I prefer a quick hug or a kiss on the cheek for a job well done after sex. Theres no need to lay on my chest all night and inhibit my breathing, or send my arm to sleep.

I like to cuddle with my wife, but I usually fall asleep pretty quick (if we are not in the mood for other things).

I like to cuddle, whether or not it's after sex. However, I get overheated easily, so that limits things. And, if I'm going to be awake a while, I'll want a book or something on TV. We do cuddle and watch TV together often, though.

I like cuddling as well, as long as her hair is not in my face, she's not breathing into my nose and it's a temperate environment. Cuddling is not so great if it's hot.

You gals can usually identify these guys very early by observing how he interacts with people and if he's touching his friends.


Bolded: I don't agree.
I don't do much contact with friends at all. I have boundaries with friends. As do most of my friends do. I'm not sure what kind of contact you are referring to. When I greet certain friends we may do a handshake/hug combo, and then theres people I only handshake type greet. And if your a woman that I don't know too well, I won't hug you. I'm not a fan of the hug if I'm not friends with you. But I will do it if someone engages it.

Now cuddling? If I am interested in a woman, I really like to cuddle. I had a LTR in which we spent many many nights literally cuddling all night. Loved it.
Since then, I learned that few women enjoy this. Some people just need their space. Even after sex.
I dated someone a while back that really liked to cuddle. I was excited, as I had discovered 'another one of those'.

Over the years, I need more space than I used to, mainly it is more of a physical necessity, as opposed to needing separation for my mental state.
I honestly don't know if I could be in a LTR with a woman that didn't cuddle. If everything else was really good, than probably, but for me there is a correlation between how well a relationship is going and how much cuddling. More cuddling equals better relationship IMO. Of course, some people like to cuddle, so lots of cuddling doesn't always equal good relationship.

I like to cuddle, before or after. But also on the couch watching TV.

My ex was a cuddler, as soon as we got in the house he would pull me up onto his knee and burry his head under my chin or if we were in bed he would cuddle in and pull me onto his chest. I love to cuddle if I'm comfortable with the person but I like my own space in bed as I hate being too warm

We would do the deed, and then for the rest of the entire night he would just cuddle with me which I always found so odd for a guy to do, especially cause I'm not really into cuddling myself...I mean it's ok for a little while, but the entire night? c'mon!!

Anyway just wondering how many of you guys just like cuddling for the sake of cuddling? Or do you have to be really into the girl?
I'm a guy and I *love* cuddling! I've never been intimate with a girl yet of course, but even totally PG-rated cuddling can be a very beautiful expression of love and affection But yes, cuddling is very important to me as a guy -- in fact, the only loving expression that is better than cuddling would be a real, genuinely-spoken and affectionate "ILY". Between having that and cuddling, I will be one very happy guy

I love cuddling especially with the man I love.
I love giving massages to my parents, my brothers, my sister. I love hugging my nephews. I just am a very physical person.

Cuddling sometimes is even better than mind blowing sex. It is so intimate.

Thats the great thing about it: You can have both every time.

I'm kind of surprised. From the responses here, you would almost think that some people view cuddling as a fetish.

From what I understand everybody desires some kind of close human contact unless you are a Sociopath or have Abandonment issues. The quantity/duration and who provides the contact is what varies person to person.
