Cuddling can improve communication and intimacy: Cuddling can help create a sense of closeness and connection with another person, which can improve communication and intimacy in relationships.
Cuddling can improve physical and mental health: Cuddling has been shown to have a number of physical and mental health benefits, including improving sleep, reducing blood pressure, and boosting the immune system. So cuddling not only feels good, but it can also be good for your overall health and well-being.
