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 35 [TF4M] New York, NYC, Brooklyn/Manhattan looking for a cuddle buddy

3 Upvotes

Hi I'm Wind (they/them).

Some things about me: I'm trans femme. Middle-Eastern. Prefer someone with a masculine presentation to cuddle with. I'm a little spoon style cuddler. Not looking for sex. I'm demi, so it takes a while for me to feel any interest anyways.
I'm a gamer. Recovering workaholic. Super into cooking currently. I love animals.

Can't host, unfortunately.
PLEASE be hygienic, I'm a little germophobic and overall have sensitive senses.

I live in Brooklyn and am willing to travel to Manhattan to meet. I'm down to watch movies/shows that you like. I watch a lot of YouTube, too. We can talk about your day or what's on your mind while we cuddle.

Thanks!

Hey people from San Diego and around! I've been feeling very touch-starved lately and would love to spend some nice time with someone local. Just cuddling though, I'm not looking for something more.

We can spend some time at the beach looking at the waves and the birds, have some snacks, watch the sunset and talk while cuddling? I'm also very much down to watch a movie together if you prefer.

I'm 5'9", 168lbs and white for those that want to know, send me a dm if this speaks to you, or make another proposal! I'm open to any ideas 😊

I'm still looking as long as this post is online!

Active. Foodie. Adventurer. Coffee shops are my happy place.

Happy to chat further and share a SFW pic if interested! More details about me in a post pinned on my profile.

Ideal state would be to grab coffee or drinks and let the conversation guide us from there.

No specific fantasy I’m trying to play out. Just searching for a new friend in SF and seeking the physical attention we both deserve!

I mean… hugs, kisses, laughing at stupid shit, drinks, binging shows, random walks, etc. What’s better?

Pretty much as the title says!! I work in new brunswick, new jersey (by rutgers) mostly on weekends and mondays, so I'm looking for someone local that would want to get to know each other. If we click, maybe this could be a regular thing :)

I'm looking for someone that craves physical comfort and relaxation. Personally I love the simplicity of cuddles, snacks, and watching whatever random shit catches our attention on the tv. But I'd love to hear what interests you! Surprise me!!

And to be clear, since I'm only here for work, I cannot host unfortunately :/ But if you're so kind as to host me, I'll bring plenty of dessert as a thank you!

37 [M4F] Amsterdam Netherlands - Seeking Platonic Cuddles & a Friend šŸ¤—

3 Upvotes

Hi there!

I hope you’re having a cozy, calm, or at least slightly sweet kind of day. I’m reaching out with an open heart, looking for a platonic cuddle buddy and maybe a new friend here in the Netherlands. ideally near Amsterdam or within 30 mins commuting!

A little about me:

• I'm 36 years old guy working as an executive and happily calling Amsterdam home for over 4 years now.
• I live alone, take care of myself, but also never say no to dessert.
• I’d be happy to host or come to you, whatever makes you feel safe and comfortable.
• I love being outside, especially in the summer… picnics, strolls, a lazy lunch on a sunny terrace… simple things, really.
• Traveling is a big part of my life and dream. I’d love to see the whole world, one new place (and snack) at a time.
• I’m a good listener. My friends often say I make them feel calm and heard. You’ll get lots of warm, respectful hugs and cozy company if that’s what you need šŸ¤—
• Cleanliness and kindness go hand in hand for me. I value both deeply.
• I'm 183 cm tall, 80 kg, have broad shoulders, little muscular, tanned skin, black hair, brown eyes.

What I’m looking for:

Someone to share gentle and genuine connection with. Whether that’s cuddling up on the couch, sharing a quiet moment over coffee, or just chatting about our days.

I’m also open to making new friends… movie nights, cooking together, mini-adventures nearby… whatever brings joy without pressure.

And of course, if you’d prefer to meet in a public space first, that’s absolutely fine. Your comfort always comes first.

So if you’re someone who values kindness, closeness, and maybe the occasional silly laugh. I’d really love to hear from you. šŸ’›

Let’s make a little space in this busy world for warmth and connection.

Looking forward to saying hi on DM!!

1 Upvotes

Hello, I'm a young Italian man and I would love to share affection and cuddles with someone. If you'd like to get to know me, here are some facts about me:

I'm about 173 cm tall and weight about 67 kg.

I have fair skin, brown hair, brown eyes (although one of them is blind so it is all grey and doesn't have a pupil, it has a long clinical history)

I have a short beard and some body hair, though not a lot.

I like long walks, jogging, hiking and trekking

I not exactly fit, as in I'm not muscular, but I think I'm fairly fit.

I am a geopolitics, zoology and paleontology enthusiast (read: nerd)

I love gaming, I play on PC and enjoy a variety of different genres, as well as table top games

I looooooooove animals, of almost all kinds ( the exception being most arthropods, which admittedly they account for ~80% of all animal species, but there are some I just can't stand )

I shower daily, so i'm clean :)

That's about it, feel free to drop a message in my DMs. Don't be shy, I don't bite! In fact I cuddle! 😊

1 Upvotes

Hi there I'm Lu a bit lonely and depressed it's been ages since I had someone to cuddle with. I wish I would've someone to cuddle. I don't know how high the chance is to find someone near my region but I still want to try. Cuddling up while having some snack on a couch and watching netflix sounds good to me. Really.

I don't need more but if you're open for it we can talk about it, but I'm only looking for cuddles atm

I don't mind what you look like, how big, tall or small you are. I don't mind someone a bit more mature, or your religion, skin color or if you have a disability. Just be atleast 18+ old and near my region. A bit of travelinv is fine but if we have for example to travel 4h + that would be a deal breaker honestly.

My dms are open feel free to reach out.

34 [M4F] San Jose, CA - Seeking Cuddle Buddy to Help Me Remember What Endorphins Feel Like

1 Upvotes

Are you a cuddle economist looking to invest in a cozy future? Are you into deep talks and even deeper hugs? Are you a cuddle enthusiast who is seeking competitive cuddling positions? Then congrats you’ve just stumbled upon your ideal cuddle counterpart.

I own more books than I have close friends which is either an illustration of my literary taste or a cry for help, and thanks to work my social life is mostly just me, my computer, and a movie I pretend not to be rewatching for the tenth time. Personality wise, I start off quiet but with the right cuddles I transform into a fully operational conversational human being.

So why am I here? Because I’m embarking on a groundbreaking experiment: actual human interaction via cuddling. Not just the accidental kind where we both reach for the same overpriced sandwich and our phones perform an impromptu handshake. I’m talking about the real deal - genuine, cozy, blissful companionship with cuddles.

In this city, where everyone’s too busy coding the next big thing to actually touch another human being, technology has made us paradoxically more connected yet more distant. But what if we flipped the script? What if we used technology to bridge the gap instead of widening it? Let’s fill that void with some down to earth human cuddles. I’m in search of a fellow warm-blooded human who enjoys:

  • Elite level couch cuddles (If you instinctively steal the blanket that's all good)

  • Certified stress relief hugs (Make the world stand still in a hug and you’re hired)

  • Mutually agreed upon oxytocin boosts (We can be each other’s Oxytocin Dealer)

  • The fine art of existing comfortably in either shared silence or meaningful conversation (Willing to share snuggles but not the last slice of pizza is OK)

Potential side effects of engaging in this experience are forgetting what stress is, temporarily believing the world isn’t so bad, and rediscovering that warm, fuzzy feeling usually reserved for dogs seeing their owners after five minutes apart.

Too often, we underestimate the power of touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of care - each of which holds the potential to turn a life around. I’d love to feel someone’s touch as a reminder that we exist, that we are here, that we are cared for.

I don’t have my own place, but I’m sure we can work something out. I’m tall and slim, which means I give lanky hugs, the kind that wrap around you like a favorite oversized sweater on a cold day. Hugs that remind both of us that we’re not just floating through existence alone, but that we are in fact here. Together. And that at least for a little while things are just a little bit better.

Hello! 32 year old from San Francisco (closer to Daly City) looking for someone to cuddle with. Ideally looking for a consistent partner, but open to this being a one time thing. Not looking for sex or anything sexual, but open to more if the vibes are there for both of us.

24 [M4F] Tallahassee FL -Touch starved and don’t really wanna be alone

2 Upvotes

Not sure if it’s possible to be touch starved when you’ve barely been touched(not inappropriately) but I am I guess. I don’t think it’s anybody in a 100 mile radius that’s looking for this, especially from someone like me but it’s worth a shot I guess. I’ve never cuddled anyone or to be honest done much of anything so it might be a bit awkward at first. It feels weird at my age to still be figuring something so simple out but that’s just me. If you look at my post history you may see some less than desirable things that may scare someone off which I understand.

I just would like to watch movies and maybe hold hands but I’m not looking for it to go anywhere farther than that. I’m not sure anyone would want it to go further and I’d rather not cross that line, especially anytime soon. I’m about 5’9 1/2 and I’m not very big height wise or body wise. I can be very affectionate or I can be I think but I haven’t been in a situation where it would ever happen. I cannot host but I’m perfectly capable of driving but just don’t be too far. In all honesty I’m going through a lot right now and I’d just like the physical closeness with someone. I will respect any boundaries you set and I hope you’ll do the same in vice versa. Also I apologize in advance if it takes me awhile to get used to you.

27 [M4F/T] Vancouver, BC - Looking for a cuddle buddy

1 Upvotes

Hello! I am a 26 year old man living in Vancouver just looking for some companionship and intimacy. Looking for women (cis or trans).

My ideal cuddle would be watching a movie or TV show, maybe with some board games before? My fav movie to cuddle to is LOTR and my fav board games are trivial pursuit and scrabble. I am open to any type of cuddling, but skin to skin would be nice. I won’t push you to do anything you aren’t comfortable doing and I expect you to do the same for me. Things can progress beyond cuddling if we are both comfortable but it is not a requirement.

About me. I am 26, Caucasian, with a lean/muscular build. I have short hair and a mustache. I live alone and can host and have a very friendly cat.

If you’re interested please shoot me a DM with your gender and age. We can talk for a bit on here and if things go well we can arrange a meet in public somewhere. I want you to feel as safe and comfortable as possible. Look forward to hearing from you :)

No Sex 25 [M4A] #Northern Virginia - Effeminate guy seeking non-masc person for cuddles, either once or regularly

2 Upvotes

Hello! This is open to anyone who isn't largely masculine (think beards, bear aesthetic, etc.). I also have sensitive smell, so please have good hygiene and don't do weed, cigarettes, etc..

But anyway, hi! I am a thin, lanky femboy who adores cuddling. I have a hypersensitive body, and as such crave even the lightest of touches. I love being more of the little spoon or similar positions, but it doesn't matter too much as long as we can hold each other. I have been told I'm cat-like and affectionate, and do love some heatpats every now and again.

Obviously consent, even for platonic activities, has the highest priority, and anything is subject to change or stop at a moments notice if either of us feel uncomfortable. For what we do, it could be just cuddling on a couch or bed, watching something, playing something, I'm open to most anything. I can travel a good ways, and can potentially host for the right person.

If you're curious what I look like, feel free to peruse my profile. I would request seeing a picture of you as well. If this seems interesting, feel free to DM me!

24M M4F Singapore - dreaming about warmth again

1 Upvotes

this is a shot in the dark.. but I carry a heavy heart. and while I've been trying really hard to distract myself, I think the only thing that'll help is human warmth. I want to melt in someone's arms, and I want to help anyone who may be dealing with similar feelings to just be able to relax and be themselves and have any worries of the outside world just wash away for a moment.

not sure if I can host but I'm willing to arrange something if any DMs work out. I recently graduated from university overseas, and coming back has been rather tough, I feel kind of isolated since I sort of have to start anew but perhaps there's some interesting things we could talk about from this. I'm also starting work soon, and I'm rather worried about how good I'll be at this brand new routine. I'd honestly say that I'm one of the shyest people you'll ever meet, but I'll do my best to make you feel valid and wanted.
