FWB isn't really my deal, so I don't get how it works. But it does seem like it would be confusing to have a no strings relationship and then start cuddling sometimes. So you tell me, those of you with FWB, do you cuddle after you hangout with your "friend?"
Never had a FWB, but everything I've read about getting over someone (kind of been reading that stuff lately) says cuddling is the worst if you are a woman and you shouldn't do it if you and your ex broke up. It releases oxytocin (the so called "bonding hormone") and can make you fall for your ex (and I would therefore think with your FWB too). So I would say it's a bad idea. But then again, I am basing this on reading and not actual practice.

I don't do FWB either. Someone gets attached majority of the time. But with cuddling, some see it as another form of physical intimacy, like sex. So, it's not a big deal. You care for them as a friend, the sex is nice, but also they physical closeness is nice as well, without it having to mean more.
Some guys are sensual, and they love physical stuff. Holding hands, kissing, cuddling. But it's not quite the same as for women, where it's more emotional, and with the guy, it's still a physically nice thing they enjoy.
A girl asked for advice about this. She and this guy like one another. One night, it was a crowded house, and she and the guy were sharing a bed, with another girl. He cuddled her, kissed her, etc, then rolled over and did the same with the other girl, then went back to her. So, he was cuddling both girls, so it wasn't a big deal to him. But said girl was pissed off because of it, and wondered if he had feelings or was just horny.

That's what I would think too. I mean there are some people where hugging is a bad idea and releases those bonding chemicals.
Yeah... I've heard of those people (looks into mirror, lol). I mean
Hehe. Me too. I'm thinking to myself (about my current crush) dude, no more hugging, I think I like your pheromones.
*he is an affectionate guy and sends mixed signals. #fail
