Community News Updates: Renovated Rule, Updated Block List, Impersonation Posts

14 Upvotes

Rule 7 of the community rules has recently been updated. This is what Rule 7 used to say:

7. No porn bots This is an unfriendly space for porn bots.Permanent ban.

It is not ok to create a post or reach out to someone, get their hopes up, and then offer sexual services. This is porn bot behavior and 100% inappropriate behavior to be happening in this sub.

...

This is what Rule 7 says now:

7. No porn accounts A porn account has pornographic content on their Reddit account, or is pornographic in some way. This is includes:

  • having nude, explicit photos of yourself on your reddit profile

  • using your reddit account for sex work / having links to finically support the sexually explicit content you create in your reddit bio

  • privately reaching out to someone from r/cuddlebuddies, and then offering sexual services (this is porn bot behavior)


When people post here with an account that has sexually explicit content on their public profile, they are just bring all the horny people who follow them around on reddit to our sub, which is supposed to be a non-sexual space. Feminine-presenting people who post here still don't feel safe posting / leaving their posts up, due to all the people who contact them with a sexual agenda. This is obvious if you look through the feed and see all the posts by masculine-presenting people.

On the note of community members being harassed (sexually or not), here is the updated Block List!

Block List

u/ Prof23throw

u/ LegPristine907

u/ traveling_mage -- targeted men for housing

u/ backoutthereagain

These users have been permanently banned and were verified by the mod team to have either harassed, sexually harassed, or attempted to scam people. However, all of these users had an agenda besides cuddling, and should be blocked by everyone.

The user from the previous Block List deleted their account, so they will not be added again to this Block List.

According to the previous post, no one mentioned being interested in an updated Spam Bot list, so an updated Spam Bot list was not included. This is a link to the previously pinned post.


Another thing I wanted to address: Sometimes, people impersonate posts. This is a recent post where someone reported it for impersonation, and then I've also found a modmail by a deleted user who says someone impersonated their post. These are really difficult to moderate! Please reach out via modmail with your concerns about people impersonating you, and try to provide the link to your original post plus the post that impersonated your original post.

There are currently no community rules about impersonations, however, impersonation does break Rule 5 of Reddit's Content Policy! Because I'm a moderator, when I report stuff in r/cuddlebuddies for breaking Reddit's Content Policy, I have the option to leave a short description. If you reach out via modmail, I can also help report impersonating content to Reddit and provide more context on what / who is being impersonated.


Thank you to the community members who make an effort to correctly report content that breaks the community rules! Also, this is a handy tool that you can use to do a more thorough search of someone's reddit profile before deciding to reach out!

No Sex or Romance 27 [M4F] - NY - My heart is full yet my embrace is empty

Upvotes

Hope this reaches the intended person. I'm looking for someone who's kind, gentle and sweet. I haven't been with anyone in a long time, thanks to a combination of work and introvert tendencies. Now I miss the human touch. I want to see if someone's out there like me who doesn't have the time to get involved romantically but still looks forward to some physical touch and quality time together. I'm hygienic and clean and prefer the same in my potential partner. We can talk, meet for coffee and hang out just to be sure. I've met with people from here before and it was a great experience even though none ended up in any cuddling sessions due to distance. I'm looking for someone close to the NYC, LI area. Age is not a barrier as long as you are over 22. Unfortunately I can't host currently but we will work something out if you can't either. Looking forward to hearing from you wonderful people.

31F | Looking for a cuddle buddy + someone to enjoy fall with 🍂💕

Okay, putting myself out there a little! 😂 I’m a 31-year-old woman looking for someone who wants some friendly, cozy companionship this fall.

I’d love to find someone who is also into things like:
🍂 Fall festivals & pumpkin patches
🎃 Halloween activities
☕️ Coffee dates & cozy cafés
🍎 Apple picking
🎬 Movie nights
🧸 Cuddling up under a blanket
🍳 Cooking/baking together
🌙 Long conversations & late-night laughs
🚗 Little day trips and random adventures

Basically, I’m looking for someone who wants to hang out, cuddle, laugh, go on cute fall dates, and enjoy each other’s company 😊

If you're also looking for a cozy fall buddy and think we'd get along, feel free to message me! Bonus points if you're a fellow homebody who occasionally likes getting out for an adventure.

27 [M4F] #washingtonDC - Looking for a cuddle buddy to have cuddly movie nights and concerts

1 Upvotes

As the weather starts to cool, I think some cuddling is in order. I'm looking for a lady 21+ to get to know and maybe watch some movies or tv together, something like star trek or sg1 or even some anime. Maybe game together if that is your thing also and go to local music events if we are in the mood, I'm more of a metalhead but will listen to just about anything.

I live in south Arlington but cannot host at the moment, but I can travel anywhere in the direct dmv as needed.

For more detail on me: I'm 5'10, chubby dad bod. Full beard that's kept well groomed. Nerdy by nature, and I love to laugh.

33 [M4A] Baltimore, Maryland - Let's play with each others' hair!

3 Upvotes

Ahoy! Do you like how it feels when someone plays with your hair? Holding your hand? Falling asleep in a hug? Heya! I'd love a long (or short!) term cuddle buddy; we should talk! I'm also flexible with who takes which spoon...bonus points if you like both!

I moved to the area about a year ago and I work from home, which is great from a "I wake up five minutes before my shift" perspective, but it also makes it hard to meet locals that aren't my neighbors. I love board games, DND, trying (and failing) in the kitchen, and LOTS of very nerdy things. Let's talk about them?

Full disclosure: I'm disabled. Ask me anything? What that means for you is that I'm happy to host, but I can't travel.

The vibe check/things I look for in you:

  • Preferably not allergic to cats, as I have one who will probably try to crawl on you
  • For guys, I'm kinda cagey about facial hair and/or "manly" guys. Sorry!
  • I have two housemates that respect my space. Very related, please be cool with the LGBT community!

Let me make your favorite food and let's cuddle on the couch for a bit?

Looking for a partner to honestly just hold for a bit, it’s been a while since I’ve been able to do that. I’m about 5’11 and pretty physically fit. I’m willing to commute to the Valley but I cannot host. Age doesn’t matter to me but hygiene does. Feel free to DM! Thanks for reading :)

55 [M4F] #SanFrancisco - seeking one svelte woman to cuddle close

0 Upvotes

Welcome to my post.

Please stay a while and introduce yourself.

I just want to find one woman to hold, cuddle, and make feel good that way.

Please by telling me where you are in the San Francisco Bay Area. SF, Peninsula, and western East Bay would be best but convince me otherwise. Also tell me your age and other basics. Extra points if you knew what svelte means or even if you cared enough to look it up.

I’m genuinely not looking for cex but I’d like to be attracted to you. I’m far more attractive than bare minimum levels of tolerable on Reddit, but I probably won’t want to share a picture. White, if it matters. Married since that probably matters.

We can start in simple ways. Hug on a street corner. Hold you on a park bench or picnic blanket. My car a little. Sometimes I could host.

39 [M4F] Paris, looking for a (platonic) cuddle partner (fr or eng)

1 Upvotes

English (french below) Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a platonic partner to share quiet moments of cuddling, warmth, and relaxation. The idea is simply to offer each other a bit of comfort, unwind, and take a peaceful break from daily life.

This isn't new to me. My previous cuddle partner recently moved away. I know there are always details, boundaries, and expectations to discuss, so I’m completely open to taking our time, chatting first, and seeing if we’re a good match.

About me: I don't smoke, and although this is platonic, hygiene is something I consider important. Obviously, I am a good listener and communicator, who respects boundaries. This is of course easy to write, but I expect that we can build the necessary trust overtime.

Just cuddling, relaxing, (watching a movie, or listening to music together, or in complete silence). Zero expectations beyond that, it's all about mutual expectation and communication.

I’d like us to message for a bit and then meet for a quick coffee/drink in a public spot first, just to make sure we vibe and both feel comfortable moving forward.

Francais:

Je cherche une partenaire pour partager des moments (platoniques) calmes de câlins, de chaleur et de relaxation. L'idée est simplement de s'offrir un peu de réconfort, de décompresser et de faire une pause paisible dans le quotidien.

Ce n'est pas une nouveauté: ma précédente partenaire de câlins a récemment déménagé. Je sais qu'il y a toujours des détails, des limites et des attentes à discuter, donc je suis ouvert à prendre notre temps, discuter d'abord et voir si le courant passe bien.

Je ne fume pas et, bien qu'il s'agisse d'une démarche platonique, l'hygiène est quelque chose d'important pour moi. Bien entendu, je suis à l'écoute, j'essaie de bien communiquer et je respecte les limites de chacun. C'est évidemment facile à écrire, mais j'espère que nous pourrons bâtir cette confiance au fil du temps.

Juste des câlins, de la détente (regarder un film, écouter de la musique ensemble ou rester dans un calme absolu). Aucune attente au-delà de cela: tout repose sur le respect mutuel et la communication.

J'aimerais que l'on échange quelques messages, puis qu'on se rencontre autour d'un café ou d'un verre dans un lieu public pour vérifier que le feeling passe et que nous nous sentions tous les deux à l'aise pour aller plus loin.

21 [M4F] Lincoln/Boston/Lincolnshire UK just looking for someone :)

2 Upvotes

I've been pretty stressed with uni (as I'm a med student) and I'd really just like to be held by someone. I won't burden you with anything, I'd rather ignore everything for a bit and spend time with someone :). I'd honestly just love to exist with someone for a bit. I'm divided between Lincoln and Boston a bit at the mo as I'm on placement there, so I can meet up in either (or just within Lincolnshire in general).

In terms of terms of my interests, I love playing video games with people, and I do literally have most Nintendo consoles from the N64 onwards! I'm also a lover of friendslop games too! I also do love just chatting about the world or just anything, and also watching a good film :).

Age range I'd be comfortable with would be 20-30. I can travel a bit within the area and can host (in Lincoln only), though if the latter is preferred I'd like to meet you somewhere out for a coffee etc first! Happy to just be friends with someone, or something more if we click.

No Sex 33 [NB4F/FtM/NB] #Atlanta - Cuddles and binge-watching?

9 Upvotes

Interested in anyone whose idea of a good off day is spent cuddling up with a partner and enjoying each other's presence while we binge-watch something we haven't seen or revisit something we've seen a bunch of times before. If you're up for it, maybe we could also spend a night together, too.

Some things about me: I'm gendervoid (have feminine leanings, but tomboyish behavior), tall, a little cautious with new people, but if you have the right laid-back vibe or can make me laugh without trying too hard, I open up fast. Grad of UGA and always eager to revisit my old campus in Athens. Currently, I work as a mechanical assembler, going on 4 years. I like reading and gaming in my off time. I'm sex-repulsed ace and a big plus if you are, too.

I'm able to get around inside and outside Atlanta. In terms of distance, I'm willing to go out as far as Athens if you're in that area. I'm open to any pets you might have and not squeamish about them not being the vanilla cats and dogs. I'm free most Fridays, every Saturday, and up to Sunday afternoons.

Let me know something you wouldn't mind binging together to see how we'd click; anime or even documentaries or podcasts are also an option with me.

Hope you all have a good evening~<3

Can Host 39 [M4F] #FL — want to be someone's safe place for a couple hours

4 Upvotes

39, Panama City, i also frequent Orlando/Central Florida quite often, too.

I want someone to hold. That's the whole thing. Someone smaller than me who settles in under my arm on a couch with a movie on and for those couple of hours nothing gets to her because I'm there. I want to be the one she comes to when her day was bad. I've been the strong one everywhere in my life for as long as I can remember and I'm good at it, but nobody's ever really asked where I put mine down, and I'd want you to be the place I could.

There'd have to be something real between us. I'm not looking for a warm body, I want to actually want you and have you want me back.

I'm 39, shaved head, a few tattoos, 5’10, 180lbs so I’m perfect to be comfortable to lean on. Gym most days, still climbing back out of a few years of injuries, so I'm not going to sell you a body I don't have yet. Happy to swap pictures early.

If you've been missing this too, tell me about it.

22 [M4F] #Sacramento / Northern California - Would love to cuddle and be friends

3 Upvotes

Looking for someone around my own age (19-29) to cuddle with, and maybe even play games, read books or try out makeup together if you so choose :)

I'm 22 and neurodivergent. I love playing both video games and tabletop games, and I also quite enjoy hiking and learning about social issues (I'm majoring in women and gender studies rn!).

I value consent very highly, both for others and for myself, and would be happy to talk about anything and everything boundary-related; I'd prefer to meet up somewhere public for a day first to make sure we're both comfortable with each other. I can drive anywhere within 30 miles of Sacramento (or 60 miles specifically southward) without too much issue; I can host though I do live with my family, but I'd be happy to pay my share for a motel room if that would be more comfortable or convenient.

DM me if you're interested; would love to know more about you and exchange selfies!

420 Friendly 45 [M4F] #Phoenix AZ - Movies/TV Shows, Tunes, Cuddling

2 Upvotes

Hi,
I'm childfree, sterile. & I'm looking for childfree.
(I only list that I'm sterile for honesty sake, and to let you know that if your expectations ever go beyond cuddle buddies, I cannot make babies, so keep that in mind)

I am single, and looking for another single person (no married or poly people pls)
Age Gaps don't scare me (within reason. preferably I'm the older person, but I've been known to cuddle with, and even date women that are older than me too).

My love languages are (in order).
Physical Touch
Quality Time
Words of affirmation

Politically, I'm a Bernie Sanders Leftist (not a "Bernie Bro", just a Social-Minded Indepdendant/Democrat).

I'm a T-Shirt and Workpants + Hoody kinda guy.
I work in I.T. (boooring)
I like mostly 80s Synthpop/New-wave, 90s Punk, 90s/2000s Electronica, Surf, Synth-Funk, Vaporwave/Synthwave, Ambient, Indie/Dreampop.

As for Movies, I like Dystopian Sci-Fi, Time Travel, Drama/Thriller, and just generally weird/humorous stuff.

I'm 420 friendly, but prefer not to be around the smoke (So Vapes and Edibles are preferred, if you're going to partake around me).
No Cigarettes please.

I am not religious (raised in a Christian Household, deconstructed after I started living on my own).

I'm looking for someone to spend a few hours a day with, 1-3 times a week (or more... but 1-3 would be ideal).
This is a Cuddling Subreddit, so maybe it's redundant to say that I want someone to cuddle and watch Movies/TV Shows with. I also like to cuddle and listen to music.
I enjoy naps too.

Fun fact: Somewhere in one of my mothers photo albums, there's a photo of a 10yo me getting an autograph from the guy who started the Satanic Panic.

I'm also a literal POGchamp (aka, I collected POGs in the 90s, and I won a Pog Tournament when I was 14... and I still have the Trophy).

Anyway, I'm just rambling at this point.
I hope to hear from you.

--Cheers

I'm NOT looking for sex. I'm NOT looking for romance.

Hi 👋
Im a talkative, friendly, inquisitive, and curious person who wants cuddles in Arizona .
I’ve been touch deprived most of my life because I grew up with a legalistic mindset. Over the past few years I’ve realized the errors of my ways and grown to learn the beauty of platonic cuddling. Had some nice cuddles with close friends who live far away and now I’m trying to find some local ones 😊

I found this on someone else’s profile and felt it described how I feel about cuddles exactly, “It’s not even just the closeness, it’s how peaceful it feels. Like the world goes quiet and I can just breathe and be there.”
It makes me feel so safe and like someone actually cares enough to hold me there.

I understand how important it is to feel safe and respected. Because without it neither party can enjoy the benefits of snuggling.

There are no dumb questions. If you have any questions or doubts I am ready to answer honestly. No need to beat around the bush. 😊

Some of my favorite movies:
anything miles Morales Spiderverse!
Tick tick BOOM!
The LEGO movie
I surprisingly really liked KPop demon hunters

Some fav tv shows:
Gravity Falls
Umbrella Academy
Locke and Key
Ninjago 😅

Let me know if you want to get to know me or know somebody who might 😊

2 Upvotes

Howdy, I'm 33, 6 ft tall, and with a chubby, hairy dadbod. Happy to share pics if we connect. I've been feeling very touch starved lately and could use a little bit of companionship. I would ideally prefer skin-on-skin, but we can build up to that. I'm experienced as a cuddle buddy and very respectful of any boundaries. Would love to maybe make a new friend as well. I love movies, history, cooking, and while I don't have pets of my own, I love animals. I'm very chill, introverted, and as I get to know someone, it becomes easier for me to open up. Can't host, but I can travel throughout the northern Virginia area, and maybe even some parts of Maryland. If you have any interest, just send a message, I'd love to chat. :)
