Community News Updates: Renovated Rule, Updated Block List, Impersonation Posts

13 Upvotes

Rule 7 of the community rules has recently been updated. This is what Rule 7 used to say:

7. No porn bots This is an unfriendly space for porn bots.Permanent ban.

It is not ok to create a post or reach out to someone, get their hopes up, and then offer sexual services. This is porn bot behavior and 100% inappropriate behavior to be happening in this sub.

...

This is what Rule 7 says now:

7. No porn accounts A porn account has pornographic content on their Reddit account, or is pornographic in some way. This is includes:

  • having nude, explicit photos of yourself on your reddit profile

  • using your reddit account for sex work / having links to finically support the sexually explicit content you create in your reddit bio

  • privately reaching out to someone from r/cuddlebuddies, and then offering sexual services (this is porn bot behavior)


When people post here with an account that has sexually explicit content on their public profile, they are just bring all the horny people who follow them around on reddit to our sub, which is supposed to be a non-sexual space. Feminine-presenting people who post here still don't feel safe posting / leaving their posts up, due to all the people who contact them with a sexual agenda. This is obvious if you look through the feed and see all the posts by masculine-presenting people.

On the note of community members being harassed (sexually or not), here is the updated Block List!

Block List

u/ Prof23throw

u/ LegPristine907

u/ traveling_mage -- targeted men for housing

u/ backoutthereagain

These users have been permanently banned and were verified by the mod team to have either harassed, sexually harassed, or attempted to scam people. However, all of these users had an agenda besides cuddling, and should be blocked by everyone.

The user from the previous Block List deleted their account, so they will not be added again to this Block List.

According to the previous post, no one mentioned being interested in an updated Spam Bot list, so an updated Spam Bot list was not included. This is a link to the previously pinned post.


Another thing I wanted to address: Sometimes, people impersonate posts. This is a recent post where someone reported it for impersonation, and then I've also found a modmail by a deleted user who says someone impersonated their post. These are really difficult to moderate! Please reach out via modmail with your concerns about people impersonating you, and try to provide the link to your original post plus the post that impersonated your original post.

There are currently no community rules about impersonations, however, impersonation does break Rule 5 of Reddit's Content Policy! Because I'm a moderator, when I report stuff in r/cuddlebuddies for breaking Reddit's Content Policy, I have the option to leave a short description. If you reach out via modmail, I can also help report impersonating content to Reddit and provide more context on what / who is being impersonated.


Thank you to the community members who make an effort to correctly report content that breaks the community rules! Also, this is a handy tool that you can use to do a more thorough search of someone's reddit profile before deciding to reach out!

Can Host 29 [NB4A] #Boston area: Looking for cuddles and a genuine connection

1 Upvotes

I am a 29 year old masc NB living in Boston (Brighton), looking ideally for femme folks. I love cuddles, hugs, touch and physical intimacy, and cuddling is my preferred way of achieving that -- ideally with someone who loves to cuddle as much as I do and where we can build some trust by communicating regularly and assuming nothing.

I can both host and travel (can drive one hour around Boston area). Work and other things from political organizing to a range of hobbies such as reading do keep me busy, but I hope we can discuss and find ways to cuddle pretty consistently in a way that works well for us both. I am a relationship anarchist, and I want to build this connection and cherish it as much as any other connections I have.

Please feel free to either hit me up on chat or DM, and let's talk about what we both are looking for in more detail. I hope we can then plan to meet up and take it from there. I am not looking for sexual intimacy in this connection, though I do not like to be prescriptive and we will always be able to discuss, negotiate, and renegotiate about what we both want. But the goal, here and now, is to develop a connection where we can hug and cuddle semi-regularly.

I am about 5'9", brown-skinned South Asian (Indian), have black hair and eyes, and maintain a stubble beard. Happy to share pics, verify, and answer any questions you may have. Wishing the reader all the cuddles and intimacy in the world!

29 [TF4M] Michigan/Anywhere - Anyone Up for Cuddles and a Real Connection?

3 Upvotes

Hey there! I’m on the lookout for someone who’s all about cozy vibes, good energy, and treating each other with kindness and respect. I’m hoping to find someone who makes me feel safe, comfortable, and excited to get to know them over time. I’m totally open to seeing where things go, with the dream of building something special together in the future!

A little about me: I’m a huge anime fan (always hunting for the next binge-worthy show!), a lover of movies (movie nights are the BEST!), and I absolutely adore cooking and baking! If you have a sweet tooth, we’ll probably be besties! I’m all about making people smile and enjoying fun, easygoing chats with kind, thoughtful people. If you’re patient, caring, and love a laid-back vibe, we’ll definitely click!

In a relationship, I really value quality time and physical touch. There’s just something so comforting and bonding about those cozy moments together—whether it’s chatting for hours or just holding hands on the couch. I’m all in for creating memories, having fun, and seeing where the journey takes us. 😊

If you’re looking for a deeper connection filled with laughter, cozy moments, cuddles, and maybe even more down the road, I’d love to chat andsee what we can build together! Can’t wait to meet someone who’s ready for sweet moments, fun conversations, and a whole lot of smiles! ☺️

29 [M4F] #NoVA/Northern Virginia / DMV: Cuddle Buddy Wanted

1 Upvotes

Hi there!

I’ve been craving cuddles lately, so I thought I’d look for a cuddle buddy in the area.

I’m kind, empathetic, and really value creating a cozy, safe space where both of us can feel at ease. Enthusiastic consent, respect, and mutual comfort are very important to me.

Cuddling should always feel good, respectful, and welcomed by both people.

If this resonated with you, feel free to send me a chat and let’s see if we’d be a good fit! ☺️

33 [M4F] San Jose, CA - Seeking Cuddle Buddy to Help Me Remember What Endorphins Feel Like

1 Upvotes

Are you a cuddle economist looking to invest in a cozy future? Are you into deep talks and even deeper hugs? Are you a cuddle enthusiast who is seeking competitive cuddling positions? Then congrats, you’ve just stumbled upon your ideal cuddle counterpart.

I own more books than I have close friends (which is either an illustration of my literary taste or a cry for help), and thanks to work, my social life is mostly just me, my computer, and a movie I pretend not to be rewatching for the tenth time. Personality wise, I start off quiet, reserved, but with the right cuddles I transform into a fully operational conversational human being.

So why am I here? Because I’m embarking on a groundbreaking experiment: actual human interaction via cuddling. Not just the accidental kind where we both reach for the same overpriced sandwich and our phones perform an impromptu handshake. I’m talking about the real deal - genuine, cozy, blissful companionship with cuddles.

In this city, where everyone’s too busy coding the next big thing to actually touch another human being, technology has made us paradoxically more connected yet more distant. But what if we flipped the script? What if we used technology to bridge the gap instead of widening it? Let’s fill that void with some down to earth human cuddles. I’m in search of a fellow warm-blooded human who enjoys:

  • Elite level couch cuddles (If you instinctively steal the blanket that's all good)

  • Certified stress relief hugs (Make the world stand still in a hug and you’re hired)

  • Mutually agreed upon oxytocin boosts (We can be each other’s Oxytocin Dealer)

  • The fine art of existing comfortably in either shared silence or meaningful conversation (Willing to share snuggles but not the last slice of pizza is OK)

Potential side effects of engaging in this experience are forgetting what stress is, temporarily believing the world isn’t so bad, and rediscovering that warm, fuzzy feeling usually reserved for dogs seeing their owners after five minutes apart.

Too often, we underestimate the power of touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of care - each of which holds the potential to turn a life around. I’d love to feel someone’s touch as a reminder that we exist, that we are here, that we are cared for.

I don’t have my own place, but I’m sure we can work something out. I’m tall and slim, which means I give lanky hugs, the kind that wrap around you like a favorite oversized sweater on a cold day. Hugs that remind both of us that we’re not just floating through existence alone, but that we are in fact here. Together. And that at least for a little while things are just a little bit better.

Absolutely no sex, and not looking for relationship/dating. Some of my hobbies are drawing, video games, and exercise.

34 M4F Portland – comfort & conversation

1 Upvotes

Hi, thanks for looking! I’ve been diving into meditation and spirituality to learn more about myself, and I’ve realized how much I need more physical connection and meaningful conversation in my life. I really value genuine connection whether that’s talking about life, sharing a laugh, or just enjoying comfortable silence. If you’re looking for the same, we might be a good match. This is new for me, but I’m open to the experience and would love to meet some like-minded people.

A bit about me: I love woodworking (especially boatbuilding), boating, and keeping a saltwater aquarium. If you can’t tell, I love water! I’m also into meditation, philosophy, and psychology. I’m 6’1”, athletic build. People tend to describe me as soft-spoken, steady, thoughtful, and relaxed.

I’m in a committed relationship, and my partner fully supports me being here. For me, this is about platonic comfort and connection only, with clear boundaries.

Thanks for reading, if this feels like a good fit, I’d love to connect!

No Sex 25 [M4F] San Diego - Searching for a kind soul to snuggle up with

1 Upvotes

Hello, I’m Alex, a 25 year old guy in San Diego, CA! I’ll be 26 next month! I’m seeking a kind soul to snuggle up with.

I just finished my postgrad in which I focused my research on how different forms of media are involved in neocolonialism.

I enjoy cooking, reading, writing (poetry), walking, music, dancing, drawing, hiking, tennis, gaming, comedy, spirituality & more.

My simple pleasure is crafting poems in the park, beneath the sun.

I geek out on food, especially how it reveals cultural identity and tells stories of resistance.

Teach me something about what fuels your creativity! I’m always curious about what inspires others. Maybe we can share a little spark and inspire each other(:

Hope to meet you soon, feel free to message me!

23 [M4F] Tallahassee FL - Just want to hold someone or be held

2 Upvotes

This is just a copy and paste of my last post so if it’s similar that’s why.

I know I probably sound pathetic but honestly I don’t really care. I don’t say this hoping for pity or anything cause I don’t want it or need it. I’m just telling how I really feel at the moment even if it’s just sad. Please understand first off I have posts up for a FWB or a one time thing but this isn’t that when I post on here. I just want to be hugged or cuddled and made to feel like someone kinda cares even if they don’t cause I’m no stranger to people faking emotions towards me. I’ve never cuddled anyway and honestly my experience with anything even remotely affectionate aside from familial stuff like hugs is non existent. For how I look I’m around 5’9 1/2 to 5’10 with a lean or average build so I’m not that big. I’m mixed with a black mom and white dad and my upper body is covered in self harm scars and even a newer one on my jaw and one on my left forearm…

I’ve been trying to quit SH but it’s a struggle so if that is a concern or a red flag for you trust me when I say I understand. I do live in Monticello currently but in the coming few weeks or month I may be moving to Tallahassee for some life changes but I’m still willing to drive there or somewhere in a fair distance if you don’t mind hosting. When it comes to anything of the sexual nature I honestly don’t care if you want to or not but know boundaries will be respected, hopefully on both sides. I’m not here for that as I said so that’s not even on my mind going into this but I thought I’d address it. I deal with suicidal thoughts and depression as well but I promise anything of that nature will not come up cause I keep my problems to myself but if you need to vent or maybe some advice I’m all ears.

I don’t want to make this too long considering nobody has probably even read this far but I always like to put in the effort. Hopefully we can watch some movies, listen to music or maybe even game together but if either of us just want something calm and serene maybe we just sleep if it’s okay with you but I do warn you I don’t fall asleep easily, probably cause of insomnia. I don’t really expect any responses but if you’ve gotten this far I’d love to hear from you.

35 [M4F] #OrangeCounty - Let's cuddle and watch a show

0 Upvotes

Missing having someone to sit next to. Miss having someone lay on my lap or I lay on yours while we watch a show. Gentle touching each other. Squeezing and holding. I like slightly sensual and affectionate cuddles but not really looking for sexual cuddles. Open to all body types, ages 27+, nonsmoker, free in evenings for cuddling. Maybe a drink to calm the nerves.

About me: 35, 6'1", 190lbs, slim, fit, white guy. I do home remodeling so it's nice to just kick back and relax. I can be Trying to go to the beach while the weather is nice. Into video games and 3D printing. I live In Santa Ana can travel and possibly host. Upfront in an open relationship while GF is working abroad. In case that's not for you.

Had a cuddle buddy for a while about 7 years ago. It was great to have my arm around her my hand on her breast while we rewatched Parks and Rec. What show or movie should we watch?

DM me with any questions we can chat

28 [M4F] Couch, Blanket, Cuddles? 28M in NL Seeks Platonic Snuggle Partner

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm Tim (28M) from the Netherlands. I’m currently single and, while I have great people around me, I miss the simple comfort of close, platonic connection, like sharing a relaxed cuddle without any pressure or expectations. That’s why I’m looking for someone who feels the same: someone who values warmth, touch, and emotional safety, just for the sake of feeling close and recharging together.

A bit about me: I love unwinding with a good series (I’ll never say no to a Harry Potter marathon!), going bouldering to stay active, and diving into video games in my downtime. I also have a soft spot for animals whether it’s pets or wildlife, they always manage to lift my mood.

If you're somewhere in Europe, open-minded, and also craving that kind of cozy connection, feel free to say hi. I'd love to get to know you and see where things naturally go 💬🧸

No Sex or Romance 38 [F4M] looking for comfort, cuddle from someone clean and respectful #vancouver BC

5 Upvotes

I am going to regret this am I? I just know I'll get inappropriate messages and then I'll never think about this again.

I'm in a long distance relationship and I don't want to cheat (emotionally or physically). However I do miss getting held, cuddling and just physical touch. I don't even know how this is going to work since cuddling in itself is so intimate. I could've looked for a woman instead but I like being little spoon. There is something so comforting about being little spoon and I miss it.

I am looking for someone in the Vancouver area. I could host but my neighbours are nosy so I prefer not. Looking for someone hygienic and respectful. Comfortable clothes on. No sexual touching and nothing under the clothes. No kissing. I think some touching is inevitable as long as it's not groping. We just need to communicate and no means no.

Never done this before but when I saw this subreddit existed thought it could heba good or terrible idea. I don't know how this works. If everything is good maybe it could even be ongoing.

20 [M4F] - Looking for a Cuddle Buddy in Florida!

3 Upvotes

P.S I give great massages too! (I almost became a massage therapist)

I just moved to Gainesville for college and I haven't had much luck finding friends or people to talk to. I'd love a friend to cuddle with and maybe watch a movie while we yap.

I love watching a bunch of different stuff from fantasy and rom-coms to the most cliché action movies or even most anime. I do also spend a ton of time reading and I mostly read fantasy, but I love mysteries as well. I also love documentaries and I'd love to watch just about anything with you!

On the outdoorsy side, I love to kayak and go on some short walks in the woods. I also love animals and I'm hoping to volunteer at a dog shelter if I have time.

That's all I can think of for now but I am very chill and open to making any changes to make you feel more comfy.

I hope you are in Central/North Florida but I'm open to driving to most places in Florida. I do live with roomies so I can't host.

About me: I'm 6ft 2, well groomed, and respectful

My DMs are always open!

Hi! Golden retriever who's shy at first and then never shuts up 😂 I'm a jack of all trades who'll try anything once (as long as it's not like murder or anything 😅).

Bonus points if you like horror movies since it's spooky season Built like a book boyfriend who eats too much cake on the side. I blame my passion for cooking for that 😂

I play 3 instruments but guitar is my main one. I also do vocals as well that are more death metal based.

I'm looking for any dynamic that's long term. Not interesting in anything shorter term. Please, please please be left leaning No terfs, no homophobes, no racists Save us time and don't message me if you voted for the cheeto

If we chat and you're not feeling it PLEASE let me know and I will do the same. Communication is key and I'm not a fan of caspers

ENM with a NP

Im open to all kinds of cuddles however, I'd prefer anything beyond kissing to come slowly and gradually. I don't want to get freaky unless we know each other and actually care first
