    I wonder if cuddling virtually in VR has an effect too, because it’s a super popular activity, and it still kinda feels good and you sometimes can trick yourself into feeling touch sensations when you see someone rub your virtual face or arm in the same place where your real arm is if that makes sense.

      I sometimes feel the same (but weaker) as cuddling by watching or listening to cuddle asmr. So yea, in VR, when it’s a real person that is actually interacting with you, it would probably feel nice too.

        Yeah it definitely feels nice that’s for sure 😄 I was caught off guard the first time one of my friends rubbed my cheek instead of the usual head pat and I was like wait I felt something 😳

        I’m totally gonna turn into a virtual cuddle slut aren’t I lmao

      Can confirm it feels nice. You don’t get any of the physical sensation of course, but you do get a lot of the symbolic feelings. Like, “it’s nice sharing this intimate moment with you”.

      If it’s someone you have feelings for, it’s pretty nice. If you do it with pretty much anyone then it’s more just a nice comforting feeling.

      Side-by-side, it doesn’t compare to the real thing, but when you live far apart, it’s nice to get any closeness you can find.

        Only problem is I grew up in a mosquito plagued land, so now they all avoid me out of respect for my time off at war and exclusively go after anyone else I’m with. I do have good reflexes though, so as long as you’re down with the odd slap to “kill a mosquito ;)” we should be just fine.

          Don’t threaten me with a good time!

          Sis, honestly, you’re perfect!

          I’m actually looking for someone like you irl: a sporty mommy that will make me work out and will go camping with me.

          Someone will be very lucky when they find you! (Assuming you’re not aroace lmao)

    I actually don’t know what I’m into more, a short queen who I could just put in my pocket, or a tall Amazon gf to help me reach the top shelf
