Count me as a sociopath then. In my will, I've designated a certain human extinction organization to benefit financially from me in the event of my death.

Are you really a Sociopath?! I'm sure there are any number of other reasons to not desire human contact but only you would know.

Of course, some people like to cuddle, so lots of cuddling doesn't always equal good relationship.
That's how I see it. I knew that something was up when morning rolled around and he'd jump out of bed and start his day. When the cuddling stopped the relationship was on a slippery slope. (Well, okay even before that, but he made it obvious.)

The only cuddling I got was from my mother and grandmother. Nowadays I hate it, I sweat really easily and besides it's ridiculous and childish.

You gals can usually identify these guys very early by observing how he interacts with people and if he's touching his friends.
I went out on a few dates last summer with a man who was totally into cuddling and that's all he wanted to do for the most part and he was a pan-cuddler (made that word up) which means he loved to cuddle with anyone and everyone. I decided not to continue dating him but before I stopped, he asked to spend the night one night. I wasn't ready for the dirty deed with him so I told him that only if he wouldn't pressure me for sex, which he promised not to do. Oh Lord what a night--he wrapped himself around me like a pretzel and never let go. He'd start to snore so I'd try to work myself out of the embrace but he would just hold on tighter. Finally I got up "to go to the bathroom" but really ended up on the couch and I swear, he came and got me! That was one long night and I don't think I could be with someone like that. I do love to cuddle but not to that extent.

Cuddling sometimes is even better than mind blowing sex. It is so intimate.
Exactly this. There is no "trying" to be good, there is no "hoping" that you'll satisfy the other person, there is no pressure to do or be or have or want. There is just snuggling. I used to just hold him and soak it all in. I called it "savoring" him.

"If I just lay here, would you lie with me and just forget the world?"

I've never been with a man that liked to cuddle, therefore I guess I don't really like it or maybe I just don't know what I'm missing.

If I want contact I have to initiate it otherwise there is none.

This sounds very close to what I experienced, it didnt even make me feel special, I remember thinking he would probably cuddle any woman that way.

I'm sorry. I'm not laughing at you, but that is just too darned funny. Maybe he lost his teddy bear.
