I have a friend who likes to snuggle but I am not into that touchy feely stuff. She like hugs and she like to snuggle. I don't think I can snuggle because to me the world tells me it is a bad thing. It is not like we like each other in a sexual way. Please help! I would like to read your feedback!

It may be easier for women to do this - I have seen it to some extent, but to my knowledge not all ladies are into this kind of closeness.

Guys - no way in hell.

Nowhere I know of. Where would this be acceptable among men? Just curious.

I think it's sweet when friends are physically affectionate. Friends are the family you choose, and I think it's sad that everything is spun down to how it appears from a sexual point-of-view.

Men...well, men have appearances to keep up, I guess.

Almost all of Asia. Guys go around arm in arm, it's the highest sign of camaraderie.

I have pictures of me and other boys taking bath in a popular waterfalls site from my younger days. Any westerner who sees it will call us all gay.

Coz people's minds here are so drenched in that homo/hetero physics, which is sad. It's unheard of in the East.

And the last time I went there, it's become a common joke that holding hands, arms, hand over the shoulders or showing other forms of explicit dude friendship is considered gay in the West

What exactly goes on in the "snuggling session"?

OK. I got ya. In Latin America men hug when they greet and even peck on the cheek (among families anyway). And a man will drape his arm around another man's shoulder if they're friends. But holding hands and/or snuggling is not done. And yes, the homo/hetero thing is strong in Latin America despite the fact the Latins are more touchy-feely than North Americans.
