I’m sure you’ve all seen the “Cuddle Buddy Application.”  Now, I know it was made in fun, etc, but because I’ve noticed that there’s really not a lot of in-depth talk about what cuddling actually is, I’d like to go into my two problems with this application :B First Problem: The only terms used on the application are “Hand-holding,” “Warmth,” “Closeness,” and “Comfort.”  While these terms are fine on their own, there’s much more to cuddling than just those four items.  Things like: Privacy (and/or PDA) Standing or Sitting Petting Touching Things you Like (ex: tuck my hair behind my ear) Things you Don’t Like (ex: don’t touch my neck) Talking (ex: how comfortable you are talking while cuddling) Just to name a few.  Second Problem: The “Cuddle Position (preferred)” section is tiny!  The allotted space on the application is very tiny, which is in itself problematic, but additionally the terms we have for cuddle “positions” are also very limited and quite honestly, not satisfactory. Of course, sometimes cuddle “positions” just come down to whatever position people find themselves in based on their environment etc.  What are your thoughts on the Cuddle Buddy Application?

I’m sure you’ve all seen the “Cuddle Buddy Application.”  Now, I know it was made in fun, etc, but because I’ve noticed that there’s really not a lot of in-depth talk about what cuddling actually is, I’d like to go into my two problems with this application :B

  • First Problem: The only terms used on the application are “Hand-holding,” “Warmth,” “Closeness,” and “Comfort.” 

While these terms are fine on their own, there’s much more to cuddling than just those four items.  Things like:

  • Privacy (and/or PDA)
  • Standing or Sitting
  • Petting
  • Touching
  • Things you Like (ex: tuck my hair behind my ear)
  • Things you Don’t Like (ex: don’t touch my neck)
  • Talking (ex: how comfortable you are talking while cuddling)

Just to name a few. 

  • Second Problem: The “Cuddle Position (preferred)” section is tiny! 

The allotted space on the application is very tiny, which is in itself problematic, but additionally the terms we have for cuddle “positions” are also very limited and quite honestly, not satisfactory. Of course, sometimes cuddle “positions” just come down to whatever position people find themselves in based on their environment etc.

  14. pbfluffernutter answered: I am impressed that you actually took time to think about it, and also I find something that should not have to be filled out.
