Is it normal to snuggle with dad

72% Normal

Alright, I'm wondering what everyone thinks of my situation. First of all I am a 20 year old, heterosexual male, calling me gay would be a validation of stupidity. I like women, I find them attractive and crave their company.

Moving on.

When I was 2 my parents were divorced. My mom remarried when I was 5 and my biological father and I had a strained relationship. My stepfather legally adopted me at 19 and has really raised me. I am really close to my "dad" and love spending time with him. I'm also very physically affectionate. (Everyone and anyone can have a hug.) I workout, can fix anything and am pretty manly, touch is just how I show affection.

Here's the rub. I still really enjoy snuggling up next to my dad. Sometimes early in the morning or late at night I'll be in my parents room (a hub in our home) (yes I still live at home - that's a work in progress) and I'll snuggle up next to my dad in bed. Not to sleep or anything and not in a sexual way. I'll just lay next to him with my head on his shoulder. Occasionally when watching TV on the couch I'll also sit next to him with my head on his shoulder or chest. I don't know why, but it just makes me feel comfortable and safe. I'm highly independent and capable, my parents do very little for me. I've got a decent job and am saving for an apartment, and I have 18ish months left before I'll have my masters degree, but sometimes I just get overwhelmed or a little insecure and being physically close to my dad makes me feel better. My dad always seems to know what to do or say to calm nerves or solve problems - being close to him lets me know that no matter what I'm safe and cared for and that he'll help give me whatever wisdom I need to get through it.

Is it normal to still want/have that physical interaction?

Sounds like a loving connection between a father and a son, which is good.

Seems like a very supportive father, and one we would all be lucky to have. Enjoy the little comforts in life, as we get so few.

Nothing wrong with it. My parents divorced when I was young and when I would go to my dads i would sleep in bed with him. We would snuggle\spoon! I loved it! WE both would get turned on too

I can not say i snuggled up to my dad at 20---but I did thru high school--if we were travelling and slept in the same bed--and sometimes I would get in bed with my dad if he was alone in his bed and we snuggled up---I would have been embarrassed if my friends ahd known---but we were really close---and I liked doing it and so did he--we never discussed it at all--it just sort of came naturally from childhood---It was nev er at all sexual in any way---I guess it was just proof we really liked our father/son realtionship alot---I could always tell him anything and not be embarrassed

Your love language is Physical touch and quality time by the sounds of it. The other three are, Acts of Service, Gifts, and Words of Affirmation. Of the 5, the two I said fit you to a tee. Nothing with it mate.

Bit weird. It's nice to know you have a good relationship with your step-father, but what you've just described sounds very girly.

That's because, no matter how old you get, you're still his child.
