This is confusing. If this is platonic, then why not cuddle w/your buddies of the same sex? Why does it have to be the opposite sex when you have no ulterior motives and the same for her? I'm sorry, a male and female, getting physical, sooner or later, something is bound to happen. Why do you have to cuddle exclusively just w/each others? If you were in a relationship, would you still cuddle her and would your gf be ok w/that or if your gf had male bff that she cuddles with? Esp when there's alcohol involved, it gives a possibility for something to happen and then blame it on the alcohol. Why even start it? When there's a possibility for anything to happen? And that's why you're asking abt this, coz deep down inside, you know there's a possibility. So don't even go there. It's like if somebody has an addiction for alcohol and works at a liquor store or as a bartender. Is that a wise, safe and secure decisions? I don't know, I don't buy into it's just platonic. For you to even be aware that you might get aroused, answers your concern. There's those stories when a F and a M are bff, they end up hooking up or fall in love, The more you spend time together, the more you get attached and prolly jealous if they have a friend of the opposite sex. It's just a matter of time. I think, it's just a lie to fool yourself or a cover up fr other ppl. Feeding into the delulu lol Best course of actions, keep hands to yourself and go hug others that you wouldn't get aroused to. That's a big no no. A recipe for disaster lol don't do it, don't go there lol you can support her in other ways, be emotionally supportive but just not physically. You Think you're gonna remember to position yourself when you're abt to get a bone haha and how abt her physical reaction? She's prolly velnerable and get confused w/love and lust. Too much temptations. Like would you trust to leave your gf to cuddle while watching Netflix lol I don't think so lol
