Hello fellow cuddlers, is it just me but after a cuddle from a women I feel like I have had a rush if feel good hormones… a blast of energy….
My cuddlers and I usually feel really good for about the next day or so.
No, no, it's everybody. Oxytocin is not an endorphin, but it is the hormone most associated with cuddling.
New to the neighborhood? ^^
No, not just you. A nice warm touch is like cooling yourself off or drinking a cold drink on a hot day. It may even boost your confidence.
Pretty sure that's why people are so into it... Though I don't actually get the oxytocin thing people rave about... I believe I experience more of a serotonin boost than anything else. Still, pretty sweet though! 😊

Quick search revealed...
"It’s normal for your levels of these chemicals to ebb and flow from day to day."
"The four main happiness chemicals are serotonin, dopamine, endorphins and oxytocin. Each one has an impact on happiness, with effects ranging from boosting pleasure and satisfaction to controlling stress and anxiety."
And plenty of sites promote cuddling to boost one to all four ~ Whoot! 🤗
