings while also being an act of close intimacy.

TLDR: Cuddle your partner its literally good for your wellbeing & relationship

[Makeushiver]

I think specificity would help your argument. The hormone you are most likely referring to is Oxytocin and is usually found in much greater quantities in females than males. It is especially active during pregnancy and lactation which is probably why our species has survived since a kid waking every hour and requiring attention would probably get the type of attention we normally give to anyone that annoying in our lives. Though there is probably some effect that keeps it active it is far more the presence of Oxytocin that creates any "cuddling" desire" than vice versa.

A Snowball effect?

Nice My Take. I was always a big fan of cuddling.

[exitseven]

Thanks for the MHO😎

Everything you wrote is accurate because I've experienced the calmness you wrote about. So calm that I forgot we were in the market surrounded by noisy vendors. It's as if space and time stopped and we were in embrace for a long time. I became so calm and my mind became quiet.

[missindiana93]

I barley cuddle with my partner but I always want to it's just he dosen't unless I'm feeling sad or unloved.

[sean1234]

Lol, here I'm single, wanting everything he cares literally nothing for. 🤣 I'm 42 and have never cuddled with the opposite sex, it's alien to me.

[sean1234]

I want to, but can't for some strange reason. I don't know.

[mandyfire98]

You don't have to tell me, it's one of my favorite things to do.

[EzraIsShy76028]

I mean yeah. This should be fairly obvious to everyone, lol. Though it's good to be reminded of how important even the most basic and simple things are in life.

In general having a support system is good, regardless if you're touchy feely with them or not. For some verbal/emotional support is enough, though for some others physical touch is needed as well.

Either way, I know I definitely enjoy cuddling with my girlfriend, lol. Before her no one ever hugged me, not even my own parents... but when I met her the difference cuddling with her made in my life was definitely night and day in a positive way, haha.

I didn't even know how much I needed hugs and cuddling before I met her. I just assumed I was fine without it. However my life literally became like 10 times better with it, lol.

Just everything about it. Her warm body against mine, her silky smooth soft skin against my own skin, etc... I love it so much words can't describe! Haha.

And I don't even mean it in a sexual way or anything. Just that it feels nice. And for the record, when I mentioned her skin against mine I didn't mean being naked. Just wearing shorts, really. Both of us wear pretty short shorts, so as you can imagine that's a lot of bare leg contact, lol. Definitely also helps that we both shave/wax our legs, so the bare skin on skin contact is even more intense, since it's all skin and no leg hair getting in the way, lol.

There's only one things better than cuddling and that's lying on his chest while listening to his heartbeat with his arms around me. I didn't fall asleep the whole night, it was an absolute vacation for my four senses the touch of our skin, the smell of his body, the sound of his breathing and heartbeat and the taste of his sweat/natural body all combined in a heavenly package. It's been over 6 years since I was last in that position and can hands down say it's better than anything I've experienced, including sex, just 7 hours of heavenly bliss.

[ChillNsweet32]

I've been told that I fit so well in his arms, he loves the way I smell and how comfy & relaxing it is to hold me while we watch TV or sleep. I'm a lot smaller compared to him and when we spoon I'm pretty much the perfect fit in his arms, we sometimes fall asleep like that too.

I love cuddles and hugs

[RubyFrench]

You would be correct on this!
Extremely important to maintain a health relationship or marriage! any kind of touch and connection to healthy they say.


I was on bed rest through the entire last half of my pregnancy (so no sex or penetration) skin to skin and cuddling was what saved the intimacy in our relationship through that time!
.. That and a lot of head 😆

[nolabels]

I'm all for cuddling if my partner and I are spiritually intimate with each other.

Otherwise, just the physical act of cuddling with just anyone who is available doesn't do anything positive for me.
Quite the contrary, as a matter of fact.

• You will know yourself after experiencing.
• Good for me, get pleasure and warmth, get more comfortable and closer.
• Me and my girlfriend sleep with cuddling always in natural ways without clothes on.
• In front of friends and guests my girlfriend sit on my lap with cuddling.9
• For absolutely normal.

[elaphe]

Cuddling doesn't just have to be with your partner. Sometimes I cuddle with my little cousins as we watch a movie. It's a nice way to bond. I was going to add cuddling with mom, but I suppose that would not count as "cuddling" but as hugging.

[PBandJ_Nerd]

I only know hugs, but I know cuddling is just as good and more intimate. Both are great.

[mstbooblover]

Living single since 2017, it's actually cuddling that I most miss...

[MemeSupreme]

it's the exact opposite for me lol like i agree with it being good for the relationship, BUT it literally sucks the life out of me

it gives me the heebie jeebies

[FlamingLass]

Cuddling is the best i don't understand all the people saying they hate it in the comments

[AMS700CX4u2]

I really don't know if should venture this but Individuals who don't want permanent relationships usually don't stick around for cuddling or the oxytocin rush it provides. It softens the wall of resistence and makes them feel vulnerable. But if a relationship is what you desire , I assure it will help keep you together even when the three year infatuation cycle subsides.

[Anonymous]

Great for movie nights, and cooking off after being intimate and connecting even deeper on a further physical, emotional, and psychological level.

[Opinion Owner]

Cooling not cooking🤣

[thearchjoker]

it be funny i pizza was the answer

"A brief explanation as to why cuddling is good for you"

Oh well tooooooo bad for me, lol. Most women want to either cuddle with money or the big city.

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

I get the big city part, women are far more social than men. Even reclusive chicks that are a bit anti-social still like the comfort of being close to a grocery store and a police station, even if they live in a shitty apartment surrounded by meth heads

[Oncewildtwiceburned]

Living in the wilderness is a line I haven’t seen any of them cross yet. Not anymore

[sean1234]

There was no big cities in the past, mostly countrysides.

[sean1234]

We can blame it all on television.

[rienna888]

As in cuddling the person you love? Yes I love cuddling people I love

[Anonymous]

It's also one of the ways that your partner differentiates themselves from anyone else in your life and grows the trust and bond between you.

[Anonymous]

Love cuddling, and it does promote a difrent reaction. I've found I get away with way more if we've been cuddling, but my wife dosent seem to like physical intimacy so I don't get many.

[Anonymous]

I’ve never experienced cuddling where the guy didn’t try to get some. From there on out I've hated being touched! Makes me feel so unwanted and only needed for greed. 🤮

[Anonymous]

I'm asexual. Cuddling my fiancee is the best thing about b4 and after sex.

[clampfan101]

I want/need my girlfriend to be my cuddle buddy. (And continue to be in marriage.)
