Every girl Ive cuddled Ive eventually kissed.

I'm pretty sure you can cuddle with your pet dog and your wife won't care.

Well, shit.

Thanks, guys.

To me yes.

>>16608339
Yes indeed.

Would you cuddle with just anyone?

>>16608377
Almost anyone, yes. People need body contact to function, don't they?

Depends on context. If you're cuddling alone in bed with another person, you're pretty much destroying the trust in your relationship. How could your partner ever FULLY believe that nothing happened except for cuddling?

Being in a committed, monogamous, adult relationship means that you actively avoid those grey-area situations. You don't spend much time socializing alone with members of the opposite sex, even if it really is just an innocent friendship. You certainly don't get physically close or intimate.

10 years of my life, 18 to 28 say differently

Tell that to my penis.

just talking can be cheating. depends on what is being said. the general rule of thumb is if you have to hide it, it's probably cheating.

Soon, my brother.

No its not. It's not a very nice thing to do but not cheating.

if I was dating a girl, and she cuddled with another man, I would consider that full on cheating.

>>16608381
No. You only start to shut down with prolonged social isolation and the failure of your other drives.

My ex thought that watching porn is cheating. But she thought that deleting a facebook message so she wouldn't see it, even if it didn't contain anything related cheating is cheating as well. So i would say it depends on your partner

"If you have to hide it" ....yeah.

My friend has given me a couple of hugs when I really, really needed them. There was nothing sexual there, and no intimacy.
But I'm not going to tell my wife because she would almost certainly get the wrong idea.

This.

If my gf was cuddling with immediate family? No problem.

Really good childhood GIRL friend, also no problem.

Any guy, big problem. She already knows my boundaries so I would be gone if she did that as its a double whammy, loss of respect for me and seeking affection from another man.

A hug isn't the same as cuddling and you know it you scumbag

>>16608339
Depends. I wouldnt consider it as such.

>>16609037
I wasn't suggesting that a hug was the same as cuddling.
I was saying that I would never tell my wife that I had a hug from that particular friend... because I'm hiding it, does that mean it counts as cheating too?

(and don't call me a scumbag. or at least, not until I end up cheating on my wife with my hug-giving friend)

>A hug isn't the same as cuddling and you know it you scumbag

OP coming back after hours to this thread and now I find out, hugs and cuddling are treated differently from each other?

What the fuck, world. Can someone clarify these unwritten rules for this clueless man, please?

>>16609060
Think of a hug as the basic formula
>Hug=physical contact + genital proximity
Cuddling is just an extension
>Cuddling=physical contact + genital proximity × time

Therefore; cuddling will always be of greater magnitude then hugging.

>>16609068
I see. Thanks.

This.

My best friend cuddles with me even though he has a girlfriend, it's clear she wants it to stop but she's not screaming or throwing things at me like I'd just fucked him.
