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

15 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!

35 [M4F] Vienna: Loooking for a cuddlebuddy for deep talk and deeper cuddles

1 Upvotes

Hey, I’m looking for someone for warm, kind, smart, and funny cuddle evenings. I imagine we could maybe even have little themes for them. It has to be non-sexual — the focus should simply be on warmth, comfort, and closeness.

I sometimes go to cuddle parties, and I also organize a lot of events, mainly focused on humor. I do improv, stand-up, and volunteer work, so I’m generally a very social and playful person.

I’m looking for a cuddle buddy who wants something similar: safe, relaxed evenings focused on healing, trust, and normalizing non-sexual cuddles.

No Sex 23 [M4F] Northern VA

1 Upvotes

Hey all! I'll get straight to the point: I'm inexperienced and pretty lonely, and I'm looking for someone to show me the ropes, so to speak. I also just really wanna be someone's everything. Ideally, you're a bit older than me (27-32) on the bigger/curvier side and more experienced. But these are not hard requirements! I really won't turn anyone down. You'll have to be able to host, as I still live with my folks, but I'll happily help with gas money, travel costs, etc. I'm open to some romance if there's real intent and emotion behind it, but absolutely no sex, and no shade if you want it to stay at platonic cuddling. Looking forward to meeting you~

Can Host 30 [M4F] #LosAngeles Who needs to be embraced?

2 Upvotes

Hello there, I'll admit I did not think I'd be back here again, but life happens haha. As the song goes the problem isn't the problem, the problem is your attitude about the problem.

I'm in my 30s (damn time flies lol), but I keep my inner child nice and satisfied hahaha. I've had more than a few life experiences, been married and divorced, found the love of my life and lost her, rediscovered myself and my passions, and I'm still trying new things. Life is all about what you make of it, and I intend to make the most of it :)

Though with all that said, with everything I've experienced and learned and discovered, the one thing that is still missing is holding someone close, wrapping them in my arms, feeling their body pressed against mine, our heartbeats in sync, our hands exploring and caressing each other. And more than anytbing, falling asleep beside someone. Some of that may be too much to ask for at once, but I am looking for a sweet someone that would enjoy being held in my long arms and pressed against my warm chest (in all seriousness, I run really hot hahaha).

I'm in my 30s, 6'4 (really, I don't know why people are still surprised), 210ish lbs, short hair, usually have a short beard (though I would enjoy you pulling it close), light hazel eyes. I can host.

Ideally you'd be on the shorter or petite side, but in all honesty everyone is short by my side haha. We can either just hold each other or watch something, but I do have an opinion on everything and am always looking to learn new things if you want to talk :)

If this does interest you send me a message saying what you're looking for, and let's see if we can help each other out :)

Feeling lonely, wanting cuddles or physical intimacy without the expectation of sex?

About me: 5'8, average build, non smoker, Very gentle and caring. I also love to give massages. I can stay until the morning or leave when you fall asleep or are satisfied. Willing to share a photo of myself to those who are interested.

Located in Essex, able to travel or host, newly discovered my apartment stays cool in summer so added bonus.

Women of all ethnicities, sizes and ages 18+ are welcome, my only requirement is that you're clean.
We can watch a movie, play games, you could tell me about your day or whatever you want to talk about. It doesn't matter if you're talkative or quiet or if you want to get straight to the cuddling.

23 [M4F] Chicago suburbs, looking for cuddle buddy!

1 Upvotes

Hey friends, a little about me:

I’m a 23 year old man, 5’9 and 155 pounds (a little stocky around the midsection, which may be good for cuddles. You decide lol). I live in the Western suburbs of Chicago, but can travel to any suburb as long as it’s not the city proper. I cannot host, but again, can travel anywhere. Also, I’m 420 friendly.

I’m a huge movie nerd, so if you’re into that, definitely give me some recommendations of stuff we might watch together if we click. Speaking of clicking, I’d totally be down to meet first before anything further happens. Your comfort is my priority.

Regarding cuddling, I’m definitely a fan of skin on skin cuddling, but I know not everyone is into that. If you aren’t, that’s cool and I can do whatever you’re comfortable with!

If you’re interested, shoot me a dm and we will discuss further. Peace!

27 [M4F] #Manhattan - looking for a cuddle buddy

1 Upvotes

Hi there! I am fairly new to NYC and still trying to meet new people. I have been craving some touch (moving is so hectic) and thought it would be nice to have a cuddle buddy.

I’m well educated (with a doctorate) and pretty kind dude. I genuinely enjoy knowing people. I’m well traveled and have met so many amazing people on my solo trips. I like being active and outdoorsy. I take good care of my health and have a slim-athletic build. I’m 5’5” and 140 lbs. I also enjoy dancing, exploring cute cafes, farmer markets, parks, movie nights, so I would be down to hang as friends too.

I’m mainly looking for someone kind and someone who takes care of their health and is interesting enough to carry good conversations. Bonus if you enjoy chatting about lifey things. We could watch movies while cuddling or read a book together. Looking for someone who enjoys a genuine touch. Please send me a chat if this interests you!

Hey Austinite here. I made a great friend here years ago and feel like trying this again. I’d love to cuddle, on the couch, bed, anywhere. Just holding hands, rubbing heads and hair, let’s do it. I’m single, mobile, can’t host but can cook or bring snacks.

I’m fairly fit, no beard, and pretty available. Let’s chat more or meet for coffee first and then cuddle. Am also up for cuddling in the park, under a tree!

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! ☺️

36 [M4A] Southwest US - someone to lay on the grass at the park and just chat

0 Upvotes

Hello! Hoping to find someone to meet at a park and lay under the shade of a tree, just let our stream of consciousness take the wheel. ​If we hit it off as friends, I'd be open to exploring physical affectionate touch.

I'm on the taller side, hispanic, and plus size. I've worked in hospital admin and at a bookstore, and volunteer at a community arts center. I enjoy going to the movies, walks at parks across town, going to writing and drawing groups, perusing bookstores and libraries, writing letters, junk journaling, mental health recovery modalities and psychosocial rehab, spontaneous adventures, and some nerdy pop culture (marvel, star wars, lotr, shojou manga, dark romantasy books, etc.)

I am based in Central New Mexico. Will share exact location in DMs. Please be 25+, willing to exchange photos and voice message early on to verify we are who we say we are, in the same area or close enough, and comfortable with messaging beyond a "hey" or any other short messages. Respond with your age, gender, and location + a local coffee/tea spot you like going to or some ways you kill time :)!

Me: 29M, 6’0”, 180 lbs, based in DC. Life can get hectic and I’m looking for a cuddle buddy to unwind with after long workdays and on weekends.

Kissing, cuddling, and mutual touch are important to me and part of what I’m looking for.

42 [M4F] San Francisco/Mid-Peninsula - Summer Cuddle

1 Upvotes

Ladies, I know there are hundreds of guys here, so thanks for reading.

I’m looking for a "cuddle friend" who is also missing those “warm-fuzzy” feeling. This can be strictly platonic, but I’m open to sparks flying or exchanging back rubs.  I can host some afternoons at a local hotel.  

I’m a fit, white, blue-eyed, sort brown hair, clean cut guy in my 40s (though I’m told I pass for 30s) who spends his time building things, testing recipes, or finding any excuse to be outdoors. HWP, DDF.

I’m told I’m an excellent conversationalist, but I’ll let you be the judge.

We can meet for matcha, boba, or a cocktail in a public spot to see if we actually vibe. If you’re ready for a cuddle, send me a message!

No Sex 35 [F4M] Maryland/MD - looking for someone who is very affectionate, seeking fellow touch starved person

4 Upvotes

I’m a 35 year old plus size woman seeking a platonic cuddle/affection friend. Unfortunately I can’t host so I will need someone who can host. I’d like to meet once or twice in a public place first. I am recovering from a lot of trauma in my life and I’m seeking safe touch. Im very affectionate and touchy and with the right person I’m good at giving and receiving affection. I’m not awkward about it and I know how to reciprocate.

My preference is for someone close-ish to my age, someone who likes to be big spoon, and play with my hair and exchange gentle touch. Not seeking sex or sexual activities. I am single and unattached; please be the same or at least don’t be cheating on your partner. I have a thing for fat, chubby or otherwise big dudes, but it’s not a requirement. Hoping more for a mental connection of some kind.

I would also prefer someone who is open to being in a relationship if the attachment went in that direction.

Please be able to meet semi-consistently. I’m hoping for every two weeks or so. I don’t want to wait months in between cuddle sessions.

I’m kinda nerdy, artistic, love movies and books, video games sometimes, love food and restaurants, love the arcade. Minimalistic, down to earth, intelligent, low maintenance (in terms of clothes, I don’t wear makeup, etc) highly educated if that matters.

I’m located in Maryland, but open to PA or VA if we can make it work.

420 Friendly 25[M4F] Bangalore, India- Affectionate guy looking for cuddle partner

0 Upvotes

I know the chances of getting any response from here is next to impossible but still I’m gonna shoot my shot. I’m 25M from Bangalore, fit and I take care of my body well. I’m also a very kind and affectionate person. Nowadays I’m feeling a bit stressed as I’ve quit my job and also the stress from competitive exam preparation.

So I’m in a need of a cuddle partner who resides in Bangalore. First we can get to know each other and then take things slowly. I’m not in a hurry. You can also expect good emotional support, cuddling from me as well.

So HMU if you meet this criteria.

25 [M4F] Southern PA - Extremely affectionate guy looking for the same

0 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:)

Can Host 27 [M4A] Winschoten - Netherlands - Looking for a regular cuddle buddy

0 Upvotes

I notice the lack of closeness and cuddles impacts me mentally. I'm a quite introverted person and do not have a ton of friends, nor do I want a ton, as I'm a loner in nature, with a geeky passion for wuxia novels.

I'm looking for an available and approachable person, I can move around if needed. I'm open to anyone but I feel closer with men usually :3
