And according to body language expert Tonya Reiman, your go-to cuddle position reveals a lot about your relationship. (I cuddle in all of these positions though I feel like)
- Lying face to face with your partner - Cuddling face to face is a sign of a very intimate relationship. In long-term couples, it shows they’re still very much in love, and with new couples it shows they’re really into each other. This position lets you keep eye contact and share a moment of trust and vulnerability.
- Spooning with your partner - Reitman says this cuddle position shows feelings of strong communication, affection, and satisfaction. It’s more common in long-term relationships, but with new couples it shows they’re comfortable with each other already. Being close, like when you’re spooning, also releases dopamine, a chemical that increases sexual desire.
- Resting your head on your partner's chest - "Lying head to chest is a display of dominance and submission in the same way it is a demonstration of trust, affection, and love," Reiman says. A woman will rest her head on the chest of someone she trusts and it gives her partner the chance to wrap their arm around her, making her feel protected.
