JAKARTA – Touch is an expression of love. Touch can be done with a variety of non-sexual intimate activities, such as hugging. According to a clinical psychologist, cuddling is related to the release of the hormone oxytocin or the love hormone.

Kim Chronister says that oxytocin lowers adrenaline. When touching and hugging, oxytocin increases so that you and your partner feel a comfortable connection. Because it is very meaningful, you can do various variations of intimate positions as listed below.

1. Leaning your head on your partner's shoulder

Reported by CNN Indonesia, Wednesday, August 11, the first intimate position is called companioning. You must be familiar with the position of leaning your head on your partner's shoulder.

Companioning is essentially the body touching and or leaning. You can sit next to each other, hold hands, and put your feet on top of your partner's feet.

2. Falling asleep on your partner's thighs

Sleeping position resting your head on your partner's thigh-it's equivalent to a romantic scene in a movie. When relaxing, you and your partner can pose comfortably like this.

3. Face hugging

If the companion is leaning on the partner's shoulder, face hugging is even more intimate. When the faces are face to face and the height is equal, then the connection through the eye will stubbornly sneak into the moment alone with a partner.

4. Cuddle face to face in bed

Not only when sitting like face hugging, face-to-face hugging can also be done in bed. To share intimate moments, according to Chronister, this hug position is most commonly done at the beginning of a relationship.

5. Hugs from behind

This position is called spooning, which is the position of hugging your partner from behind. With this position, the stomach meets the back. It can also be in the half spoon position, by hugging your partner from the side when lying down.

6. Legs intertwined

Passing a tired day, closing the day with a partner is a calming, happy, and most comfortable moment. You and your partner can take the intertwined logs position where you lean back or put your head on his chest and intertwine your feet.

7. Leg over

This position is done when sitting next to each other, place your feet on the lap of your partner. Thankfully, you get a soft massage bonus on the feet that have been used for all day activities. You and your partner can share stories with each other to fill those intimate moments.
