This video introduces three cuddle positions we consider “beginner positions.” That is, cuddling positions or activities that are so simple, so non-threatening, they’re easy to try even with someone you might not know very well. These are great cuddling activities to engage in on your first cuddle, or your first cuddle with a new partner.

It’s wonderful how varied human touch can be! It can be playful, intimate, communicative or introspective, passive and subdued or active and engaging, serious or silly. And all of it can heal, can nurture, can help us become more human.
