@o0ashley I love this (I also really enjoy gently using fingers and nails going up and down and circles around my back and to reciprocate.) I also love putting my fingers through a womans hair and making them fall asleep haha Same with gentle strokes along their body like arms, neck or back..
@Lovelight From the chart I enjoy A,B and F ...... & well E is just funny! lmfao I also enjoy being the big spoon most of the time, however I do enjoy being the little spoon sometimes, I feel I need comfort when I am upset or breakdown and this is the most helpful.
Plus the one @Scarlette said - (However, I really like when my cuddle partner lays on his stomach and I straddle him, laying my chest on his back. It's a comfy way to give a nice back rub then the warmth of body to body, cheek to cheek.)
I also enjoy cuddle partner laying on my legs as I play with their hair and rub their back . I love chest laying as well if I’m confortable with the person .
LoL
I can do A-Z, well almost. Whatever the comfort. Yes it's nice picture.
Edit: I do find E silly too. :P
Yes to all of those, @cuddlebugTM. Awesome.
The girl with her arms spread looks like she is allowing herself to be cuddled, but really wants no part of it. Jim
Arms out isn’t how I usually do unless it’s becsyse my arms are going dead .
I would like to join in...even though I cant say "from experience".... so my favorite is somewhat "assumed" but I like to think comes from the heart (im being serious, dont laugh please). For me, /i think the "mamma bear" would be tops.... and, selfishly for now, I would wish to be little bear..... damn, even thinking about makes me smile and wish! s'ai la vive (ps- watched a bit on youtube with Cuddle Sanctuary's lovely Jean demonstrating.... would be cool to try one day....)
You can all download the cuddle sutra for free although I don’t think it’s all that great of a book.

Thanks @Morpheus! Is there a better resource you would recommend? I have been having trouble finding any comprehensive sources with good pictures/descriptions...
I say just go with what feels good
@HarcoDude Sounds like Jimbo might have come across something with that YouTube video. Might have something good for you to check out there.
@j4jimbo That is a great position hun! I hope you get a chance to enjoy it soon.
So one thing that I like to do before a cuddle session is take a shower an hour or two before meeting up. That way my hair and skin is extra soft to the touch. I use dove body wash for soft skin and herbal essences for soft really great smelling hair. Light some candles, maybe turn on some music and jump into bed to cuddle up. So relaxing!
Yea me too ,I do body scrub and make sure I’m soft and clean . I like skin to skin personally . Also make sure feet are cared for so They don’t injure anyone with a toe nail lol.
Hahaha @cuddlebug good idea! Don't want to accidentally shank anyone with a toenail. Lol
@cuddlebugTM good idea, nothing worse than being clawed by someones tree climbers
I'm not sure why, but when my ex and I were were still dating, I always felt most at peace when I was laying flat on my stomach, and her lying on top of me. Kind of a weird dynamic since my height has always rendered me as the big spoon.
On the above image - I love the bottom-center photo (I also like it vice versa with the male/female switched). I don't know why, I think it's just so adorable Maybe it's that tummies are a vulnerable place? Idk lol
@Morpheus : +1. Although I do the other positions as well to break up the monotony. Several partners have fallen asleep laying full body atop me with her head on my chest. It feels wonderful.
Awe. Those are very nice @apvalerius looks very peaceful
Thank you, @o0ashley I have enjoyed Forking since September of 2009 when I was first cuddled as an adult. It was the first cuddling position I ever did. The Cuddle Sutra calls the bottom one Breakfast in Bed. The book describes doing Breakfast in Bed with one person on top of the other, but me & my cuddlers generally lay on our sides, my head below her chin, with full frontal contact as depicted.
I've heard the cuddle sutra a few times. Is it a worthwhile purchase?
No it’s not a worthwhile purchase mostly cause you can get it for free. I posted it in this thread near the top.
I'm pretty much a fan of all posted positions, except for where the couples heads are touching, each others shoulders. Touching and holding a guy for long periods as I stroke his hair/bald head, is awesome for me.
I love the position suggested by @Morpheus. However I used to be a very big girl, almost 80 lbs more than where I sit now. When my husband and I dated at my full weight and laid like this I always worried about crushing him! And even though I know you literally can't, I just still find it so vulnerable to lay on top of someone. I get this anxiety that I'm putting pressure on their organs. Help me, it's a silly fear.
I like to have my back against a wall/bedframe, and have my legs open in like a V shape, and have my cuddle buddy lay up their back against my belly. Then I spider monkey wrap my arms around them hehe. Its sooo cozy, I can almost fall asleep. Another one I like, but not for super long time is like the cuddle buddy lays on his belly and then I lay on their back. Breathing gets a bit weird though so thats why not for too long lol.
Spider monkey cuddles sound awesome @Brandi lol. Straddling would be best if I could find someone who didn't make it weird.. My favorite cuddle position (receiving) is to be face to face sort of with my arms close to me and the other person's arms around me with my head under their chin. I guess similar to how one would hold a child. I like to give cuddles where I can be the one to hold them and have their head on my shoulder and play in their hair, rub their arms or back, and help them feel as relaxed and comforted as possible.. Switching between a few positions throughout a session makes it feel like there's mutual cuddling rather than it being one-sided.
from those on the photo illustration... my favorites are A, B, and F
Hmm if he is the right height my fav would be him on his back, me on my side, my head on his chest right underneath his armpit area. Legs intertwined is a plus.
