@cuddlefaery I am so terribly sorry on the passing of your mother. I am sure she is looking down PROUD of all of the work you are doing now.
@CuddlelessinLB , I hear ya! My sister is across the country , too… and is someone I’ve always leaned on during movies or shared a back rub with. I enjoy cuddling all genders, as everyone brings their own energy. 😊
I will say, perhaps because of sister vibes—I often find myself laughing more in cuddles with other women than with the average male cuddler… 😂
@cuddlefaery —such a hard thing to not to have a nurturing connection to your momma 😔. I am glad to offer maternal cuddles, if thats what someone needs. Different days I know I have different needs from touch… 🤗
@cuddlefaery I am so sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how hard that must be.
My mother is still alive and well, but she severed that bond between us when I was a child and I no longer crave that touch from her, but I still crave that motherly touch. I suppose I crave the touch of the mother I wish I had had.
I don’t even have that with my grandmother, as she is very similar to my mother… abuse cycles and all.
I am working hard to break that cycle with my own children and hope that I get to cuddle them well into their adult years and cuddle any grandchildren, should they choose to have them. ❤️
@SlothHugs I completely understand the laughing/giggling more with women. I miss that sisterly vibe, as well. 🥰
In my city we have many cuddling options tonight I have the male couple coming back and my wife has a female couple for a first session.Yesterday we cuddled a trans couple which has lead to us getting quite a few calls from their friends today asking for a session
@scorpio2112 you are on the ball!!!!!!
I’m 💯 comfortable cuddling any gender just as I am any ethnicity any age any body type any sexual orientation… etc! Touch is so healing and so necessary
@Connecticut1977 @SlothHugs @CuddlelessinLB thank you 💖
@scorpio2112 it is so heartening to hear people are putting their words into actions in support of diversity. I hope to create as actively of a safe space in my area, such as you have in yours.
Thank you so much @cuddlefaery and @scorpio2112 !!! Diversity is what it's all about.
I'm open to cuddling anyone of any gender, age, orientation, or race as long as everyone respects boundaries 😊
Last night we hosted a cuddle party, we had three separate rooms one male ,one ladies and one couples, We made our main room as mixed as we wanted to try and get people to come from the other rooms into the main one.The first hour was very much same gender but as the evening progressed the main room was filling up still with same gender but there were three and four cuddling and we did see seven ,4 guys and 3 ladies all mixing.What was heartening a guy who at first struggled to join in as he felt awkward with same gender cuddles got fully involved as the evening progressed.My wife cuddled him then as people went into the main room got people in join them so at all times he was being cuddled, He got so in the zone he didn't even look to see who was cuddling him
Very good @LadyVel !!! How are you doing???
I recently met a trans lady (not on this site) who is in process of coming out full time and transitioning into the woman she has kept locked away for decades. I cuddled with both her assigned at birth male gender as well as her female self. It was just as nice and normal as any session I've had with a cis woman.
I will cuddle anyone who has good hygiene. If they have an impairment that prevents that, I am willing to help them with their hygiene in a respectful way.
I would cuddle any female that looks, acts and feels like a female no matter what her gender is
I will cuddle anyone of any gender 🙂
It is important to remember to not project our own feelings and intentions when it comes to this. While I certainly advocate for having an open mind and support cuddling all genders and sexes, and have done so in my personal life so I do practice what I preach , it's important to respect and honor boundaries and to not make it seem as though there is something inherently better or enlightening about who and how you choose to and feel comfortable with cuddling. If someone is having to convince somebody about why they should do something and put them in a position where they don't really feel comfortable, then it's not for them and that should be respected. I say this as somebody who has cuddled with all genders and sexes, that it's not really something to expect a trophy for .We are what we are and is what we is. It's all just about preference and comfort level. The hooray for me because of what I'm comfortable doing and hyper enthusiasm for sharing about it thing comes across as a little odd to me, as well as kind of insincere
@pmvines you do make some valid points. All boundaries should be respected. I certainly live by that. I want people to feel comfortable with me.
Let's celebrate ACCEPTANCE, DIVERSITY and INCLUSION every day
Personally I have better connections with men . I don't get on with girls, but I am open to cuddling with a female. We don't have to talk a lot to cuddle necessarily.
@Quiet_Cuddlez totally understandable
@Alec483 I used to live in the Detroit area!!!! I do visit from time to time.
I would be open to cuddle both. Everyone deserves to fill up their cuddle meter to full!
@btrflyy very very well said!!!! I feel exactly the same way
I very much enjoy cuddling with humans whether they are women, men, non-binary, trans, etc. One of my first cuddling experiences on this site was with a person who identifies as non-binary, and I have to say cuddling with them was a wonderful experience and I think they are a very nice person in general too.
I have never cuddled (as far as I know) with a transman or transwoman before, though I'm certainly open to doing so.
So, yes to all kind humans. 😇
Do whatever you want or dont want. Its YOUR choice.
While this may not be a popular position- The truth is most heterosexual men have zero desire to cuddle other men.
The KEY word there is cuddle.
There was a former post about male to male affectionate touch [hugging between friends-long embraces-etc.]- That particular post was more directed about men not showing physical affection toward other men -when in some cases they wanted to. I thought it was a great post but some did seem to link cuddling in with it. This Post is more specific and can hopefully help flush out real answers instead of those simply deemed acceptable.
I grew up in Brooklyn and men hugged and affectionately grabbed each other all the time. Some men are uncomfortable hugging people they just meet-but it is not unusual for me to Bro_hug someone I have only met once-if we get along with each other.
This in no way [in my opinion] would ever translate into wanting to cuddle_ another man.
@JohnR1972 did some numbers on this and most men who would want to cuddle other men -identified as gay.
This should be no surprise and should not be seen as controversial or judgemental statement-Just simple fact.
I agree with @pmvines that no one should be expected to do anything that makes them uncomfortable.
Just as I would never judge a man who chooses to cuddle another man- I also would not want any one to judge me because I choose not to.
@BrianOcean wrote, "I agree with @pmvines that no one should be expected to do anything that makes them uncomfortable."
I agree with this 100%.
And this. I don't judge people on who they want or don't want to cuddle, and I don't want to be judged negatively on the fact that I'll cuddle any adult who is safe, clean, and respects boundaries, etc.
And this kind of came up for me recently, where I wanted to cuddle with someone (no money involved) but they said no. I was disappointed but I didn't judge them, take it hard, inquire as to why because they have the right to their preferences and to say yes or no without being pressured. I just said, "OK, thank you," and moved on. 🙂
I appreciate all of your input @HarleyGirlKate!!!!!
I had someone ask me about this subject recently. I cuddle with anyone I feel a comfortable connection with; some of my clients are cis gendered, some trans, some non-binary, some identity as male, some identify as female. I’m pretty comfortable curling up with anyone that does not put me on edge or give me a reason to feel as if I have to protect my space or energy.
In high school, I used to rub my friends’ shoulders and hold hands with them when they were stressed or upset. I would lay my head on my female friends’ shoulders or hold them in a tight embrace. I used to kiss a couple friends’ foreheads. It was always platonic. When we feel comfortable, it opens the door for a level platonic physical intimacy that is not expressed much in American culture. 🙃 I hope this helps someone find clarity or comfort.
