OPEN DISCUSSION ~ Cuddle Therapy ๐ซ
Iโve heard of cuddle therapy before, but it came up in conversation again recently and it got me thinkingโฆ
Now, Iโll be honest, my first reaction was โthat sounds a bit odd.โ
But then I caught myself and asked, why does it feel weird?
Why are massages so socially accepted, but non-sexual, platonic, soothing human contact isnโt?
Weโre living in a time where so many people feel lonely, touch-deprived, and disconnected! And that doesnโt just affect emotions, it impacts our physical and mental health too.
Safe, consensual touch is a basic human need, so why is it something we shy away from?
I think here in the UK especially, our attitude towards non-sexual physical affection outside of romantic relationships can feel a bit closed off. And honestly, I find that quite sad.
Iโm really curious to hear your thoughts on this ๐ญ
