It does for me.

...and I learned all I know from a pro. 😎

Just not with everyone. Lol

There is something really wonderful about cuddling as strange as it sounds. Feeling her breathe, the warmth of her body, the smell of her hair or perfume. It's a most peaceful feeling.  

It's easier than massage and it's Healthy for you.

And as has been said several times, it is essential for health.

but I am also a touchy, feely type who enjoys sensuality.

but trying to throttle back to cuddle when I'm super-horny sure doesn't, lol.

Post coitol cuddles is one of my favorite things to do with a client. It's nice to just relax and feel their body next to yours.

And having sex with someone without it just isn't as good. I checked out a couple cuddle buddy websites once, ghost towns unfortunately so I found a cheap hooker and spent an hour just cuddling. She told me the only other person to request that was a man who had recently lost his wife. It's not something I would pay for on the regular because sex, but it was a really good experience.

Partly because of age and physical condition--or lack thereof--but also because it makes me feel good in a different way than sex.

regular LA Kgirls.  I was actually surprised that she wanted to cuddle and have body contact the whole night through.  Of course, turning the thermostat down to 65 helps, too.  

I think a girl who sleeps "close to you" all night is a girl who actually likes the physical contact with you rather than the girl who is just faking it to get paid. Those women will typically push you away in the middle of the night.

The link posted by fish doesn't lead to any "paid service"  

where the girl doesn't want any body contact at all during sleep time.  If they put their panties and top back on to sleep, you know her bod is off-limits until morning.  This recent one was one of the most connected I've had for an outside girlfriend.  When you are awakened because she's fondling your dick and kissing your neck, leading to middle-of-the-night sex, you know she's genuinely into you and its not just a service.  She's got a vacation coming up, so we will go somewhere for a week, probably Hawaii, OTC, but I will pay all expenses as is my usual practice with working girls that have morphed into outside girlfriends.  

Before, the cuddling establishes bodily contact and ramps up the heat.  After, the cuddling establishes that you care about one another's feelings, IOW, you're not just pieces of meat.

I have a hard time falling asleep when someone's touching me. It doesn't really have anything to do w/how much I like or dislike the person. When I feel a touch, I wake up.  

and since you are not a "holder" of course in your experience the "girl" is the "holdee" My experience is a bit different. In many of my LTRs we'd switch being the "holder and the holdee" periodically during the night, taking turns holding each other. You are admittedly NOT a snuggler so it would be rare for you to ever be the "holder" don't you agree?

I guess we'll now have to call you and fishbro "The Cuddler."

You're welcome.
As for me, I prefer fucking.  And then they leave.  No sleepy-bye, no cuddling.  Unless I cuddle up to some vodka.

Maybe TER could add that to providers' profiles under "Services offered"--"cuddle"

We're all different.  

I know I talk to a lot of guys who say they can't stand having a woman hang all over them while they are trying to sleep. These are the very same guys who would NEVER book an overnight, and usually come out to berate those of us who do. You know the "why would you pay a woman to sleep?" crowd.

SOME people do book overnights because they want to cuddle all night.

with some vodka (tequila) interspersed in between, works just fine for me too.

There's something about those weird smiles.

is a great mental (and physical awakening) stimulation to get ready for another round.

Google to find weird shit like this?

For $60, there should at least be a happy ending!!!

"Moonied" if they're facing away from you during the cuddle.  

Always is the way to go.  

touch...skin to skin contact...all that jazz

The Cuddler.

I Love to Cuddle! Especially when it's cold and rainy!
