List a few things you like to do while cuddling!
Listen to music &/or my partner talk, laugh, massage each other, & relax.
Ask nosy questions!
Pretend that the world doesn't exist. Well, at least the difficult parts of life. 😌
During cuddling I like to listen to the sounds of the natural world around us, and have a mix of conversations that help us understand and appreciate each other. I also enjoy quiet time.
It’s nice to add in a physical activity like a hike, bike ride or paddle boarding if we have enough time and the weather is good.
Quite time, sleep 😴 💤 nap
My favorite thing to do during a cuddle is to close my eyes and let my mind go blank while I melt into the moment with the other person. Most often though, the time is spent asking or answering questions, which is part of becoming familiar and more comfortable with each other. Some non-distractive music in the background is peaceful. A show or movie on the telie is a great way to spark conversation...
But, yes, the part where I'm being held tightly by another person and can just allow myself to disappear in the moment... those are the best moments.

I like when people play with my hair, or vice versa. Neck, shoulder rubs while hugging... I do that to everyone. I like half spoon and lil spoon probably best, and just breathe together. Maybe something silly happens and laugh together. That's my favorite. @MJ73 I've been wondering if I should ask folks up front if they want a quiet session or if they like to chat. I try to follow their lead because of exactly what you just said
Worship the devil
@pmvines That explains the mumbled chanting noises and candles then.
Cult cloaks make for good cuddle gear
Cuddle.
In all seriousness...I'd just drift off and focus on the cuddle more than anything.
I always enjoy watching tv to0gether, Talking to each other, playing with each others hair and ginving each other plenty of nice and tight hugs !!!!!!!!!!! I prefer spooning and lying next to each oher directly facing each other.
Howl at the moon! 🌝
Howling isn't required of my cuddle buddies , I let them make their own choices. 😁
What @penguin34 said!!
@EnnDub haha I have to try not to but I’m a curious person. @ladybug7 I love breathing together, so calming and connecting.
I like to cuddle while cuddling 🥸
@ladybug7 I think following someone's lead is a safe practice, and a very common one. There's nothing wrong with that approach IMO. I think sometimes nerves take hold to some degree, and for me I ramble on when I'm at all nervous, which is why I try to get to know my cuddle mates a bit ahead of a session when possible. It helps to calm the nerves and allow for deeper relaxation during the cuddle.
Make them laugh so I can feel them shake.
Music, just close eyes and get to "near sleep" or talk usually.
While cuddling, I love to relax, talk softly, and just enjoy the warmth and comfort of being close. 🤗
Ideally, I'd LOVE to have my Cuddler welcome me in, take my coat, escort me to our cuddle spot, help me get comfortable, and the quietly, firmly, and with EXTREME PREJUDICE SQUEEZE ME TO PIECES.. Ahem... I mean, cuddle me and allow the quiet squeezes to clearly define my physicality. Yep, I said it!! lol
My Cuddle Mentor played forest sounds on a machine, while we cuddled. I thought that was a nice touch. I think I'd also enjoy one of the youtube videos of quiet thunderstorms, playing in the background, while a full-on cuddle session was going on!!! Wooooo!!!
More than anything, though, I'd love to have 3 to 4 hours of Intensive, silent, intentional, intuitive contact. <<It felt good just to type that!
I enjoy a variety of cuddling approaches, so I tend to go with whatever the other person likes to do. I've had cuddle sessions where it was very quiet and we took turns being the big spoon and quietly played with the other's hair, etc. And I've had sessions where we couldn't stop laughing and rolled around hugging each other, making each other laugh even more. I think the variety of possibilities is one of the things I love about cuddling - it's usually at least a little different each time!
I like to guess how much the national debt has increased during the course of the cuddle and then convert it to other currencies. It feels worse when you change it to yen and less bad when it's in shekels. I also wonder what happened to those 18 minutes of Tricky Dick's recordings. And whales. I wonder about whales.
@MJ73 I still get nervous meeting people for the first time too, I can also ramble on a bit as well. I have been trying to channel nerves into curiosity lately because I saw some podcast on it and it's really helped make it more exciting than something im apprehensive about. I highly recommend people get to know their cuddle mates ahead of time. I have several really good safety measures in place that makes me feel like I can just skip that part and set something up immediately. I've noticed I was quiet a few peoples first and that's fine with me. I give great karma. 😆🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
I like to hug, give massages, caress skin, enjoy 420, and talk, I also like being caressed, massaged, I love to be tickled, and I enjoy head stratches too.
While each session is way different I like to find the part where we come together and find our rhythm. If it’s breathing together, laughing , talking, the best part is exploring that person’s presence . I do love when I can rub or scratch the back of someone’s head. I think it relaxes them.
I like to welcome them to my space by showing them around my house a little bit and give them a chance to change if need to in my bathroom. I also always have a pair of extra sweats that they wear use if they didnt bring something from home. I usually offer a bottle of water before we go to our cuddle spot. I always have clean sheets and comfortable bedding. I pay extra attention to my home and keep it beautifully decorated and extremely clean so it feels like an oasis from the stressors of the outside world. I typically have projected images on the walls and calming music playing. If they seem nervous I like to start with a massage to ease their nerves to make them feel more comfortable while we talk and get to know each other. If we have cuddled before I give them an option to go swimming in my pool or do some other kind of activity (we usually discuss this before the session). Sometimes if it’s a longer cuddle we can order or make food. I mostly just like to create a safe space for them to feel what they want to/need to feel in a comfortable environment. They can rant about their job or we can share our personal philosophies about the universe. I try to mend whatever they are feeling is lacking in their connection with other people. I hope my cuddlers would agree that this is what I offer and leave feeling like it was worth every penny!!
