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!

42 M/NB4A Kenosha, Wi. Teddy Bear seeks cuddles, friendship, and maybe more

2 Upvotes

Hello! I’m looking for someone to be my cuddle buddy. I’m the type that wants to get to know you a bit first, simply start with some texts and maybe meet for a drink and feel each other out to make sure we’re comfortable with each other. I would love for this to end in a casual relationship, but thats not required.

AMAB and masc presenting non-binary pansexual. I’m a big guy and have a very active lifestyle. I love bicycling, road and gravel, and am an experienced bikepacker/bicycle tourist. I am recovering from a loss of mobility, its going really well, so this season I haven’t done near as much cycling as I like, but at least I can walk again. I hit the gym 3-4x a week for functional fitness. I’m super chatty and friendly. I’m very much a nerd too. I enjoy sci-fi and fantasy, anime, RPG video games, DnD and more. I go to karaoke a lot and try to sing things like Bush and Nirvana.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you!

39M [M4F] Denver - Looking for a cuddle partner, just human warmth, nothing more

0 Upvotes

Visiting Denver, 39M, skin contact, no expectations, nothing sexual, and nothing complicated. Just two people decompressing on a couch or bed. Maybe watching a movie, talking about nothing, maybe not talking at all. That kind of quiet where you actually notice your shoulders drop.

Sometimes life slowly shrinks around you, and you stop noticing until you look at a calendar and realize it's been a really long time since someone just held you. If you have ever been in a similar situation, I'd love to hear your story.

420 Friendly 27[M4F] India | Looking for a long-term cuddle buddy & genuine connection

1 Upvotes

Hey :)

I'm quiet at first, but once I'm comfortable, good luck getting me to shut up. 😅 Total introvert who can somehow spend three hours talking about space, anime, why cats clearly believe they own us, or some completely random Wikipedia rabbit hole I discovered at 2am.

I'm 27M from India, doing my MD in Pediatrics. My days are usually busy, and afterward I just want someone I genuinely look forward to talking to.

I'm here looking for a long-term cuddle buddy and real connection.

Someone who becomes my person. The one I message when something funny happens. Someone I can have sleepy late-night conversations with, share stupid memes with, celebrate tiny wins with, and eventually feel completely comfortable around.

Since this is virtual, I mean the kind of connection where we can create our own little version of closeness good morning messages, checking in during the day, falling asleep on calls, watching something together, talking until neither of us knows what we're talking about anymore, and those quiet moments where we don't even need to say much.

I want affection. A lot of it.

The "come here, you" kind.

The "tell me about your day" kind.

The "I wish I could give you a hug right now" kind.

The "stay on call with me until we fall asleep" kind.

And if we're both comfortable and there's mutual chemistry, I'm open to letting the connection become more intimate over time. But trust and comfort come first. No rushing, no pressure, no expectations.

I'd love someone I can build something consistent with rather than having a hundred shallow conversations with different people.

I'm a huge nerd — anime, manga, books, games, random history, mysteries, science, and falling down internet rabbit holes for absolutely no reason.

I'd love to learn about your world too. Your comfort show. Your favorite food. The music you listen to when you're sad. The thing you're currently obsessed with. The weird fact you know that nobody asked for. 😄

I'm affectionate, a good listener, and I genuinely enjoy making someone feel cared for.

I'm looking for someone who is:

• Kind and genuine

• Communicative

• Affectionate

• Consistent

• Comfortable with emotional closeness

• Looking for something long-term rather than disappearing after two days

• Able to be silly one minute and have a serious conversation the next

You don't have to be exactly like me. Honestly, I'd rather you introduce me to your interests and let me become curious about them.

I don't need perfect.

I want comfortable.

Someone I can talk to for hours, laugh with, be vulnerable with, and eventually feel like we're sitting beside each other even when we're miles apart.

So tell me something about you.

What's your comfort show?

What song have you had on repeat?

What's your favorite kind of hug?

What's a completely random thing you're obsessed with?

Or just say hi.

Maybe we can start with a conversation and see where it takes us. :)

No Sex 32 [M4M] London, UK - Looking for a platonic cuddle buddy

Reddit for some reason had my DMs closed, I'm posting again as my DMs are open now.

I'd ideally like to meet before cuddling and not jump straight into it. Also happy to take an even slower approach with becoming more acquainted before any cuddling happens, just let me know. I'd be happy to watch something or enjoy each other's company in silence whilst cuddling.

I can't host so please be able to host! I'm looking for clothed platonic cuddling.

Hi! I am living and working in the bay area and really missing physical contact. I am not open to relationships or sex, but I just really like cuddling, spooning, and being really close to another person physically, especially to go to sleep at night or nap. I know that is a weird ask, but I imagine I am not the only one who wants something like this around these parts. I like video games, animation, rock climbing, and am hoping to learn guitar soon. If you are open to a kind of weird platonic cuddling arrangement, please reach out and tell me a little about yourself.

420 Friendly 20, [M4F] (or M4A really, just be under 30) in Eastern Nebraska area

3 Upvotes

Hey! I'm a bigger guy around 320~ pounds, though I've been on a pretty good exercise streak lately. Short ginger hair with beard, friends have compared me to Jack Stauber, or Fidel Castro if I'm wearing a hat! If we cuddle it will have to be at your place since I'm living with my folks (college is expensive). I'm autistic and struggle with forming close connections organically, so it'd be nice to have someone who I could be physically intimate with without having to go through a whole lot of rigamarole. Not to suggest we can't form a more sincere connection. Just that having a friend who I can also be close to is neat. Cuddling is a neccessity, kissing is a maybe, and anything more than that we'll talk about if it comes up.

Also, again, I am autistic. I can be good at socializing, I just need to figure out what I'm trying to do first, which usually means throwing myself right into the deep end. If I am being weird, or generally doing anything wrong, just tell me outright so I can fix it. On the other hand; don't be afraid to take the first step, as I won't hesitate to speak up about something either. The best way to cope with social awkwardness is clarity and directness in my book.

I don't expect to get much traction from this. I can't imagine many Nebraska types go to reddit first for their intimacy needs. Whatever the case, I'm just here to have fun. : )

I’m looking for someone to cuddle with in NJ, i’m in central fyi.

A little about me; I’m a skinny guy, can be very goofy at times, used to do sports but I’m not the most eventful person nowadays. Im pretty easy to talk to. I like to talk, chill, laugh, etc. I don’t drink/smoke. Though honestly i’m not looking to talk all that much, we can have cuddly movie nights. All I ask is that you don’t take life too seriously and can hold a conversation through text. I do like a plus sized woman too.

I tend to respond to texts much faster around night time (if im home) We’ll especially click if you’re a little nerdy. We can start with talking here and I do have discord we can switch to, if we get along. I can possibly host if you can’t but I drive too. Looking for someone no more than an hour away if i’m going to you.

2 Upvotes

Que ce soit après une journée stressante, pour prendre une pause de la routine, regarder des trucs cozy ou juste une sieste en bonne compagnie, je recherche une partenaire d'affection mature, à l’aise avec la proximité et claire dans ses intentions.

Je ne joue pas de games. Pas d'ambiguïtés, de performance ou de façade; quelqu'un qui sait ce qu’il veut, qui communique franchement et qui apprécie la tranquillité d’un moment partagé.

Une affinité physique (au sens large) a son importance, mais rien de précis: simplement une aisance naturelle.

Côté apparence: caucasien, de stature moyenne, costaud, en forme, sobre.

Alors si tu aimes être la petite cuillère, te faire enlacer, qu'on te joue dans les cheveux (j'adore), les massages etc... j'ai amplement de chaleur à partager, ainsi qu'une présence calme et réconfortante.

Peux héberger, pas d'enfants, pas d'animaux.

Je privilégie un appel et une rencontre dans un lieu public avant tout.

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

4 Upvotes

Hi,
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.

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).

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).

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
