Cuddling feels like the most comforting thing ever. You feel safe, relaxed, warm and loved. When me and my partner are cuddling, sometimes I want to crawl inside of him just to be as close as humanly possible. I also love our little chats where we talk about from the silliest things to stuff we have never told another person before. I crave holding him and the warmth of having him near me.
Cuddling is the oxytocin-rich act when you feel so loved and at home when the person you love is in your arms. You would feel at peace so much that your worries and anxieties vanish while listening to their heart beat fast and synchronize your breath rate with them and fall asleep in that embrace as if you are sinking in your bed.
You would look straight into their eyes as you check on them and lightly caress their skin knowing that both of you feel comfortable, safe and protected. They would do the same with you. Then there's the sweet words being whispered to your ear as a form of assurance. You would also comb their hair with your fingers like waves of relaxation going through the head and actually tuck some strands behind the ear.
You would kiss them where they hurt or in need of the love the most. Your legs get intertwined with theirs.
The emotional connection and compatibility are definitely present. This is just a sample of what cuddling is and it is definitely wholesome. I dream of experiencing such cuddling.
I love cuddling, every chance i get to with him. We are both very big on physical touch so he will always have his hand on my thigh, or ask to rub my feet. I offer to give him back rubs or back scratches often.
I guess cuddling with him just feels...like more than just a cushy body, but feels like we are one. I know it sounds corny i feel completely intertwined with him, emotionally and physically.
Thank you for asking this question because I’ve enjoyed reading the answers so much! To me cuddling with my love is the best thing ever. It relaxes me and I feel my stress go away. It feels safe and warm and like home. Sometimes it makes me drowsy and I just don’t want to move. I wish I could stop time so I could stay in his arms forever.
Cuddling is the best when you really like that person. I never thought I’d be into it but truly time stops and you sleep so much better. Like I’ve cuddled with people I don’t really like and it’s nothing on the feeling of someone you love
My wife wraps me around her and calls me her shield. She says she feels safe and protected from the world and I enjoy the feeling of her warmth against my body. I'm a pretty big guy and she's kind of small so she sort of disappears into my body when we cuddle.

I hate when most people touch me, I’m very sensitive about energies. Even people I love can have an off vibe and my shield goes up.
The only person who seems to be welcome in my bubble 🫧 is my man. He has never set off any of my alarms, he feels like he belongs, I feel supported and loved when he touches me and he does it so often that I don’t feel touch starved the rest of the week while I’m away at work.
I remember one of our first naps together was really interesting… I don’t usually nap but we were sleepy, we finally didn’t have any real plans besides rest. We grabbed our best pillows, found the coziest spot, supported ourselves with blankets around the edges and we cuddled so close his face was deeply smushing mine. We actually fell all the way asleep and woke up like that a few times, adjusting and falling back asleep. It just felt sooo good to smash ourselves together tightly and slumber.
It’s pretty amazing when someone loves you as much as you love them. I didn’t find love until 22 but I have had a great ride for decades. Hope you get to experience it soon.
All that plus any verbal jousting that goes along with it.
Cuddling with my girl is the funnest and yet most soothing shit ever. Little slice of heaven on the couch.

This ^ but from the female perspective! We love like this too. I adore every second we spend together and it feels like you are in a love bubble that can’t be broken by anything or anyone. Lost in time, with no need to be found.
I get really sleepy. As soon as we start cuddling I feel so calm and relaxed. One time we cuddled before going out to eat with friends and I had to stop myself from saying, "I'm sorry I'm so tired all of a sudden, can we please stay in?"
I think he feels the same way. He falls asleep so quickly when we're cuddling-- even faster than me. Genuinely he's out within 3 minutes, it's remarkable.
Emotionally, it feels amazing. Safe, secure, like I'm right where I'm supposed to be.
This! There’s just something so comforting and safe about it. You feel like you can’t be close enough and could just lie there forever. There’s nothing like it.
its like bliss, its like you cant get close enough to the other person, you want every part of your body touching them, you want to smell them, you need to kiss every bit of them, its such a crazy feeling, like nothing else in the world matters in them moments
It is like fitting into a mushy cloud of comfort. It is awesome because it can be comforting or it can lead to deep conversations while hugging each other. It gives the moment an added plus, more intimacy. It gives you security that you are loved or protected. It usually calms one's anxiety.
You know when you are stressed and then you took a really deep breath and breathe out slowly and everything just feels better and calmer and like everything will be OK? Like that.

Some people are more touchy than others.
I am sure cuddling isn’t a compulsory part to show love.
I can only cuddle for 5 minutes then it gets a bit weird or too hot 😆
I wanna cry after reading all this lol. Never was into cuddling, nor being held after sex. This made me realize how deep my intimacy issues are. I learned a lot from this post!

You're very welcome, I've also enjoyed reading the comments.
As mentioned in the past, I won't be removing it. I'll read them when feeling down.

We lay cuddled up and just talk and laugh with each other. It’s amazing. A great chance to reconnect after hard days

Tickling
Caressing
Ass grabbing
Boob jiggling
Ball grabbing
Kissing
Sleeping
Massaging
Laughing
All that plus any verbal jousting that goes along with it.

I wish i had a man to cuddle with but hopefully soon

Not this post making me realize I’m aromantic
It's peaceful. It's the feeling where u finally safe 🥺
There are healing cuddles, loving cuddles, home cuddles, and special cuddles.
Home cuddles are the best, because they feel like all the other cuddling types all at once.
It feels like being home.
It is so comforting and I can feel my oxytocin (happy hormone) levels increasing and my cortisol (stress hormone) levels decreasing.
This! There’s just something so comforting and safe about it. You feel like you can’t be close enough and could just lie there forever. There’s nothing like it.
Comfortable, stress reliving. Filled with trust.
its so calming and I feel so safe. It's like a warm hug.. it feels like you are cared for and accepted and loved... feels like I can just be myself
Takes all my stress away. My happy place is in my mans arm, I feel like nothing could ever hurt me there
its like bliss, its like you cant get close enough to the other person, you want every part of your body touching them, you want to smell them, you need to kiss every bit of them, its such a crazy feeling, like nothing else in the world matters in them moments
