So, Why Adopt A Cuddle Buddy?
Cuddling is a soothing, and therapeutic activity. Cuddling releases a hormone secreted by the posterior lobe of the pituitary gland called oxytocin. Also known as the "cuddle hormone", oxytocin has long been known as the warm, fuzzy hormone that promotes feelings of love, social bonding and well being. It lowers levels of the stress hormone cortisol and helps strengthen the immune system. When life gets stressful or anxiety and depression hits hard, sometimes a hug or a good snuggle can calm breathing, ease pain signals and overall help you feel more relaxed.
Me As A Cuddler
I tend to be a more "active" cuddler, meaning I don't like to stay in one position for too long. I like spooning, jetpacking, laying face to face, tight squishy hugs, playing with hands, hair, back rubs, and caressing
Our Cuddling Session
I like to cater our cuddling time to you! Do you have a favorite genre of music? Let me know and I'll curate a playlist for our time together? What's your favorite movie? I'm a bit of a film nerd, and I'll be sure to find something in a similar vein for us both to enjoy.
Behavior
All I ask is that you please refrain from smoking cigarettes or wearing strong perfume right before our cuddle session, as these scents irritate my sinuses.
Conclusion
Cuddling is one of the most amazing things you can do. If you need a warm, kind-hearted and soothing cuddle then, by all means, message me! I'd much rather you send me an orange envelope as opposed to a Reddit PM, as these don't always come through when I'm on mobile. For your safety and mine, I'd like to meet over coffee first so that we both get a feel for one another! I look forward to hearing from you all! :)
