It's huge but i'm learning to keep a partial sense of sanity without it although studies have shown that people's life expectancy is reduced in those who have no physical contact with others, so it's a health requirement like food and water.

I read the same information and began wondering if I should seek a cuddle buddy at some point.😫@SW-User

@AnonymouslyYours It's hard to find anyone who doesn't want it to be a full on relationship, or thinks the other person will want it to be more. I met someone years ago who actually enjoyed just being friends and we'd meet up on weekends occasionally but that only lasted until they got into a relationship. You'd think it'd be easier than this lol
