Concerning cuddle parties...

You know how women will happily cuddle with a guy they would never have sex with?
Well I'm guessing the guys who show up at the cuddle parties are the types most women won't touch with a 10 foot pole, much less get cuddly with.

Nobody makes a big deal out of something they don't have a problem getting.

It's true, I saw a news segment about it (cuddle parties) once and they all looked like the picture of that guy with the Tron costume that was circulating awhile back.

And what about your wife? Would you be okay with her spooning and cuddling with another man?

She is not that type of person so it would cause me to wonder. It really is context dependent.

If its something I dont desire from her then I would be fine with it or something that she satisfies my desire completely. It is also dependent on how secure I am with her love towards me. There are way to many variables.

It was funny once when I was yonger was hitchhiking/backpacking with a friend. We didn't get back home on time had to crash in the woods. He didn't have a sleeping bag and I did. I was kinda homophobic at the time, so was of the attitude "tough shit dude".
It was really cold outside so came up with the compromise of sharing the sleeping bag but with feet to face instead of face to face. If we didn't come up with that compromise I think I would have let him sit out in the cold and get hypothermia.

Dont know why I am posting this now, just the last posts made me think about it...

Yeah, that's just a silly and juvenile thing to worry about.

Everybody knows that its only gay if your balls touch.

This seems part of the problem here lol I didn't ask if you do cuddle and I'm asking if you would cuddle. The very topic title hints at a possibility, that isn't really a reality for most.

I wouldn't do it. Touch just means too much to me. If I'm cuddling, she means something to me...something close.

I dont know. When you posted that it crossed my mind about my son as he gets older. It seems strange in my mind, but I couldnt tell you an age nor if it actually would feel strange.

I wouldn't do it. Touch just means too much to me. If I'm cuddling, she means something to me...something close.

Touch to me only feels weird because of how it will be percieved by the other person. I dont want wrong vibes coming across or intentions read into. If that is settled then I am fine. I am pretty much never the one to initiate touch, not even hugs.

So is it because of a desire for something more or its not just something that should be between friends? Whats wrong with a friend being close to you or meaning something to you?

I have a confession to make... despite all the :hug:'s I am not much of a cuddler irl.... I mean I will hug someone... I loving hugging people I hug everyone... But prolonged cuddling :shock: Nah that just makes me feel all claustraphobic.... and too warm... I don't know something about it annoys me ! :D

I think you're all assuming she's physically attractive to me.
Are you really sure she isn't attracted to you? I don't believe it.:headphne: Is she all, "Stellar Renegade...bleh!!!..:sick:." But whatevers.:alttongue: Anyway, doesn't emotional attraction become more important than physical attraction after knowing someone for a long time?

I think there's something to be said for this cuddle thread having more than 200 post in less than 2 days. :shock::thelook: Not sure what it is though.:yim_rolling_on_the_

^ Even if there is attraction, I don't really see a problem as long as it's clear what will happen. I've a male friend that made it clear he'd sleep with me if I was single, or willing, who came to me coz he was in fact just lonely emotionally, and needed a friend. There was no sexual tension in that cuddle session. It was him just needing some physical comforting, nothing more.

In fact, when he was not just feeling in need of cuddles but also of sex, he went to a mutual single female friend, who was in the same predicament, and they spent the night together. He never even approached me for that.

As for the amount of posts, I think cuddling ranks up there with flirting in controversy :D
