Is cuddling an act, an experience or both?

I'm new here. But I do have a conversation I'm curious to begin if it hasn't already been discussed here before. That is, what does the act and whole experience of cuddling mean to different people?
It means something different to men and women, different racial, ethnic groups and nationalities as well as socioeconomic classes of people.
I'd like to challenge people to give their own definitions of cuddling.
What does the act of physically holding and hugging mean for you in your experience or in your feeling? Is it just a sensual thing or is it a combination of that and much more? What does it mean to touch? Can you cuddle and snuggle and have the same experience? Is snuggling and cuddling the same thing: the act and the experience?
When I say 'act',I mean the physical holding and hugging and touching. When I say 'experience' I mean the conversation, face-face meeting, physical touching, pauses, silences, routines and everything in between.

For me cuddling is multi dimensional and personal. What it ultimately is depends on who is involved and what they want. If my opinion needs more clarity, feel free to message me.

    It varies from person to person I have found. For example, some people think a great Cuddle is one where they sleep which I abhor. Neither is wrong—just preference.

    It's a feeling of comfort .Like a blanket or a hot cup of coffee. Touching, warmth,.Home ,

    Cuddling is something I can't put into words totally. It is a closeness and bonding with another person. It can be very intimate. Adding platonic touch into your time and companionship with another person it is like a friendship with benefits. You get the physical, emotional benefits

    For me, it is the bittersweet duality that defines the cuddling experience. There is an emptiness in the freedom of being alone and a release in being ensnared in someone else's embrace. They are the trap that I've been wanting to fall into my whole life. Liberty from them would simply return me to my prison of solitary confinement.

    It is as if we speak the same language without saying a word. My soul is nourished with the energy that radiates from their touch. I am the softness they seek and they are the cradle for my head and heart. And if that isn't magic then I cannot say what is.
