I don't have a ton of cuddle buddy experience, but I've been around the block a few times. I've had one experience with someone I did NOT meet on this site, where he had invited me to "just cuddle" one night. When we went to the room where we planned to cuddle, he stripped and got under the covers before I could say anything, so I did the same. We lasted a couple hours, both even dozed-off a couple times, but eventually it shifted to a sexual situation. I didn't mind, I fully participated, and I had a good time. But I have to wonder, there's a lot of big talkers, no offense intended to anyone, but how many can really do it and keep it platonic? By the way, if you follow the cuddlecomfort rules for the course of the session, and then go home and have sexual fantasies about that cuddle partner, it wasn't platonic. It doesn't make anyone a "bad person," but it is outside the guidelines for this group. I know my belief doesn't square with many of you, but be HONEST with yourself, and examine your motives. Craigs List this isn't!
@gaygramps I have had a nude cuddle pal in the past. It was platonic. She was really into the naturalist thing, and saw in me someone who had no mutual attraction with and someone respectful and mature, who she knew she could have a cuddle with the way she wanted to cuddle, without some bonehead trying to molest her in the process. I felt kind of special that I was entrusted with this. It is not something I would do with anybody though, and other than this one person it is the only nude cuddling I have experienced that was completely platonic in nature.
I think it would all be up to the two people cuddling and what their comfort level is and how good they feel around the person and how much they trust them. I have experienced it before and does feel pretty amazing. Like, it's feeling the closest you can feel to someone, there's nothing as a barrier and could say feels very calming cause there's such a high level of trust. You'll notice you heat up much faster, there's times where it feels hot to the touch, but it varies. When in a position for a very long time, I would say move slowly, cause sometimes bare skin can pull on each other. Another thing is there is a much greater tenancy for arousal, so I would assume both at this point would be comfortable trusting and understand it's still cuddling. This tends to happen when I'm in a very relaxed state, like coming out of a sleep, it's just a thing that happens. I think it could be a possibility, if both are comfortable with it. I think it would be an exceptional circumstance and I wouldn't recommend it with someone new, or trying it on a whim cause you just want to try it. It could feel awkward, cause each person is not really sure what the other is thinking and wouldn't want things to go too far. That's something special I'd keep for someone that are both very understanding of each other and have build a good level of trust.
It's all fun and games until somebody gets a massive erection.
@mike403 what if it was medium instead of massive
A prior poster wrote "I don't think it's fair to pass the judgement that no one can enjoy nude platonic cuddling". I don't think that's fair either, and no one here is saying that. I'm sure there are men who are capable of disrobing and cuddling a naked woman without being emotionally overwhelmed by a desire for intercourse. Those men are homosexuals and/or eunuchs. No one here is condemning consensual sex, but let's call it what it is -- consensual sex or, if money changes hands, prostitution. Those of you who are looking for such things, please feel free to start your own website -- named, perhaps, "Let's Do It!' or "We're Not Those Prudes Over at CuddleComfort." .
