Who doesn’t need a little more love in their lives? And we agree, these days, everything is about trying to reach the end goal as fast as possible. Trying to score fast and then be about your merry way, whether in a one night stand or an actual relationship. It seems as if people are forgetting about the merits of just slowing it down and just being with each other in a non-sexual way. And no, it’s not just a girl thing. Guys love to cuddle too. And anyone who says otherwise either hasn’t properly experienced it or is just lying to themselves. The fact of the matter is, cuddling is just plain awesome. In fact, it’s so awesome, we’ve got twelve reasons why. So without any further delay, snuggle up with a loved one, and here are some reasons why you should be cuddling.
12. It Relaxes You
When you’re stressed out, sometimes you just don’t know what to do. Sometimes it can seem as if your whole world is falling apart and nothing can change it. But don’t fret. Just cuddle! Cuddling releases a little hormone called oxytocin. Oxytocin is linked to many positive benefits, but one of those is the reduction of stress. Another hormone, cortisol, is linked to stress. Oxytocin is shown to be a cortisol inhibitor, which basically means it fights it off, along with the stress it carries with it. And the more oxytocin you release, the less stressed you become. So more cuddling will lead to more stress reduction.
