You would think -- if you're going with stereotypes -- that women are the ones who long to be held and cuddled in bed, and guys would rather, er, do something else. Or anything else. But a new survey finds the opposite is true.

cuddle

Women are more likely to hate cuddling and find excuses to avoid it, while men are more likely to crave a snuggle and pout if they don't get one, according to a survey from bed manufacturer Silentnight, The Daily Mail reported.

According to the survey, one in three women doesn’t like cuddling and half try to avoid it because they are exhausted and want to doze off. One in four said cuddling makes them hot and uncomfortable, and one in 10 confessed that they would rather spend the time on Facebook.

More than a third of women said they stopped cuddling after the honeymoon phase of the relationship wore off, and others said their partner's bad breath has made them skip snuggling. Still, more than half of women said they gave their partner a quick cuddle before bed every night, mostly to make him happy.

As for the dudes, some 36 percent of men said they've actually argued with their partner about a lack of cuddling, as opposed to 26 percent of women who said the same thing. Men are also more likely to cuddle their partner on and off throughout the night -- whether she likes it or not (we've been there). Do you like cuddling?

    Less then Sometimes for me . At this point at night all I want is relaxation and sleep . Cuddled up under my mates arm and on his hard hot chest is uncomfortable. Or spooning is worst cause that means he's trying to have sex which he seems to want everyday all day! I'm a mom and a student . I'm exhausted at night geesh . Sometimes I really hate it. I use to yarn for it but that phase is over after 10 yrs and two kids .. Leave me Alone let me sleep

    I love to cuddle with my hubby! To feel his strong arms wrapped around me, his breath on my neck..... Yes, I'm a woman and we love cuddling but it's our husbands who get more out of cuddling because it's physical intimacy and that's how guys bond- physically! We women can get as much out of an intimate and emotional conversation as we can get out of cuddling. I still love cuddling though.

    I am a tactile type and like to feel. When holding a woman before, during and after making love or whenever, it makes me feel closer to her. I only hope it is reciprocated.

    Cuddling is essential for my sense of well-being. Without it, my mental state definitely begins to degrade. Depression and a loss of concentration in work occur. There is a reason why there is a good woman behind every good man! But why is this a surprise? Men evolved to provide security for women and children and what do you suppose they would want in return? Why a little love, of course.

    The man of today, is basically attacked everywhere he goes! If not by fellow man trying to take over his job, then by feminist in the business feild calling him "sexist!"

    When he comes home, he looks for "approval" from that ONE person who he knows he is not in competition with, his partner and soul mate. He rightly divides that truth she is the one who always stands beside him in life and cannot help but to desire to pull closer in the bed.

    Yes, I do believe Men enjoy to snuggle! :)

    I only answered no because there were only two options. It's like this. It's fine while watching TV or a movie. But late at night when I'm tired, five or ten minutes is enough. Then, hubby can get on his own side of the bed.

    Five or ten minutes still qualifies as cuddling. It doesn't have to be all night to be good.

    Yes, that's what I was saying. Then, he needs to get on his own side of the bed, so we can both get some rest.
