Cuddling while sleeping

[jouu]

We were discussing this last night. BF is very big on cuddling up all night, every night, forgoing blankets in favour of body heat where necessary.

Luckily I love it, but he's dated women who hate it and won't be touched while sleeping/trying to sleep, and others who revel in it (I'm one of the latter). He has actually split up with a woman that he liked a lot because she couldn't bear to be cuddled at night and it depressed him too much. He has been like this since childhood when his dad used to snuggle him and his brother until they fell asleep at night.

Do you like to cuddle up with your OH at night? Do you prefer to fall asleep not touching and cuddle up later when it's cooler? Etc? How does OH feel about it?

I take medication that makes me slightly sleepy which probably means I have a higher tolerance for snuggling up. I don't live with my BF so I think I get a good recharge of oxytocin from the nights we do spend together. When I'm premenstrual in particular I find it really comforting/therapeutic and I'll be in a much better mood the next day.

Dumping someone who didn't like to be 'cuddled' at night....

Wow.

Words fail me.

He sounds bizarre and weird to me. I think I would run a mile from this man.

Dp and i cuddle facing each other to fall asleep. Sometimes we end up at some point facing opposite ways or 'spooning' Although our legs are always intertwined however we sleep

We are always touching generally, holding hands while watch TV, cuddling, legs on each other etc.

In the night we always cuddle until very sleepy then both move away, he sleeps on his front and I sleep on my side. Then early morning as we stir, we will spoon cuddle until fully awake.

No I would not like someone who wanted to be firmly cuddled to me at all times especially when asleep but I prefer it to be natural and fluid. We cuddle or touch as much or less as we like. I also would hate to never be cuddled.

I like my own space when I sleep! Though I like having a foot touching or something, just as a tiny cuddle .

I have my own bedroom so meh, pretty obvious what I prefer

You don't live together OP so no chance to develop feeling suffocated. Sounds like you have the perfect balance for you and doesn't really matter what anyone else does, it's you that's with him.

He has actually split up with a woman that he liked a lot because she couldn't bear to be cuddled at night and it depressed him too much.

Lucky escape for her, then.

Yeah it does sound a bit of a tame version of 'I would like access to your body when I want or your dumped' sort of but then during the day is a different matter, me and the husband touch and cuddle each other loads. I suppose some people would find that quite suffocating.

It's the being breathed on all night that would make me feel murderous.

What does he cuddle on the nights he's alone? Buy him one of those 'v' shaped maternity pillows.

For me it's a quick cuddle then fuck off. Could not be doing with someone touching me while asleep.

I love skin to skin contact when I'm sleeping. There is nothing better to me that sleeping together, it's comforting and amazing. Fortunately my partner is the same, we have similar sleeping patterns. I get cold so he's like a hot water bottle for me too. My last partner didn't like cuddling in bed, it's quite lonely if you want the physical contact.

What a bizarre person
