There are some things that you just can’t get enough of. Like grilled cheese. Or watermelon.
I can’t get enough cuddling.
Unfortunately, I have no cuddle-source in my immediate proximity
(as apparently, I’m only capable of being interested in boys that live vast distances away), so I’m forced to hug my guy friends for inappropriately long periods of time, or squeeze my giant stuffed panda while drifting off to sleep.
A couple of days ago, I needed a cuddle fix so badly that I Googled “cuddling.”
I have no idea what I expected to find.
Perhaps I assumed, in my cuddle-less delirium, that some fuzzy arm would pop out of the screen (as per the A-ha “Take On Me” video) and pull me into a world of hug-friendly aliens. Since that didn’t happen (even a little bit), I was reduced to perusing articles about “the science of cuddling.”
That’s like having a science of marshmallows. Marshmallowology. Interestingly, I discovered something that explains my occasional debilitating desire for a warm body:
cuddling is addictive. Apparently, like sex or kissing,
cuddling causes your brain to release a flood of endorphins. When you abruptly stop cuddling all the time (as I did when I left my man-friend), your brain starts to feel rather incomplete. Apparently, my need to cuddle is just my brain crying out in endorphin-free anguish.
So, I, Sally, am a cuddle addict. I wonder if there’s some sort of rehab I could go to…
So darling readers, do you believe the claim that cuddling, like chocolate (clearly I'm hungry...) is addictive?

yes esp if hes huggable.Does that make sense?I dont know..Ive only known one person who was very huggable thus making this cuddling feeling so good.Just his body wrapped around me and all.
God yes. I swear this answers all my questions as to why I love cuddling. Lets start a Cuddahollics Anonymous. x
I'm not a big fan of cuddling, unless I'm cuddling my kitties. I get too hot.
And yeah, it depends on the boy too. Really skinny boys are hard to cuddle.
haha my life makes since now :) im obsessed with cuddling... im also obsessed with hugs. its weird cause a really good hug can like make me feel high for a good 10 mins. apparently my eyes get kinda red and everything. all my guy friends think im weird cause I hug everyone and I am so in for this whole Cuddaholics Anonymous :P
YES! It's so addicting!
I have to really like the guy to cuddle.
If he's just a hookupbuddy, then NO cuddling!
My ex's hugs weren't exactly "filling" and he was quite skinny but I enjoyed the cuddles. I love the feel of someone else's warm body next to mine as we watch a movie or something ahhaa
I love hugs. I wish I had someone who's available for me to hug whenever I need to hug. Cuddling will probably eventually become one of my favorite things to do.
i never use to be a hugger or cuddler till i met my bf. now i always try to get him to cuddle with me for half an hr before i leave his house + i always ask for a hug before i actually leave. he doesn't care for it much...but yes, hugs and cuddles are great!
addict over here. along with MANY other things....
I have an addictive personality. I over due everything that is good in my life.......
I agree. My boyfriend often (and unknowingly) blows off things we planned the night before, and when I get angry, I isolate myself. It's a bad habit...anyway, this only causes more upset as I'm addicted to cuddles as well. I'll get more and more grumpy as the hours pass, and turn down his pleas to hang out...only to get more and more jittery and distraught.
It's kind of a bad thing. How am I supposed to teach him a lesson if I want to cuddle so badly? Pillows and stuffed foxes just don't do any more :'[
this explains oh-so much...
I always feel so shut down when i give my SO a really good hug and then he just stops like its no big deal. That's like having sex and when you just get warmed up one person says, i'll right lets stop for now and pick it up again later! wtf?
Boys, give your girlfriends hugs and cuddles until they are completely tired of it. Let them say when. Bah now i need to snuggle with my teddy
Sounds legit. I love hugs tooooooooo.
cuddling is SO addicting. it's one of the things i have to get used to being without once me and some guy break up. and usually when i think of the good times with guys, it involves the times we've cuddled.
I cuddle all the time with my bf <3 It's wonderful..
I love cuddling, I do feel like I release a lot of stress from myself when my bf and I do get to cuddle.. but this is why I always have stuffed animals on my bed for the nights I sleep alone:)
YES.
i used to date guys just so i could have someone to cuddle with
i love cuddling! :D
I love this! Cuddling is the absolute best - luckily my boyfriend is a major cuddler so I don't look ridiculous for wanting to cuddle him all the time, hahah.
i LOVE cuddling! unfortunately, my boyfriend and i are a little on the scrawny side, with makes it uncomfortable at times, but i still love it!

I agree--cuddling really is addictive. There's just something super nice about cuddling with someone, especially before I drift off to sleep :) Since I, too, lost a cuddle-buddy, I've been wrapping myself in lots of blankets and sleeping with my stuffed animals. Strangely, it works pretty well!
I put cuddling right up there with sex: it's something special that two people in a relationship share with each other and if one person wants to cuddle with someone outside the relationship as well, that cheapens the act with their partner. My boyfriend wants to cuddle with other people and he's asked my permission numerous times but why would i allow that?!
