Hot or Not: Cuddling

After a hot session of man-on-man action, do you like to nuzzle up against your partner and cuddle for a while? This question comes to mind after this week’s Random Question, in which we asked each of you to rank your favorite sexual activities. One of you pointed out the glaring absence of “cuddling” on my list…

In the aftermath of yesterday’s hopeless romantic post, I’d like to clarify my love for cute shit. As a matter of fact, cuddling ranks right under making out as one of my top three sexual activities. In other words? I’m a motherfuckin’ snuggle slut. Hide your boyfriends, hide your husbands! Because I’m cuddling everybody out here.

Of course, I realize everyone doesn’t share my enthusiasm on this matter. Some folks radiate ridiculous amounts of heat, and they’re not exactly running to press themselves against another human body. Others think the act is a little too intimate or emotional. All in all, what’s your verdict? Is cuddling hot or not?

  1. Obviously there are exceptions (some people just aren’t cuddly or don’t like it,) but if you’re actually into each other, dating/married or not, the stuff before and after sex is at least as enjoyable as actually gettin’ to it.

  2. I think it’s hot- with a partner/husband/boyfriend. With a hookup, it’s a little too familiar and intimate to do with someone you don’t really know.

  3. I am a cuddler. Too intimate. My gosh what is the rest of the sexual experience. Unless of course you are being ganged and then cuddling is not usually an option. Although my buddy likes to watch me get pounded by a few guys and then he wants to cuddle with me and play inside me. So I guess cuddling can happen any time.

  4. Totally HOT. I’ve been with my partner for 10 wonderful years and we still cuddle, and it’s still one of my favorite things to do. I feel safe and loved in his arms all these years later – and cuddle pics are totally hot to me, too. Very erotic & sensual.

  5. Cuddling is one of the great joys in life. Hell, I’d take a good night of cuddling over a quick hookup any day of the week.

  6. THE DEFINATE PLAN “A” IS TO HAVE SOME
    HOT ACTION THEN CUDDLE,DOZE,SNUGGLE,
    SPOON, NAP&NUZZLE…..
    THEN REPEAT ALL DAY (OR NIGHT)
    BUT IT IS AMAZIN’ HOW MANY ARE NOT INTO IT – TO ME IT IS ALMOPST BETTER THAT SEX….
    HEY – I SAID ALMOST LOL

  7. Good cuddling combined with good kissing is better than any other sexual activity I can think of! If a guy cannot kiss and won’t cuddle, I have no interest in anything else with him…and a guy who knows how to spoon all night is a bonus…love slowly awakening each other in the morning with some cuddling/touching…can stay in bed for hours doing that…woof…

  8. Cuddling after (with the right guy) is just as intense as the foreplay before. And if you are comfortable enough to fall asleep that way……

    what a way to wake up

  9. Not only is it hot but it makes you appreciate the same sex…The Animus protectiveness that we feel someone wants to be holding someone next to you…I think Fergie said it best in her song “Big Girls Dont Cry” The smell of you on my skin lingers. ‘I miss you like a child misses its blanket” with Yummy Josh Duhamel…Savor that ……

  10. I could and do cuddle for hours, and spooning all night … gets me hard just thinking about it.

  11. Even with one night stand, I STILL want us to cuddle. The man was inside me for god’s sake. And apparently people who I’ve slept with like to snuggle, too.

  12. I think if the sex was worth it than why not cuddle. I love it and recently did it after 10 years. Many guys are afraid theat cuddling makes the sex too serious.

  13. It’s the first thing we experience when we leave our mothers womb….That feeling of being loved should never be lost…:-)

  14. Hey Dewitt,

    Thanks for the Shout-Out, that was me who pointed out you left cuddling on your list. I love cuddling, tho not as much as i love getting rimmed or fucked, but it is very nice to feel that type of intamacy after a dude has royally fucked you. I’ve found some guys are into and some aren’t depending on where and what they have to do after they’ve fucked you. Anyway, I love it always makes me feel connected in a non-sexual connected way, if that makes any sense. Anyway, how come we still don’t what you look like. Can you please post your pic so we know what each blogger looks like. Thanks

  15. I hate cuddling. I find that its ok for a little while but 98.6×2= too damn hot. I tend to start sweating I get tired of hearing the other persons heartbeat, snore, or breathing pattern. Just sayin’

  16. I like cuddling, but have to admit that I can’t do it for extended periods of time. The body heat of the other guy can get to me. What I find really sexy and/or romantic is being naked and facing the guy after sex and touching each other’s skin. That way I can start kissing him while I am talking to him. I guess too much information away.

  17. Yeah, I LOVE cuddling, but unless it’s like the dead of winter I get hot way too damn fast and after a few minutes it’s time to lift and seperate!

  18. Cuddling for me is usually a precursor to the sex act. xD I love it, the only problem is I end up waking up at 5 in the morning to try to untangle myself from them, aaand…then that’s when it happens. xD

  19. Yeah I’m kinda an obesseive cuddler. I love to do it my last boyfriend used to be a guy that would radiate sooo much heat. But being from Michigan I would lose my body heat quickly so we would cuddle up, him holding me his warm body making me warm and I just pass out 😀

    COME NOW, JOEY. CAN’T YOU HAZARD A GUESS AS TO WHAT DEWITT LOOKS LIKE? MY GUESS IS A BIG NELLY FAT ASS WITH AN OBVIOUS SEXUAL ADDICTION THAT HE WEARS ON HIS SHOULDER. YOU KNOW, ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO OR WHO YOU’RE WITH IS ALWAYS FIRST WITH THE SEXUAL DOUBLE-ENTENDRES, FIRST TO POINT OUT HOT GUYS IN PUBLIC HE CAN NEVER HAVE AND TELL EVERYONE WHAT HE’D DO TO THEM, AND FIRST TO ACT LIKE A BIG FAG AFTER DRINKING ONE BEER. YOU ALL KNOW THIS GUY. I’M SURE I’M NOT FAR FROM THE TRUTH HERE. I GUARANTEE DEWITT WILL NEVER POST HIS PICTURE. YOU JUST WATCH.

  21. I LOVE DOING IT! I just resontly spend a fabulous night cuddling up 2 a beautiful man who is big on just cuddling and I have 2 say I was so nice 2 do and NO SEX! I feel we sometimes forget that there is more 2 being a man than just the physical acts. I SAY BRING IT ON MORE and guys DO IT MORE! U will B glad U did! 🙂 🙂 😉 😉 XXXX.

  22. I always say to guys whenever we hook up that I don’t even care if we get below the belt – as long as we kiss and cuddle in some form 🙂

  23. As with long makeouts, I’m totally into cuddling, before and/or after fucking. (I include hugging while standing naked in my definition of cuddling.) Getting romantically coupled with a guy, even if it’s just gonna be a one-time thing, feels great and makes the sex waaay better.

    Then again, I don’t wanna overdo the cuddling if it’s just a hookup, cuz I might send wrong signals, like I’m on-the-rebound or something! haha

    So you can see I’m not the wham-bam type; if I just wanna get off quickly, I just do it myself. And I’m pretty darn good at it. 😉

  24. Havashame: That was a totally douchebag statement to make! What you just did in that post trumps anything you just accused Dewitt of doing! Jerk!

    I rank cuddling right up there with kissing. Very intimate acts. I do find it funny that guys will have sex with another guy but won’t cuddle because it’s too intimate. Since when is sex not an intimate act?

    Anyway, yes to the cuddling!

  25. I LOVE TO CUDDLE. Probably my favorite thing. And I actually prefer to do it first…it’s a great lead into more. Especially the morning after. 🙂

  26. note to all you wonderful crazy snuggle-wuggles- “definite” does NOT have an “A” in it anywhere (see meetb4meat TOM). The idea that so many of the comments were all for cuddling, and some were for it more than actual sex acts, is fabulous, although I agree that it isn’t something one usually does after a “quickie” (I used to know what that was). I would cuddle with most of you without even seeing your pics!

  27. HAVASHAME- this article has absolutely nothing to do with what Dewitt (or anyone else in the blog) looks like- but I doubt you are even close. Of course, I am sure that YOU are a paragon of sexual attraction, muscular but not too, hung but not too- and definitely nasty- WAY TOO! Why don’t so many gay folk realize that when we don’t accept, support, and encourage each other, why would anyone else have a desire to do so? with the marginalization that many races and gays have faced through the years, we should be the last to draw lines against “our own” (except, of course, bitter folk like HAVASHAME).

  28. Cuddling is the key to my heart. Yeah sometimes just a fuck or getting your rocks off is great but when you find someone that you want to be next to you for hours…wow! that is something else on a whole new level!

  29. @Todd: Sex stopped being an exclusively (or even marginally) intimate act shortly after guys put up profiles looking for it “right now.” Real intimacy is tough to obtain when you’ve already skipped through the better part of the events that build it. But hey, we’ve got sex on tap these days, a short conversation and (maybe) an exchange of real names away.

    That said, I love to cuddle – it’s a shame that nine-tenths of my friends are straight. There are days when all I want to do is share some casual physical contact with another person who isn’t sick, smelly, or demented.

    I can’t say I’m into cuddling during sleep, though. Aside from throwing off a lot of heat, I’m an “active” (read: disordered) sleeper. I try to keep my space my own, and it tends to limit the amount of knees, elbows, and head-butts that my partners receive while I’m off in Dreamland. Any time other than that, though, I’m quite happy to be snuggled up with just about anyone.

  30. Cuddling is the BEST! Not with everyone, and not all the time – but cuddling has a big place in my life!

  31. The fact that there’s 52 responses — mostly positive — shows how many ManHunt members need cuddling….

  32. Cuddling is so great when it’s actually with someone that fits you…physically and emotionally lol.
    Some people suck to cuddle with though.

  33. Cuddling rocks! Most guys seem to get a “guilt surge” after orgasm and so they need to beat a hasty retreat from the scene of the crime…or fall asleep. Allowing your body to rest while nuzzeled up close to someone that you just shared a beautiful experience with can be very powerful. Of course, sometimes after some particularly bad sex, I can’t get them up and out fast enough, so it’s all dependant. Don’t even get me started on puppy piles! YUM!!!

  34. (RE: Dewitt

    you are really really really so Yum — i want to climb into your bed, and snatch your Booty up.)

    i’m kinda a Cuddle Slut.

    and i can’t get enough of it, with the right guy.

    cuddling is quite “hot.”

    i’m so terrible, that i like nestling my cock in the crack of a guy’s arse, while in slumber — that way, i still get to show him who’s boss, albeït in a loving way.

    😀

  35. I love it. It can be so sweet, intimate and romantic with the right person. To feel their chest fall under you, its just…amazing!

  36. The first pic is simply breathtaking ! Need more of this kind.
    And yeah, cuddling with the right person just feels awesome.

  37. I am a huge cuddle-freak! My friends actually joke around that I’m a “sleep-spooner”. Often when some of us crash at a friend’s for the night my straight friends will find themselves trapped as my little spoon. I’m always amused when they tell me in the morning 😛

    And I, too, am a very hot person. I run about 99-100 normally, but I’ve never had anyone complain about it. If anything it gives them more of a reason to cuddle. But I guess being from Oregon — It’s cold enough for that!

  38. After reading all the responses, it gives me a warm feeling that guys are more interested in being held (cuddling), than getting their rocks off!! As for me, the one thing I miss the most from my first ex, is the closeness/cuddling I had when he held me at night. I would almost trade the sex part, if I could have the right man hold me on a cold night. 🙂
