cuddlers
Those who embrace
Cuddlers are people who cuddle—who hold others close in an affectionate embrace.
The word usually describes people inclined toward physical affection: He's not much of a cuddler.
Professional cuddlers offer platonic touch services for clients seeking human contact without sexual intimacy.
