Cuddles

Cuddles refer to the act of holding or embracing someone or something in a gentle, warm way, often for comfort or affection. It usually involves close physical contact, such as hugging or snuggling, and can occur between people, animals, or even with soft objects like blankets. Cuddling releases oxytocin, the hormone linked to bonding and stress reduction, promoting feelings of safety and connection. It’s a natural way to express love, reassurance, or companionship, enhancing emotional well-being for both parties involved.
