Do they go together for you? Which one comes first?

For me it varies... I think it's actually easier for me to have sex with a new person than to allow myself to be vulnerable enough to cuddle. I think I'm much more likely to cuddle with friends because for me there is definitely a level of trust I have to feel to really enjoy it. Snuggles after sex are nice too, but again I don't want to do that with everybody... am I just weird or is anybody else like that too?

    You are totally weird! just like everyone else(o: or at least me and I know I'm weird!

    I think for me though I don't want anyone near me that I don't trust. I tried it out...but it doesn't work for me not for sex and not for cuddles. To me the idea of a cuddle party is way more uncomfortable than a sex party. People seem to get it if you don't want to have sex with them more than if you don't want to cuddle. Maybe to them it is different but for me I have no interest in cuddling with anyone but the people who are very very closest to me. Not even the ones close to me, only the very very closest and the ones who that feels like part of the relationship to me.

      I love cuddles and sex but they dont always go in a certain order. I can snuggle without sex since I am very physical or I can sex it up with no post-coital cuddling. I wont turn snuggles down unless its just too damn hot and/or sweaty for whatever reason :D Hmm for me it could be seen in the same light as "What came first the chicken or the egg?" Lol.

    Yup, they go together nicely. But don't have to. I like cuddles without sex and cuddles with sex and sex without cuddles and cuddles before and after sex.

    I'm with SV -- cuddle parties kinda freak me out. I think I might feel more comfortable at a sex party, too. I think that may be because I'm suspicious of motives at cuddle parties. There's this kind of feigned intimacy. Some people might just be enjoying the contact, some may be hoping to get in your pants. You really don't know where you stand. At least at a sex party the intent is reasonably clear. But I don't do either casually...

    I find the cuddling almost more intimate than most sex so I prefer to save the cuddling for when I am in a relationship with them. Or for with friends and even then it feels almost too much. I think it stems from not being used to being touched at all as a kid.

      It's funny how what happens to us when we are younger shapes us, isn't it?? I wasn't touched/hugged/cuddled much as a kid either, so when my kids were little I basically cuddled the snot out of them because that's what I had longed for as a kid.

    For me sex without cuddling and snuggling is unthinkable. It would be just an act of reproduction. I find pleasure in sex when the partner is a woman with whom I might just as well only cuddle and snuggle, if it's what we two want at that special moment. So the moment decides if the two go together or if it's just cuddling. But sex only - not for me.
