What is a synonym for hug?

Answer 1

It's an embrace that lasts longer than a simple hug. Cuddling is generally done in a supine manner on a bed or a couch, rather than hugs which are performed when both people are standing upright. It can involve hugging, long periods of skin contact, hair mussing or stroking, and other things.

Cuddling is usually performed for comfort or as a way to show affection. In North American culture, cuddling generally happens most frequently between family members like parents and children or siblings, between romantic partners, or between very close friends, almost always female. Male cuddling is common in some cultures but in North America most forms of physical contact between male friends are associated with homosexuality and are exceedingly uncommon.
