cuddle buddy
Cozy embrace companion
A cuddle buddy is someone you regularly cuddle with, typically without romantic commitment or sexual involvement.
The arrangement satisfies the desire for physical affection and comfort outside a traditional relationship: We're not dating—he's just my cuddle buddy.
The term emerged alongside hookup culture as a way to name platonic physical intimacy.
