While some people have complicated feelings about making out, one thing is for certain: cuddling is really enjoyable.
Cuddling can be associated to more sexual pleasure and emotional intimacy, which may not be the case for massages and/or kissing.
We all know or even long for that feeling of comfort that washes over us when we enter the embrace of a loved one.
Any kind of touch, including hugs and cuddling, releases the hormone oxytocin from your brain’s pituitary gland. This hormone is often referred to as the ‘love’ hormone, as it’s the primary hormone that peaks during orgasm and can actually increase bonding in couples.
Young adults are more prone to cuddling. This is because it can serve as a pleasurable alternative to direct sexual intercourse, whether because you’re still young and taking things slow.
Sex is really different for everyone. Everyone has his/her own interests, turn-ons, desires, and even fantasies.
As long as it’s consensual, safe, and pleasurable, do your thing.
