This is a serious question I'm asking, mostly to prove a point.
When I normally think of cuddling, I don't actually think of something significantly "intimate" by any means. My friends (both male and female) and I would touch each other all the time, even with simple things like one person watching TV and the other person with their head on their lap on their phone. Or maybe reversed with that person having their legs across the other person's lap instead. My guy friends would be squished together on the couch and no one would bat an eye, even if they jokingly sat on each other's lap. Even now, as I'm trying to find people, I really just think of two people laying down and holding each other, or something similarly benign.
Yet we seem to have this issue of people trying to push boundaries and make things sexual. Yes I know there are some women doing this too, but that seems to prove my point. Things like caressing, groping, kissing, all of that, why does our culture innately tie "touching" to this? That's why we're all on this site, isn't it?
That being said, would you guys, the ones who insist on only cuddling women, ever be willing to hang out with another guy and just touch each other? Even if it's hanging out next to each other on the couch, or maybe mutually hugging each other if you're depressed and feeling down.
If the answer is a resounding "no", then I think we have a problem that's contributing to our cultural loneliness.
