True that everybody on here is interested in cuddling to one extent or another. Doesn't mean that everyone is going to cuddle just anyone though. Doesn't have to be non sexual to want to share space with someone who appeals to you. I am attracted to more than just aesthetics, so for me if is important to have a brain, sense of humor, be interesting, able to share certain commonalities etc. If you are super good looking that is the cherry on top, however if you are super good looking but dull as a doormat or not friendly etc, then you don't appeal to me and I am not going to want to share space with you.
@mduncan50, it's not as bleak as @ignis put it in the other thread that @angela10 quoted here. That was a bit of hyperbole. I have managed to meet and cuddle with six enthusiast cuddlers so far. I would rate myself an average guy, neither handsome nor homely. I'm reasonably intelligent, energetic, and engaging, and I've been told I have good cuddle skillz. ;-) Factors like that have far more to do with your prospects for success than whether you look like a cover model for Men's Health magazine. You will occasionally encounter women who only want to cuddle guys they would actually want to date, but I don't believe they are in the majority.
OP, I voted "no." I cuddle once per week on average. I've met 36 pros from four different websites over the course of 3-4 years. Of those pros, there are ten that I have seen more than three times apiece, and one that I have seen over thirty times. It's not an addiction; it's a hobby. I feel a sort of friendship with my regulars, but I haven't developed "feelings" for any of them. So I say as long as you and your cuddlers (pro or enthusiast) are having fun, don't worry about it. :-)
No, I'm not saying just with anyone, but looks wouldn't be my #1 concern.
I'm very cautious about getting into cuddling. Endless weighing of potential good and bad outcomes but craving something I'm missing. So, I'm a "Maybe".
@galowglass Well I would imagine that's why you want to try to get to know them first. I wouldn't be contacting someone and inviting them over first thing.
@mduncan50 Yes. Never dive head-first into the lake, when you don't know how deep the waters are. (literally and figuratively) grin
I had someone compare cuddling with reiki sessions... they're so addicting, he said. I myself also do some work around personal energies and cleansing which folks seem to never get enough of and i guess at it's core, it is very much like medicine. it could take away from what you have to take on daily. BUT no harm in getting your cuddle on!
@stellarosass , Interesting you say that because I am a 2nd degree reiki master. In fact, I have had couple of cuddlers say that they feel very positive after cuddling with me. Couple of my regulars request that I spoon them and mostly they end up sleeping in my arms in no time. I am still not sure is that the flow of healing reiki energy that makes them falls asleep so fast or it’s just spooning itself is so relaxing .. Honestly, I learnt reiki out of curiosity and I have not truly made any attempt on using it as such.
@pmvines, @galowglass, @quietman775 , @supersnugz , @mduncan50 , @angela10 - thanks for the insights and healthy conversations - more I read what everyone has to say and what polls are sayin, I feel there is no reason to suppress the Cuddle desire as long as it’s healthy and fits the budget!
I have found age also does not matter as long as you connect well. I recently had a session with @Babykaykez and I have to confess she almost took me into my college time. Her presence and her cuddle approach somehow helped me experience the younger inside me! While on the other side cuddling with @Sweetmama , I felt like a baby held, pampered, and cared just like the attached image!
I think key is we should connect well, share a good vibe, be mutually respectful, flow with communication verbal n non-verbal, and top of all this be open to try in a NON-JUDGEMENTAL fashion!
At the end of the day my friend, I am just happy that it is helping you.
@choicesvital I am glad you got to experience the benefits of cuddling with a couple of people and enjoyed their different expertise/personality. Isn't it great to feel cared for when you are connected with your cuddler?
@angela10 , yes very true! Its a blessing in a way. It is helping me in probably my toughest emotional period..
