Lynx yours right typing the word hug doesn't always cut it.Its like typing out an email to explain to someone how a particular food tastes...just doesn't work...it needs to be experienced inorder for itz dynamic to work and be appreciated.
God created these expressions of affection for us and there are thousands of people who would at times do anything just to be hugged ESP if they're going through difficult times ect.
i love hugs and cuddles so so much I think maybe I'm a kind of hug/cuddle addict!..lol

Group hug! Yes! Cuddle friends - Yes, (In Christ)!
The Apostle Paul often closes his letters by inviting members of church congregations to “greet one another with a holy kiss” (Romans: 16:16, 1st Corinthians: 16: 20). In the King James version of John’s Gospel, the thirteenth chapter, the apostle John is described as reclining on Jesus’s breast or bosom (John: 13:23,25). In the preceding chapter, we are treated to the touching story of Mary, the sister of Lazarus, breaking open a bottle of expensive perfume and anointing the feet of her Lord. While not overtly sexual, it was most definitely affectionate; and yes, even sensual. Essentially, she was massaging his feet and drying them with her hair.
I think most people will agree with this thread, but a few might react in fear, rather than faith; because of their past, or because of God's warnings of the flesh and its triggers. No one here (I hope) is throwing out righteousness and the considerations of warnings to lustful things, but we are not talking about cuddling leading to an orgy.We are talking about a touch of affirmation in Christ.
While concerns should always be aired, it’s too bad that so many well-meaning Christians would object to an event with no sex, no alcohol, and lots of wholesome human interaction. In Christ, “We’re more self-controlled than we think we are.” Scripture lists self-control as one of the “fruit of the Spirit” (Galatians: 5:22-23). As Christians, we believe the Holy Spirit comes to live inside a person’s heart after they place their trust in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. The Spirit then begins to produce fruit, a byproduct of genuine conversion and a changed heart. Self-control is one of those of the fruit of Christ, but where do we get a chance to practice it?
Cuddling teaches and models clear, direct communication, something the Bible also invites us to practice. In fact, rule number five of our cuddling rules in CC is, “If you’re a yes, say yes; if you’re a no, say no,” (its written right over there on the wall), this is remarkably similar to Jesus’s injunction in the Sermon on the Mount, “Let your yes be yes, and your no be no,” (Matthew: 5:37), in which Jesus urges us to state our intentions clearly and directly. Who can argue with that? Smile
.
In order to maintain premarital abstinence, saying no may sometimes be necessary, if someone got the wrong idea. But this is easier said than done; better to practice this skill in the safe confines of Cuddling than waiting until you’re confronted with temptation in the heat of passion on a hot date. Now, remember, cuddling is not kissing or the alike, that goes into new territory and you're back to your righteousness rules Jesus would give you....Smile.
Jesus repeatedly commands Christians to love one another. Sadly, our society has lost touch with touch, one of the oldest and most effective ways to extend love and affection to our fellow human beings. We know from science that some babies die from lack of touch and human bonding. While adults don’t die, they shrivel up emotionally. “They become irritable, and begin to think irritability is normal.” So, with that said, I invite all of us, in Christian love, to make our lives a little less irritable by including some cuddle time in our schedules. I'm grabbing my stuffed bear right now!! NO!- Not!...When I was a child I thought as a child and as an adult I require homebodies not polyester bodies...Smile. Cuddling is about sharing, and affirmation in Christ, not sexual exploits, unless you are married, then it can be the start of things to come, and the ending of things gone well.
Wait, no one said you'd be serving ice cream too! Awesome!..
Let me grab a seat...
