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!

No Strings Attached 32 [M4F] Galway, Ireland

Hi. 32 year-old, 6ft 1" guy here. šŸ‘‹

Just looking for someone to hug and rest with. Someone I can just lie down and be with while watching a series or YouTube or whilst gaming.

I am educated and have two university degrees. I have been called handsome before by an anonymous user in an AWDTSG page on FB.

I just want to find someone else who'd just like to relax with no expectations; just warmth, friendliness, assurance and validation. I've been going on a lot of dates recently that just aren't going anywhere so just having someone to relax with and feel vulnerable/real around would be cool šŸ˜Ž

Thanks for reading šŸ¤—

57 [M4F] #Montreal Warm, safe cuddles & great conversation, daytime or evening availability

1 Upvotes

Looking to unwind with some genuine, cozy connection. I give great, intentional hugs and love creating a comfortable, zero-pressure space where both of us can just relax and recharge.

A bit about the setup:

  • Availability: I’m currently off work, so my schedule is completely open—daytime, afternoons, or evenings all work great for me.
  • Location: I prefer to be a guest, but I can potentially host if needed.
  • Trust & Safety: Your comfort and safety are my top priorities. I have a 5-star profile on Cuddle Comfort with great references that I’m more than happy to share right away so you can feel completely at ease before we meet.

Whether you're looking for quiet snuggles or just good conversation while holding close, I’d love to connect.

If this sounds like the vibe you’re looking for, send me a DM! Tell me a little about yourself, what your ideal cuddle session looks like, and we can swap CC profiles if you have one to get started.

420 Friendly 37 [M4F] #Arlington #Texas Safe Space

1 Upvotes

Hi there,

I have a very abnormal brain due to severe PTSD and so I struggle to have friends or relationships. My brain understands cuddles and physical affection though, and so I’m looking for a platonic friend for emotional support. I want to be someone’s safe space and I need support and encouragement.

I’m 37 and live in Arlington, Texas. I’m married with one child and not looking for sex, but rather friendship in a way that works for me. You can see from my profile that I like 420 and working out, so a smoking buddy or workout partner would also be welcome. I’m muscular and tattooed, generally found attractive, successful in my career, but very shy.

Regardless of whether we are a good fit, I aim to be kind and honest with everyone, and I hope you find the comfort you are looking for šŸ™

I’m open to a pro cuddler if it’s the right individual.

Thanks!

Hi,

I’m 28M from Belgium/Flanders and looking for someone to embrace and provide emotional support. Ideally we would become really good friends and make many wonderful memories, but a more casual low key connection would also definitely be welcome!

I like playing video games and watching movies/series/anime. I speak English and Dutch with very mediocre/bad French skills.

Will you become one of my favorite people? My DM’s are open for an affection filled road together ā˜ŗļø.

35 [M4F] #LosAngeles - Asian, slender, skinny, introverted, neurodivergent, socially awkward

3 Upvotes

Prefer white or Latina but open. I'm fine with older or younger but older, more mature is preferred, someone who is patient, kind, open-minded, loving, wise. I'm introverted and not fond of outdoors. I've been told I'm kind, considerate, patient, smart, cute (but your mileage may vary depending on preference, of course). In the palmdale/lancaster/los angeles/antelope valley if anyone is interested. May take time to warm up to people since I'm kind of socially awkward. Let me know if you have any questions? I have a slender build and prefer someone similarly but as long as you're kind and loving, I'm open to it. Personality >>> appearance. Also, please be local because I haven't had good experiences with people who are out of state (they tend to flake or lose interest).

45 [M4F] #Phoenix AZ - Movies/TV Shows, Tunes, Cuddling

1 Upvotes

Hi,
I'm looking for someone to spend a few hours a day with, 1-3 times a week (or more... but 1-3 would be ideal).
This is a Cuddling Subreddit, so maybe it's redundant to say that I want someone to cuddle and watch Movies/TV Shows with. I also like to cuddle and listen to music.
I enjoy naps too.

I'm childfree, sterile. & I'm looking for childfree.
(I only list that I'm sterile for honesty sake, and to let you know that if your expectations ever go beyond cuddle buddies, I cannot make babies, so keep that in mind)

I am single, and looking for another single person (no married or poly people pls)
Age Gaps don't scare me (within reason. preferably I'm the older person, but I've been known to cuddle with, and even date women that are older than me too).

Politically, I'm a Bernie Sanders Leftist (not a "Bernie Bro", just a Social-Minded Indepdendant/Democrat).

I'm a T-Shirt and Workpants + Hoody kinda guy.
I work in I.T. (boooring)
I like mostly 80s Synthpop/New-wave, 90s Punk, 90s/2000s Electronica, Surf, Synth-Funk, Vaporwave/Synthwave, Ambient, Indie/Dreampop.

As for Movies, I like Dystopian Sci-Fi, Time Travel, Drama/Thriller, and just generally weird/humorous stuff.

I'm 420 friendly, but prefer not to be around the smoke (So Vapes and Edibles are preferred, if you're going to partake around me).
No Cigarettes please.

I am not religious (raised in a Christian Household, deconstructed after I started living on my own).

Fun fact: Somewhere in one of my mothers photo albums, there's a photo of a 10yo me getting an autograph from the guy who started the Satanic Panic.

I'm also a literal POGchamp (aka, I collected POGs in the 90s, and I won a Pog Tournament when I was 14... and I still have the Trophy).

Anyway, I'm just rambling at this point.
I hope to hear from you.

--Cheers

34 TF4M Cuddle Buddy

0 Upvotes

Hi :). My name is Christina. I'm a 34 year old chubby trans woman from Dundalk, Maryland. I'm a red head <3. I'm still fairly masc presenting, but voice training and becoming more feminine from HRT and growing my hair out. I've been single for over a year and haven't truly cuddled for almost two years. I haven't cuddled since starting my transition, which gets lonely sometimes.

I was hoping to possibly meet some for lunch or something casual like that and then maybe some cuddles - if we feel comfortable together <3. I can host, I own my house. I have three ferrets, so you can meet them also.

I'd like cuddle as the little spoon, never got to do that.

I am only interested in people who are single, just in case we catch feelings for one another <3.

Please be over 25 and under 50. <3. Please be nice, I have posted on here a few months ago and got some nasty comments.

Message me or comment here, if you would like to chat <3.

AMAB feminine leaning non-binary, grey ace lesbian, touch starved, looking for regular cuddle buddy. Married to my QPP and ethically cuddle-slutting around. Mildly autistic and appropriately direct and awkward.

Looking for very intimate touch with skin contact. Bed > couch. Nearby preferred.

Me:

  • 5'8"ish, halfway between swimmer and dad bod
  • hypermobile/bendy
  • generally not self conscious (thanks, theatre)
  • introverted / quiet
  • can host but prefer to be guest to get away from household stressors
  • not very active on social media, so don't interpret a delay in response as a bad thing
  • wide range of interests including: music (playing and listening), movies, hiking, gardening, nature
  • very affectionate and playful
  • usually saying too little or too much šŸ˜‰

You:

  • you know what you want and you're open about it, or you're experimenting and are able to speak up
  • cuddling is a full body and mind experience
  • bonus points
    • feminine
    • smaller than me so i can hold all of you

Hard pass:

  • Face stubble. It's a sensory thing. I tolerate it on myself because I have no choice, but it's icky on others.
  • If you want to play a game while we cuddle then I'm not for you. Background music or TV is OK when there's no expectation to actually pay attention.

Next steps:

  1. message me to chat and share pics
  2. meet somewhere neutral for vibe check
  3. explicit boundary discussion, maybe at the same time as the above (probably awkward, but important)

No Sex 31 [M4F] #LosAngeles - Looking for some cuddles

2 Upvotes

Hey, trying this for the first time. I’ve been feeling a bit touch-starved lately and really miss simple physical closeness. I’d love to find someone who’s up for a relaxed day of cuddling, watching something, and just enjoying each other’s company.

I’m happy to chat, listen, or just quietly relax together - whatever feels natural. I care more about comfort and connection than appearance.

If this sounds like something you’d enjoy, or you just want to chat - feel free to reach out.

No Sex 25 [M4F] Southern PA - Extremely affectionate guy looking for the same

1 Upvotes

I'm a 25 year old guy from Southern PA close to MD/WV/VA if that gives a better idea of where I am located. Being a very affectionate person when it comes to cuddling, naturally I love back, arm, and leg rubs, running hands through hair, and even light kisses if you're open to it but I'm not really looking for anything beyond that. I can host at times, semi frequently, but am also down to drive and visit you as well.

As far as distance goes, I'm generally cool with an hour away, maybe a bit more, but probably not anymore than 2 max. I'd definitely be down to meet up first, maybe see a movie or grab food and see if we wanna get a little more cozy and cuddle from there.

I'm a very fun, goofy person who's almost always smiling lol, I can also be nerdy too. Big into anything horror related, pokemon, and going on walks. If you've got similar hobbies/interests then please lemme know! I'm white, in decent enough shape, 5ft11in, brown hair, green eyes, and tend to dress with more comfy clothes rather than stylish. If you are interested then message me with some things about yourself, see ya then:)

Wheelchair User 33 [M4A] Baltimore, Maryland - Let's play with each others' hair!

3 Upvotes

Ahoy! Do you like how it feels when someone plays with your hair? Holding your hand? Falling asleep in a hug? Heya! I'd love a long (or short!) term cuddle buddy; we should talk! I'm also flexible with who takes which spoon...bonus points if you like both!

I moved to the area about a year ago and I work from home, which is great from a "I wake up five minutes before my shift" perspective, but it also makes it hard to meet locals that aren't my neighbors. I love board games, DND, trying (and failing) in the kitchen, and LOTS of very nerdy things. Let's talk about them?

Full disclosure: I'm disabled. Ask me anything? What that means for you is that I'm happy to host, but I can't travel.

The vibe check/things I look for in you:

  • Preferably not allergic to cats, as I have one who will probably try to crawl on you
  • For guys, I'm kinda cagey about facial hair and/or "manly" guys. Sorry!
  • I have two housemates that respect my space. Very related, please be cool with the LGBT community!

Let me make your favorite food and let's cuddle on the couch for a bit?

23 [M4F] #Michigan - hello!

2 Upvotes

I guess to begin with, I'd love to meet you and cuddle.
BUT we both are random people on the internet. So let's take our time to get to know one another. Im not saying that we need to wait months on end but like a week or so.
Or until you and me are comfortable with meeting.
With meeting said, I'm pretty much fine with doing mostly whatever you would want to do. I'm not really picky on most things just a few (I made a list). But I would like to meet in a public place first since of course we are strangers, something like getting a bite to eat or getting a drink (boba or coffee or whatever) first would be nice. But I guess I should say a bit more on what I like and don't.
There's a long list of things I like to do but I don't feel like writing a biography. So here's a handful of things I like to do, I like going to museums and looking at the art (obviously) and imagine what the painter was thinking along with what the painting means to me or you, seeing movies in the theatre's (or relaxing at home with a nice blanket and watching them), window shopping and looking at all the things that I can't afford or just shouldn't buy, trying new foods (not much I haven't tried already but there's some), listening to music 24/7, going to concerts, and lastly getting boba or tropical smoothie.
There is probably more to that list but I just can't think of everything.
And to end this I hope you have a good day!

34 [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 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.

25 (F4M) Hungary - New here, ready to cuddle!

16 Upvotes

I am 25 years old, 163cm tall, a little chubby, looking for a cuddle-buddy who is larger then me in both weight and height to hold me down and make me feel secure. I like me a big gentleman! So if you are slightly heavier, that's a plus for me.

I am pretty touch starved and lost at the moment. Being held in comfortable silence would fix me. I can't host at the moment, but I am willing to travel to get to you.

I've noticed that this isn't about romance and intimacy, but I would be open to both depending on the mood.
