Do you like cuddling?

[Volitar]

I got a body pillow for Xmas, forever alone cuddling here I come!

[vindicatorx]

No, I hate it pretty much

[obdigore]

Do I hate cuddling? No.

Do I want to cuddle at all times? No.

Apparently its complicated.

[PizzaSHARK]

She's always doing that, hehe.

Damned kids... no wonder my nephews and nieces can always guilt trip me into giving them crap.

It's a perfectly healthy biological function! Or so I'm told.

Was going to edit this in earlier but you replied fast: well, my strongest memory of being hugged comes from a highly unpleasant incident around 6-7ish, maybe just gave me an averse association with hugging that expanded over the years. Self-psychoanalysis!

I was actually going to reply to this and say it does make you weird since all mammals are kind of encoded to enjoy pleasurable physical contact (inb4 perverts). But, now knowing that an event has changed this for you, all I can say is that sucks. Just keep on keepin on then!

I didn't really read it as not being able to enjoy it, just being... wary? of it.

Pervs!
But yeah, I do enjoy pleasurable physical contact... wait, are we still talking about hugging? >_>

My feeling regarding hugging is actually pretty well expressed in that webcomic I linked earlier:

Yes, because it always leads to other things...

[semaphore]

It's just I don't really get why a girl in school uniform would be on the floor in the fetal position?

Maybe she has a bellyache? Or she's plotting her revenge because the cake was a lie? Or maybe she's re-enacting Honey's scene.

I don't know, but I think linking something that's just cute like that to "recently been violated" is lot weirder.

Oh, right. The turning things into stone thing.

Okay, fine, we're all a bunch of illiterate pigs.

Hey that was a great play

Though I guess to be fair Taiga was essentially designed to a legal loli.

[PizzaSHARK]

I always win in the end.


On the topic of cuddling, I really am surprised by the results of the poll. Considering this is MMO-C, I'd have expected more fear of intimacy

I can't it's that surprising, honestly. I wouldn't say I get the impression people here are afraid of intimacy, they're afraid of rejection.

I think we're more like heavy shortage of available intimacy. Not like MMO-C is filled with stereotypical macho bikers or something like that.

[semaphore]

I don't know what that is

A loli? Prey for lolicons.

It's almost as if some topics have a middle-ground. Well now I just don't know what to believe in anymore.

Must be a golden mean fallacy! Burn that heretical obdigore I say.

[PizzaSHARK]

I don't know what that is

You don't know what loli refers to?

Obviously the solution is to curl into a fetal ball and think about it.

It's not so much a "fear of intimacy" as it is a "not liking my shit touched when I am resting" lol

[semaphore]

Sure I do. It's obviously a prey for "lolicons". You're not tricking me with your tricky tricks.
I don't know weaboo things, assume from context it's sexual and not worth googling.

As an aside it came from Vladimir Nabokov's great novel Lolita. The book's plot is as disturbing as the name it has forever ruined implies.

Also I'm totally not a weeaboo!

Yeah, it's basically "(implied/intended) statutory rape" sexual.

Pff, not fair! I had to do paperwork!

But yeah, I haven't watched many Japanese cartoons in the past six or seven years, but I seem to remember loli being uncomfortably common. I don't know how to interpret that, though.

From my understanding, a weaboo is just a white girl who is very much in to all things Japanese. But now I feel as if that definition might not be correct from the sexual context lol

I think the term is just used to describe someone (nearly always white) who is really into Japan, not just their cartoons but, like... everything Japanese. I think the Japanese call those kinds of people otaku, but I'm not sure.

There's one chick on Youtube in particular who I'd probably use as the example of what a weeaboo is.
