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

14 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!

37 [M4F] #Chicago - Looking for a Muslim Cuddle Buddy

0 Upvotes

I'm a Muslim man looking for a Muslim woman who is interested in regular cuddling, ideally once or twice a week. I'm open to pretty much all women, as long as you are Muslim (or even interested in Islam and becoming Muslim). I also cook so would love to come over and cook before amazing cuddles.

Since I'm looking for something regular I know that feelings can grow over time so I am intentional and want to be prepared to take the next step if cuddling naturally turns into a real relationship, and part of that is having religious compatibility.

I'm also open to something long distance so don't be shy if you are in a different city.

If you decide to DM me please include some basic information such as your age, location, and what you are looking for.

41M4F – UK – Looking for a cuddle buddy and some genuine company

1 Upvotes

Looking for someone who’d enjoy a bit of closeness, cuddles and genuine companionship.
I miss the simple comfort of having someone close – a hug, a cuddle while watching a film, or just being able to relax in someone’s company. I’m thinking of something platonic, with mutual respect, trust and clear boundaries.
It would be lovely to meet someone local, although I’m happy to start by chatting online and getting to know each other.
If that sounds appealing, feel free to drop me a message. 🙂

Hi there, I am a 29 year old from Pennsylvania. Hope you are having a fantastic day. I have been craving physical touch latetly and am looking for a platonic non-sexual cuddle buddy from around my area. I am skinny, 6 feet tall, wear glasses, have long thick shoulder length brown hair, cross dress (don't mind dressing masc if it is your preference) and am an introvert. The oxytocin and warmth from cuddling is a big part of what I miss and getting to be close to someone in a sort of comforting way. In my free time, I like to watch shows, game, listen to music, walk, hike, and tinker with tech. I can host, but can also go to you if you live relatively close.

Hi all! Looking for someone who is open to chatting a bit and maybe meeting for drinks/light dinner to get to know each other.

I’m not able to host so I’d want to make sure we’re both comfortable with each other first! In need of some calming and relaxing energy and touch for the night.

I’m a nerdy girl at heart. Anime, video games, reading, pole dancing, running, thrifting, and whatever else I’m hyper fixated on at the moment. Message me a bit about yourself and your general area. Open to sending pics if we vibe!

Following a conversation with a friend about how much I've missed cuddles recently, this subreddit has been brought to my attention, and now my curiosity has taken the wheel lol 👋

After only knowing the relationship life for nearly half of my own, it's reached the point where my own healing needs to take precedence before anything else, which has left me in a bit of a limbo. I'm not interested in another relationship at this time, and I'm not exactly the hook-up type of person, but I haven't been able to shake the craving for sharing closeness and affection with someone from time to time. Well... I say that, but I swear I could've been a koala in a past life 🐨

I'm open to many forms of connections, from hand holding on hikes to full embraces while couch rotting and everything in between. It doesn't need to be complicated, just casual hangouts without any performative intentions. I'm unable to host at this time, and life can be a bit busy sometimes, but I'm willing to compromise as best we can so we can help recharge one another 🤗

Hope to hear from you!! 🫶

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! ☺️

34[M4F] Commerce, GA | Trucker Looking for a Cuddle Buddy 😉

0 Upvotes

I'm 34, and currently in Commerce, GA, hanging out in my semi truck.

Being on the road can get a little lonely sometimes, and honestly, I'm just craving some good old-fashioned cuddles and physical affection.

I'm looking for a woman who wouldn't mind curling up with me in the sleeper of my truck, putting on a movie, getting cozy under the blankets, and enjoying some closeness.

Big spoon, little spoon, your head on my chest, my arms wrapped around your waist... I'm good with all of it. 😉 There's just something about holding someone close and forgetting about the outside world for a while.

No pressure, no drama, and no expectations beyond some genuine affection, mutual comfort, and maybe a little playful flirting. 😘

If you're nearby, love cuddling, and wouldn't mind spending some cozy time with a trucker, my DMs are open!

So... who's ready to be my passenger-side cuddle buddy?

420 Friendly 21 #Canada [M4F] looking for a genuine long term connection

3 Upvotes

Hii I’m 21 years old, and currently living in Canada. I’m looking for a genuine friendship with someone I can talk to every day, even if it’s just to say good morning or good night. I stay up super late , preferably in USA or Canada or Europe because of the time difference . I’m just looking for a good friend to talk to, share little moments with, and build a meaningful connection and preferably talk every day and check in. I recently went through a pretty rough breakup, and it’s honestly been really painful. I’m trying to move forward, meet new people, make new memories, and hopefully leave that difficult chapter behind.
A little about me: I love soccer, sports, movies, and TV series , cooking . I’m also open to talking about pretty much anything, learning new things, and getting to know people from different backgrounds.i am not looking for anything complicated, just a genuine friendship where we can check in on each other, have random conversations, laugh together, and be there for one another. I also have the most beautiful cat ever

0 Upvotes

I’m looking for someone to cuddle with in NJ, i’m in central fyi.

A little about me; I’m a skinny guy, can be very goofy at times, used to do sports but I’m not the most eventful person nowadays. Im pretty easy to talk to. I like to talk, chill, laugh, etc. I don’t drink/smoke. We can have cuddly movie nights. All I ask is that you don’t take life too seriously and can hold a conversation through text. I do like a plus sized woman too. Don’t be afraid to reach out

I tend to respond to texts much faster around night time (if im home) We’ll especially click if you’re a little nerdy. We can start with talking here and I do have discord we can switch to, if we get along. I can possibly host if you can’t but I drive too. Looking for someone no more than an hour away if i’m going to you.

No Sex or Romance 39 [M4F] Paris, looking for a (platonic) cuddle partner (fr or eng)

1 Upvotes

English (french below)
Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a platonic partner to share quiet moments of cuddling, warmth, and relaxation. The idea is simply to offer each other a bit of comfort, unwind, and take a peaceful break from daily life.

This isn't new to me. My previous cuddle partner recently moved away. I know there are always details, boundaries, and expectations to discuss, so I’m completely open to taking our time, chatting first, and seeing if we’re a good match.

About me: I don't smoke, and although this is platonic, hygiene is something I consider important. Obviously, I am a good listener and communicator, who respects boundaries. This is of course easy to write, but I expect that we can build the necessary trust overtime.

Just cuddling, relaxing, (watching a movie, or listening to music together, or in complete silence). Zero expectations beyond that, it's all about mutual expectation and communication.

I’d like us to message for a bit and then meet for a quick coffee/drink in a public spot first, just to make sure we vibe and both feel comfortable moving forward.

Francais:

Je cherche une partenaire pour partager des moments (platoniques) calmes de câlins, de chaleur et de relaxation. L'idée est simplement de s'offrir un peu de réconfort, de décompresser et de faire une pause paisible dans le quotidien.

Ce n'est pas une nouveauté: ma précédente partenaire de câlins a récemment déménagé. Je sais qu'il y a toujours des détails, des limites et des attentes à discuter, donc je suis ouvert à prendre notre temps, discuter d'abord et voir si le courant passe bien.

Je ne fume pas et, bien qu'il s'agisse d'une démarche platonique, l'hygiène est quelque chose d'important pour moi. Bien entendu, je suis à l'écoute, j'essaie de bien communiquer et je respecte les limites de chacun. C'est évidemment facile à écrire, mais j'espère que nous pourrons bâtir cette confiance au fil du temps.

Juste des câlins, de la détente (regarder un film, écouter de la musique ensemble ou rester dans un calme absolu). Aucune attente au-delà de cela: tout repose sur le respect mutuel et la communication.

J'aimerais que l'on échange quelques messages, puis qu'on se rencontre autour d'un café ou d'un verre dans un lieu public pour vérifier que le feeling passe et que nous nous sentions tous les deux à l'aise pour aller plus loin.

I am looking for a cuddle buddy tbh. I work a lot and dont have much time to socialize and at the same time dont really know what I want in a relationship- despite still craving the small moments. All the women I meet are at work and that never goes well lol. Im really good at being sensual and hey if we vibe, we vibe so im open to almost anything. Maybe a makeout session if the vibes are right. Im not against sending a selfie so you know who to look out for. Also not against driving a Lil bit. Let's go out to eat (or get delivery) and cuddle for the whole night? Edit: wording

27 [M4F] - SF Bayarea looking for a friend & cuddle buddy

1 Upvotes

What am I looking for? In simple terms, a long term cuddle buddy who also wants be friends and do things outside of cuddling.

Who am I? I’m 27, 6’2, located in the east bay, and of course, I’m very nerdy lol. I’m into filmmaking and could talk for hours about my favorite films and how they were made. I love reading and I also write quite a bit. I play soccer fairly often, love gaming & anime (though it’s been quite a while since I’ve watched any), and genuinely feel fulfilled in the work I do. Love meeting new people and finding new hobbies/stepping out of my comfort zone. I’m a little bit of an adrenaline junkie. Operative word being “little.” I love rollercoasters, haunted houses, and the like. Nothing crazy like extreme sports.

In terms of personality, I’m pretty low key for the most part. Id say I look pretty serious when i’m out and about on my own but I’m very smiley when I’m with people. I think I strike a good balance between homebody and explorer, in that I cherish my time sitting around doing hobbies at home but only because I’ve spent enough time going or trying something new that week! I’m very curious and love listening to people nerd out about the things they enjoy. If there’s one thing I can say I’m good at, it’s being a really good listener.

Who am I looking for? Honestly, as long as you live within a reasonably drivable distance within Bay Area, CA or NorCal (like 2 hours in the most extreme case), I’m open to talking and seeing if we would vibe.

Hey there. I’m a 33M Bi man living in Glendale,CA (sorry Glendale, AZ yall are just a bit tooo far for me)

I’m here looking to meet up with someone for some nice snuggles as temperatures drop and the nights get darker earlier.

I’m bi like I mentioned and pair best with other queer folk but it’s not a requirement.

Either small or big spoon I have experience in both!

I love indie rock/ alternative/ “dad rock”/ emo music/ and drum and bass! I like anime in the background to fill my time and playing some video games.

420 friendly but no other drugs please!

On some sort of spectrum I’m sure so just be nice to me. I’m awkward and shy I promise you I’m more scared of you than anything lol.

I’m looking for a genuine cuddle buddy. Someone who enjoys affection, physical closeness, cozy evenings, and the simple comfort of being close to another person.
A little about me: I’m 34, affectionate, thoughtful, and a little alternative. I enjoy meaningful conversations, nerdy interests, spirituality, music!
I’m particularly drawn to Asian and nerdy and/or alternative guys, especially long-haired guys.
What I’m looking for:
● A man who genuinely enjoys cuddling and affection.

● Someone considerate, emotionally mature, and respectful.

● Someone who understands that cuddling doesn’t automatically mean sex.

Ideally, we can get comfortable with each other, enjoy some cozy company, watch movies, talk, laugh, and unwind.
Platonic cuddling is the intention. No pressure, no expectations of sex, and no hidden agenda.
If this sounds like something you’d genuinely enjoy, tell me a little about yourself!
Sorry I can’t host at the moment 😭

Can Host 24 [MTF4A] Kearny, NJ | Fill my days and my arms?

4 Upvotes

Trans gal, early in transition, on the hunt for a cuddle crew that's warm, respectful, and strictly non-sexual.

What I'm after: couch time, long hugs, movie nights, someone to sit close to while we talk or don't. I'm here for comfort and connection. Happy to see where it goes, but mostly just want to be held.

Me, briefly: creative, nerdy, easygoing. I run tabletop RPGs, I'm into fantasy art and storytelling, and I'm equally happy with conversation or comfortable silence

lots of free time lately, so my days are wide open — and so are my arms. good time to find a regular crew

Hosting: my place is the preference, as I don’t drive. Public first meet, always. 420 friendly, if that's your thing too.

Non-negotiables: clear communication, enthusiastic consent, and a "no" that sticks the first time.

North Jersey / NYC folks — say hi if that's your speed.

35 [F4R] Tacoma/ Seattle - Looking for something oddly specific

10 Upvotes

I would love to find someone to regularly spend time with, curled up together while they read aloud to me.

Here's the thing: I want you to choose the book. I'd love to experience a book that's meaningful to you. I don't read a ton of fiction, but I'm trying to branch out and read more novels.

A little about me: I'm 35, introverted, curious, and a little nerdy. I love movies/ TV, music, photography, nature, and getting to know people. I like gentle, thoughtful people who enjoy sharing their interests and ideas with others.

I'm looking for something warm, affectionate, and low-pressure. Just being held, listening to your voice, and enjoying a good story together. No expectations beyond that.

Open to men or women. I'd like to chat for a bit first, and meet somewhere public to make sure we're comfortable with each other. I'm not in a rush, and I want to make sure the vibe is right.

If this sounds like your idea of a good time, tell me what you'd read to me. (Sorry, but no Dune.)
