First of all I want to thank all of the people I have met here that know what consent means. However, there are some idiots that haven't figured this out yet, you should read below and then delete your page and leave us decent human beings alone.
I only copied what this link says about consent and it should not have to be something that I should have to bring up on a platonic cuddle site.

What is consent?
Consent is a voluntary, enthusiastic, and clear agreement between the participants to engage in specific physical activity. Period.
There is no room for different views on what consent is. People incapacitated by drugs or alcohol cannot consent.
If clear, voluntary, coherent, and ongoing consent is not given by all participants, it’s sexual assault. There’s no room for ambiguity or assumptions when it comes to consent, and there aren’t different rules for people who’ve hooked up before.
Nonconsensual and unwelcomed touch is assault.
Consent is:
Clear
Consent is clear and unambiguous. Is your partner enthusiastically engaging in physical activity? Have they given verbal permission for each physical touch/activity? Then you have clear consent.
Silence is not consent. Never assume you have consent — you should clarify by asking.
Ongoing
You should have permission for every activity at every stage of a physical encounter. It’s also important to note that consent can be removed at any time — after all, people do change their minds!
Coherent
Every participant in physical activity must be capable of granting their consent. If someone is too intoxicated or incapacitated by alcohol or drugs, or is either not awake or fully awake, they’re incapable of giving consent.
Failure to recognize that the other person was too impaired to consent is not “drunk consent.” It’s sexual assault.
Voluntary
Consent should be given freely and willingly. Repeatedly asking someone to engage in a physical act until they eventually say yes is not consent, it’s coercion.
Consent is required for everyone, including people who are in a committed relationship or married or who are being paid for physical services. No one is obliged to do anything they don’t want to do, and being in a relationship, or being handsome, or friends doesn’t obligate a person to engage in any type of physical activity with you.
When and how to ask for consent
It’s crucial to ask for consent before engaging in physical activity. Talking openly about what you both want and setting boundaries is important in any relationship, regardless of whether it’s casual or long term.
In a healthy physical encounter, both parties should feel comfortable communicating their needs without feeling fearful. If you’re initiating touch, and you become angry, frustrated, or insistent when your partner declines any physical activity, this is not okay.
Sexual or nonsexual activity that occurs because of fear, guilt, or pressure is coercion — and it’s a form of sexual assault. If you’re engaging in physical activity and the person declines to go further or seems hesitant, stop for a moment and ask them if they’re comfortable doing that activity or if they want to take a break.
Let them know you don’t want to do anything they don’t feel 100 percent comfortable with, and that there’s no harm in waiting and doing something else.
In any physical encounter, it’s the responsibility of the person initiating the activity to ensure that the other person feels comfortable and safe.
You might worry that asking for consent is going to be a total mood killer, but the alternative — not asking for consent and potentially assaulting someone — is unacceptable.
Consent is necessary and serious, but it doesn’t mean having to sit down for a clinical discussion or signing forms! There are ways to ask for consent that aren’t a total buzzkill.
Besides, if you’re comfortable enough to want to get closer and cuddle, then talking openly about what you both want and need is perfectly fine, and sexy!
