Professional Cuddling is on the rise not only in the U.S but globally as well and there are many reasons for that. One of the major catalysts behind the increase in demand for professional cuddlers is that thanks to the growing pressure in our everyday lives we, sadly, find almost no time to develop intimate connections. Even if most of us are in a relationship, we forget to spare some time and attention to deepen our relationship and hence end up losing touch with our partners. This results in people feeling lonely, which in turn leads to stress and social anxiety.

Professional cuddling offers a completely clothed and no strings attached solution to lack of intimacy in one’s life. These platonic sessions promise intimacy without the pressure of commitment that comes with a normal relationship. Newcomers to touch therapy and experience these sessions with different partners until they find who they feel can take care of their needs in the best manner. Professional cuddles make themselves available to provide a safe haven for people searching for a connection with another being. The no strings attached nature of these sessions mean one can lead a busy life and still benefit from the pro cuddling to fulfil their innate need for an intimate connection.

Benefits of Professional Cuddling
Cuddling is known to result in the release of oxytocin, a natural feel-good hormone. This release helps considerably in decreasing stress and uplifting a sense of calm within. Reduced stress means lessened depression and increased confidence. Social anxiety goes out the window before you know it and you feel more in-tune with yourself, ready to interact with the world instead of being a depressed soul. Stress is also known to get in the way of peaceful sleep. Regular professional cuddling sessions can reduce stress, resulting in a decrease of insomnia as a consequence. A healthy body matters but our brain has a lot to do with how well do in fighting off diseases. A healthy and relaxed state of mind means an improved immune system and protection against infections.

Cuddling is one of the most effective ways to deepen your relationship with your partner or creating intimate moments. It is so much more than just cosying up to another. Just as with sexual intercourse, cuddling has different positions as well. What works for someone depends on their individual preferences. Let’s look at some best and most effective professional cuddler cuddling positions by listing 10 of the best cuddling positions.

Spooning
One of the most famous positions for cuddling, the spoon. Although it is mostly the male or more dominant personality who plays the role of the spoon, the choice completely depends on the partners involved. It depends whether you’re in the mood of being spooned or would like to become a spoon for your cuddle companion. Both partners lay on their back whilst one partner has their back pressed against the stomach of the one spooning.

The Cradle Cuddle
Bored of the regular spoon cuddle and would want to try something new but do not want to give up the maximum body connection? Cradle is often referred to as the next best position for partners looking for an alternative to spooning. The spooner remains in the same position, laying on their side with their stomach facing the partner. The other wraps their arms around the spooner and lifts their legs up and over their partner’s folded legs. This position offers maximum body contact and face to face time.

The Honeymoon Cuddle
The honeymoon cuddle, often also referred to as the twist, is one of the first position that comes to mind when one thinks of cosying next to their partner. This is a very basic position – think hugging your partner while standing up, expect you’d both be laying down. Raw and intense, this one is for partners who are past the initial stages of basic cuddling and want something more up-close and personal.

The Reverse
If you’ve never experienced using your couch as a cuddling platform, you’re missing out on some amazing positions. The Reverse Twist is one such position that takes lesser space to execute, invites you to innovate but doesn’t compromise on the quality of your cuddle. In this position, one partner lies on their back with their legs stretched slightly open. The other rest on top and in between their legs while resting their head on the chest. An extremely passionate and warm position indeed.

The Couch Spoon
Another innovative cuddling position for you to experiment on your sofa is the Couch Spoon. Here one partner sits with their back against the couch, and the other sits in between the legs facing the other way and their back against the cuddler’s stomach. The couch spoon is great for partners who love to finish a cuddling session with a good old book read. It can also be utilised when your partner wants to open up regarding their feelings but it is too shy to do it while facing your way.

Maximum Heat
The Maximum Heat is an improvisation of the honeymoon cuddle. The cuddler lies on their back, while their partner on the receiving end rests their head on the chest. While this position offers less time, it does take away the feeling of being closer to your loved one. Partners can always entwine their legs to feel even more connected from head to toe.

The Pillow
This one is for times when both or one partner would rather have some space of their own but would also not want to give up on a connection with their partner. For this position, the cuddler sits up straight while their partner uses their lap as a pillow. Perfect for opening to your partner, or to Netflix and chill, the Pillow is a must-try.

The Leg Hug
Another cuddling position that encourages partners to embrace their own space while also staying in touch with their partner. Obvious from the name, in this cuddling position, the bodies remain disconnected while the legs twisted together. This position also is perfect for those starting their journey of touch therapy. People new to professional cuddling world can use this position to build trust with their partner and move on to more intense cuddling positions later.

The Couch Cuddle
A rather simple cuddling position, this one includes partners sitting on their couch on a quiet evening, enjoying their favourite Netflix series. The cuddler puts their arm around their partner’s neck, while the other rest their head on the neck or shoulder.

The Top-Down Hug
One of the cuddling positions that offer maximum warmth, the top-down hug includes the partner at the receiving end of a cuddle lying on the top of the professional cuddler. If done right, this is one of the most passionate cuddling positions, one that is practiced after both parties have spent considerable time building trust together.
