I came to cuddling because my marriage had ended and I missed (and desperately needed!) normal human touch. My first experience was a lot of fun—it was like a rush of dopamine and oxytocin and warm fuzzy feelings, and the person I cuddled was awesome!—and I was hooked. My second experience was even better: after our first cuddle we started dating, and we’ve been together nearly 5 months now.
Has this ever happened to any of you? I came to this because I was looking for something strictly platonic—I was trying to heal from a very painful break up, and I wasn’t looking for anything more—and I am incredibly thankful the universe had a different plan.
