Being Embraced

I'm not sure if this is the right term for it. But what I really love most of all during a cuddling session is to be embraced. What I really mean to say is that I love to be held and have my head against a person's chest. That way I can feel their heartbeat. Is that the right term to describe it and if so who else enjoys this?

  • That is a good way of putting it. The heart is what pumps blood. The life force of a human. To be embraced and for lack of better words here someone else’s life force is a way to connect spiritually in my opinion

  • I agree, it is a wonderful thing.

  • Sounds like the right term to me, and I totally agree!

  • In theory I love it, in practice have yet to find out.

  • This-with head rubs, too.

  • All my clients love this! It’s wonderful to be held and nurtured. My last client spent about an hour in this position. He didn’t want to move because he was so happy and comfortable. Even clients who say they are touch averse always end up there 😊

  • Oh my goodness ~ All the Yeps and Yeses!!
    That's my absolute favorite!! Especially if they're running their fingers through my hair, over my back or up and down my arm too... So nice!!

    And I like holding oops,
    embracing others in that way too...

    Is it weird I like smelling their hair while doing that though?? Hope not, cause it's usually a really nice sensory stimuli bonus.

  • Yes, I enjoy that type of connection while cuddling as well!🤗

  • My favorite, too, is to be embraced.

  • Absolutely. It is the best feeling wrapping somebody in your arms…and also being held. Since I am a big guy I worry that I might smoosh somebody too much sometimes 😮 but a nice warm embrace sounds nice right about now…

  • Try matching the heartbeats while embracing.... cathartic 🤪

    Being an Ogre I tend to be the mattress in long embraces.

    Which I enjoy.

    I cannot count the number of humans, and cats that have fallen asleep laying on me while I hold them.

    (And two Capuchin monkeys, one tiger cub, and one baby chimpanzee. I volunteered for a while at Forever Wild near Los Angeles.)

    Might as well make the most of the huge body in positive ways too.

  • This is an uber relaxing position!

    I personally like to be the one doing the holding, more so than the one being held. And if they like to hold their head against my chest, then that's fine by me - certainly makes you feel closer.

    So long as you're able to control the amount of your weight on someone and communicate to find what's comfortable for the individual, you should be fine! If you don't have good control/balance then communicate that, so you two can try to find a safe way to cuddle. :)

    Early in my platonic cuddling, given my small stature, I felt concern about cuddling people with above average body type: cause although they'd be * just about * enough and maybe more than enough for me, I felt I wouldn't be good enough for them. Though I since learned even if my cuddles may not be as fulfilling for them, it can still be beneficial. Especially if they don't have a better option. I am sure it'd be better than them hugging their pillows and talking to soccer balls. So I no longer feel uncomfortable about it. Come to think of it, I may be underestimating a bit too much how much of an impact I can make in their lives. Though ideally we'd both feel pretty satisfied.

  • I love this thread! Thank you everyone for sharing ❤

  • @Lovelight ~ I love that last post of yours here!
    Go you!!! 💓👨‍👧

  • @quixotic_life Aw, shucks. Thanks. 😌

    I love this position so much! I feel quite honored when someone is comfortable enough to shed tears or express emotion when I am embracing them.
