I suppose it's about personal choice. For some people it works, for others it doesn't. I'm one of those people that doesn't associate physical intimacy with emotional, but I know for other people it's different. Each to their own, I guess.

I think with the cuddle buddies thing - as long as you're really clear where the boundaries are and how you feel about each other - it's fine. I mean, that sounds like it's a much more emotional attachment than f*ck buddies but apart from the kissing, it's basically what close friends do anyway isn't it? So there's nothing wrong with it because you're showing your emotional closeness just not in a sexual way (providing you don't opt for the kissing) but just holding hands and things - friendly flirting maybe?
I know people who do the whole friends with benefits thing and honestly I think it's fine but I agree with Pixie, there's no point doing it if there's no attraction. Half the point of it is when there's chemistry between two people and they need to get it out but they don'y want to go as far as a relationship.

^^Yeah, that's exactly what I meant.
I guess I don't really get the cuddle buddies thing. I mean, I'm the sort of person who people like to hug and stuff a lot (my friend made me a jacket that says "I need a hug" on the back, because everyone hugs me and junk, but everyone knows it's platonic, so I don't think that's really the same thing at all... I guess in my opinion I'd either want to be in a relationship or not, I don't want anything in-between. (I just happen to be "cuddly" with friends, but they get it's a friends thing...)

Ahahaha!
See I really like the idea of cuddle-bunnies, I don't want the relationship but I do want the emotional closeness. I've been in a relationship that falls under cuddle-bunnies and it was really, really nice. Maybe this is because that actually falls under the definition of "companionship" which is what I want out of a relationship, whereas normal people usually want the whole shebang.

Looking at a slightly different definition of cuddle bunnies. What if it's more like friends with benefits just without the sex? So it's not the emotional closeness but it's just the physical making-out part? What do you think of that? Would you ever try it? Assuming it was with a friend but maybe not a super close one?

If you were giving it that definition then nope; at that point I think you lose the entire point of cuddle bunnies and you've got a friends with benefits senario, except without the actual point of friends with benefits. So you lose the point of both 'relationship types' and create something utterly superficial. Or at least that's the way I see it. But then I can't see the point of making out |
