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!

25 (F4M) Hungary - New here, ready to cuddle!

Upvotes

I am 25 years old, 163cm tall, a little chubby, looking for a cuddle-buddy who is larger then me in both weight and height to hold me down and make me feel secure. I like me a big gentleman! So if you are slightly heavier, that's a plus for me.

I am pretty touch starved and lost at the moment. Being held in comfortable silence would fix me. I can't host at the moment, but I am willing to travel to get to you.

I've noticed that this isn't about romance and intimacy, but I would be open to both depending on the mood.

Bit of a longer post

Sooooo, closeted 29y/o femboy, sharing this detail because id hope its okay to dress fem during the cuddles, nothing sexual, just causal or cute. I would much prefer my age range, between 26-32.

Down for platonic cuddles, being friends, and open to relationships if we have good energy and like eachother. (But totally fine if thats not the case! I would like someone i can be platonic friends with though, the thought of just meeting up for cuddles without being friends just feels a bit transactional to me, sorry)

I am a bit anxious of meeting up with a random from reddit, so ideally, we get to know eachother a bit on discord, grab coffee or boba to just meet up once in person, and then we can be cuddle buddies if we vibe :)

Happy to watch anime together or some movie (ive barely seen any movies, so happy to watch your favorites or something new for both of us), enjoy talking about tech & finance/economics, or completely random arguing about random stuff just for the sake of random discussions. I really enjoy cooking together if thats something you like doing too!

other details: im 5'6, just under 130lb. I dont drink or smoke, so id prefer the cuddles not involve drinks or drugs.

Hi 👋
Im a talkative, friendly, inquisitive, and curious person who wants cuddles.
I’ve been touch deprived most of my life because I grew up with a legalistic mindset. Over the past few years I’ve realized the errors of my ways and grown to learn the beauty of platonic cuddling. Had some nice cuddles with close friends who live far away and now I’m trying to find some local ones 😊

I found this on someone else’s profile and felt it described how I feel about cuddles exactly, “It’s not even just the closeness, it’s how peaceful it feels. Like the world goes quiet and I can just breathe and be there.”
It makes me feel so safe and like someone actually cares enough to hold me there.

I understand how important it is to feel safe and respected. Because without it neither party can enjoy the benefits of snuggling.

There are no dumb questions. If you have any questions or doubts I am ready to answer honestly. No need to beat around the bush. 😊

Some of my favorite movies:
anything miles Morales Spiderverse!
Tick tick BOOM!
The LEGO movie
I surprisingly really liked KPop demon hunters

Some fav tv shows:
Gravity Falls
Umbrella Academy
Locke and Key
Ninjago 😅

hello, found this sub and it totally speaks to me. I’m a very affectionate person, and have always felt relaxed and peaceful when cuddling. I enjoy holding hands, soft carressing, running my hands through your hair. Sounds so great and it’s something I haven’t had in a long time !

im 6’1 and 175 lbs, in great shape, always respectful, great at conversations. Can host in NW suburbs. I am in a relationship, which is quite dysfunctional but somehow works. If that doesn’t scare you off , say hello 👋

i’m looking for something that’s surprisingly hard to find.

i’m hoping to meet someone who genuinely enjoys warmth, kindness, and platonic affection. i’m not looking for hookups or rushing into a relationship. i’d love to find someone who’d enjoy spending a few hours together every week or two watching movies, talking, listening to music, or just relaxing together.

physical affection means a lot to me. cuddling, gentle touch, playing with my hair, and simply feeling safe in someone’s presence are what i’m looking for. nothing sexual.

i’m happy to compensate you for your time if that makes things feel comfortable. i know it’s an unusual request, but i’ve lived through a lot, and i’ve realized that safe, caring human connection is something i genuinely need. i’m not looking for someone to fix me. just someone who enjoys giving and receiving kindness.

about me: i work full time in tech, love movies, music, writing, and cooking for people. i’m told i’m easy to talk to, and i enjoy conversations that can be both silly and surprisingly deep.

if you’d like to get to know me first, feel free to message me here. if we both feel comfortable, i’d love to facetime or meet somewhere public to talk about boundaries and expectations before anything else.

i’ve also posted a few G-rated photos on my profile so you know i’m a real person.

wherever life takes you, i hope you find peace. ☮️🌺

No Sex 27F4A netherlands/rotterdam · platonic cuddling & non-sexual physical touch

7 Upvotes

no tldr because if you dont have the mental capacity to read an entire post I don't think we'd match well personality wise anyway. 27f looking for platonic, non-sexual physical touch. that's pretty much it. i miss cuddling or sleeping in the same bed with someone (25+) without the underlying expectation that touches like that should always lead to something more.

preferably, you're from the Rotterdam area and able to host, but I'd be willing to travel further than that if we click. obviously for safety reasons, it'd be nice to have one or a few meetings in public first before I end up locked up in someone's basement.

I'm 170cm, average build, indo-european. born and raised here, so I speak dutch too if that's what you prefer. even with something unconventional like this physical attraction is always a pretty big factor, so please be willing to exchange sfw pictures. please put the word lighthouse in your message so i know you can read. additionally, because of personal experience, I don't feel comfortable doing this with anyone that's in a relationship, no matter if it's ENM or poly or open or whatever.

aside from the obvious, I'd also be up for platonic activities like playing games, watching shows, listening to music, cooking a meal together or even going on outings if that's what we feel like doing.

if any of this speaks to you, please feel free to reach out with at least your age, general location & something about yourself. pictures are very welcome but i understand if that's something you might want to do a bit later in our conversation.

No Sex or Romance 44 [M4F] #BayArea looking for a friend to check out the nude beach

2 Upvotes

Hi! Let me be clear first that I'm not looking for sex or a hookup.

Have you ever wanted to check out a nude beach, but maybe don't feel comfortable going as a single woman and don't want to ask your friends either?

I've gone a few times over the past couple years. first and foremost it's amazing. Being able to be vulnerable and be completely accepted is the most incredible feeling -- once you stop hiding your body under your clothes, you become free to just be a human, and your only choice is to accept your body. It's also a wonderful kind of nonsexual sensuality that you get from feeling the sun and wind on your body.

It's not that fun as a single guy, though -- most people go as couples, and even though I'm hypervigilant about making sure I don't make anyone feel unsafe, I always feel a little out of place. So I'd love to have a friend to go with. Bonus is that we get to have someone to chat with and hang out with!

I'm happy to just chat about my experiences too, even if you are out of town or don't feel comfortable meeting in person!

If any of this sounds like you, message me, I'd love to get to know you!!

I'll close by reiterating that I'm not looking for sex or a hookup, just in case that hasn't been made clear.

37 [M4F] #london Cocktails & Cuddles

1 Upvotes

The perfect night doesn’t need to be loud, expensive, or planned weeks in advance. Sometimes all it takes is a couple of good drinks, a cozy blanket, soft music playing in the background, and someone who makes the whole world feel a little warmer just by being close.

Tonight is about slowing down, laughing at random things, stealing kisses between sips, and holding each other like time isn’t rushing us anywhere. No pressure, no distractions, no need to be anywhere else — just good conversation, warm cuddles, and cocktails made with a little extra love.

Because honestly, the best memories are often the simplest ones: a clink of glasses, a shared smile, and falling asleep wrapped up in each other’s arms.

Cocktails in hand, cuddles on repeat, and absolutely no plans to leave this cozy little bubble tonight.

Howdy I'm finding that I miss the feeling of holding someone in my arms. I love the warmth and care I feel when doing so. I'd love for a lady to come over and watch a movie and eat some snacks whilst cuddled in bed or on the couch. I do have dogs so those who are allergic please don't respond. I can prep gluten free snacks for those who need that accomodation. I can't wait to hear from you! This is available for as long as it is up

26 [M4F] Philadelphia - Homebody missing a human connection!

1 Upvotes

Hi there, my name's Benjamin. I'm 26, 5'10 with long hair and blue eyes. Here's some photos of me! I'd say I lean into my feminine side a lot. I love to wear pink shirts and have a huge plushie collection. I am a chronically online person and unfortunately don't have many friends that live nearby. Most of my time I spend either at my day job, or at home working on various personal projects. I don't play too many video games or watch shows unless I'm doing it with somebody else. Some of the kind of stuff I'm into:

  • TV: Black Mirror, Severance, Pluribus, Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul, Squid Game, Greys Anatomy, ATLA, Doctor Who, Fallout, a few animes
  • Movies: Interstallar, The Substance, basically any Disney movie
  • Games: Stardew Valley, early-2000s online games like Toontown or Wizard101, Dead by Daylight, Overwatch, Minecraft
  • Music: It's so random, I generally like J-Pop adjacent stuff, but most of my favorite artists are really niche. Laufey, Ginger Root, Mili, Jomm, Caitlin Myers, Palmy Chiller, Casey Lee Williams, Demondice. I also love cover artists like Annapantsu or Caleb Hyles

I like to stay home and keep to myself, but I've been missing that human connection. I would really like to have someone to platonically cuddle and just do random friend shit with. I'd love to give each other back rubs, attempt to braid each other's hair, even just doomscroll over each other's shoulder. We can also do dumb kid shit like have a thumb war lmao.

I am unable to host, but willing to drive within an hour or so distance of Philadelphia. If you think we'd vibe well please shoot me a message. Thanks!
