@ bles You're as old as you feel. It takes open mindedness on both ends. I've cuddled 19 year olds and 22 year olds. It's a lot of work educating and explaining boundaries and setting expectations. But it's doable. It's not for every woman. Especially if you're still growing emotionally or dealing with life events. It takes keen observation and understanding . And a genuine love of young people in particular if you're 20 years plus older. They also need to be treated with respect . While I Cuddle all ages, I believe people should do what feels comfortable to them.
LOL. I don't think being young male is the mark of a leper here. Try being male, over 45, and married.
@BigHugsPA that sounds like a dream cuddle in my world.
I'm the oldest of ten kids. The youngest is nine, so I cuddle people younger than 20 on the regular—but I know them and they know me (and their parents... that is, my parents... also know me really well).
Pretty sure none of us would be okay with, say, the sixteen-year-old meeting strangers from the internet for cuddles.
At nineteen, though people are legally adult, it still feels kind of weird to some folks. If there's any hesitation, it probably comes from a combination of "but do your parents know where you are?" and "how much self-control did I have at that age?" Whatever the case, look for people of all genders and ages, and your options should open right up.
Good luck, Jon!
I have cuddled people in their early 20s and people in their late 60s. I am 44, so a pretty decent age gap on both ends.
I don't think your age will keep you from finding cuddle buddies; you should be fine.
@DarrenWalker brings up an excellent point in his comment:

This is part of the reason why I have reservations cuddling with someone who isn't at least old enough to drink. Another reason is if it turns out that the user lied about their age now I'm the one in trouble.
This is something that'll vary from person to person. I personally am extremely cautious if someone much younger than me wants to cuddle with me, but this is a personal reservation. You should be able to find someone who doesn't have an issue with your age.
Good luck and happy cuddling!
