Is it normal to like cuddling over sex?

I've always enjoyed just cuddling with someone I'm in love with more than having sex. I'm a lesbian, so I don't know if that changes anyone's opinion on this, but I was cuddling with one of my camp counselors (who I had really strong feelings for) one evening over the summer and gazing into her eyes and the thought occurred to me that, had the attraction been mutual and she offered to have sex with me, I'd turn it down just so I could keep cuddling with her- that was honestly how happy I was. Is it normal to feel like this?

    I think all that proves is that you prefer love over desire. Which is adorable (:

      Same (I'm a bisexual boy). I don't have a very high sex drive and cuddling feels more intimate, showing someone that you love them, not their body.

    Now, on the SCIENTIFIC side, your body is releasing a special chemical after sexual activity. Your brain has what is called oxytocin, sometimes known as the "cuddle hormone" to many. This gives you the need or overwealming tired desire to hold, and relax, as well as the brain's trying to relax after the peak of sexual activity...

    So, yes, I like to do the same and I thought I was alone in this. People wonder why relationships after sex doesnt last. Its because there needs to be the gentle connection between two spirits in the heart not the genitals. You are speaking of a great example in this. Please do not think that this is bad, your stronger than any other to openly notice this...

  • That seems romantice. She know you are into her? Did you tell her how you feel? I just saying I think she'd get the vibe.

    it's normal...for many girls. If anything the lesbian element works to your advantage since I don't know many straight boys who feel this way. That is not to say they don't like cuddling...but...it's not quite the same

    I love cuddling! I love to spoon in bed it's so comforting. I can just gaze in my honeys eyes and gently touch his fingertips and feel like I'm in heaven.

    I'm a straight guy, but I'd rather have a good cuddle up with someone I really loved than sex with them. Never REALLY had either, so I'm not sure if that puts me in a good place to comment or a bad place. Cuddles are good ^_^
