The Art of Cuddling

Notes From Dad

The Art of Cuddling

This time of year more than any other time, couples tend to spend more time cuddling and enjoying the warmth and closeness of their partner. This article will briefly look at exactly what cuddling is and some ways to perfect this art of personal gratification.

Cuddling, by definition, is a form of affection; some people often mistake sex for cuddling, although not out of the question, main purpose is to provide comfort and reassurance that the world will be a better place. Cuddling may involve kissing, holding one another close and supporting each other’s emotional needs. This form of affection, which may offer some physical contact, is common with most relationships.

There are some forms of cuddling that you and your partner choose for the purpose of tension reduction and the release of all that negative energy.

One way, very simple and safe, is just by holding hands; allowing your fingers and thumb to express your feelings, reduce anxiety and instill trust.

Many people enjoy cuddling face to face in a lying down position. This type of position usually is reserved for couples in a long term relationship. The touch of one’s face or a slight kiss to the cheek will certainly cement a bond in your relationship. Most couple who enjoy this position, do so, because they talk with their eyes and make both a physical and emotional connection.

One of my favorites is the wrap-around, where you just take your arms and just give your partner a hug from either the front or back side; by doing this, it may provide some much needed reassurance that can help insure that all will be fine.

Finally, I will leave you with this; cuddling is fun, romantic and science has found that it is also good for your well being. Cuddling releases oxytocin, which we all have, and allows two people to express their feelings in ways that provide happiness and sometimes love.

Good Luck !!
