Came in here thinking it was going to be a nearly grown ass boy and his father, on which case yeah that'd be concerning regardless of sex.

But a little kid like that? Nothing wrong with that. Kids need affection, and that isn't a mother only thing.

Edit: Oh lol, didn't read look at it properly. I personally am not that cuddly with with either of my parents, there shouldn't be shame if it's platonic. Fuck the "Men can't be affectionate" mentality. Let me say it again FUCK THE "MEN CAN'T BE AFFECTIONATE" MENTALITY!

I don't cuddle with my father but I have cuddled with dudes.

One time a guy was cockblocking me and pulled the "Well you can cuddle with me" card.

A minute later:

"I think your head is on my dick."
"I'm comfortable."

If it's not sexual then there's nothing wrong with it. I think some people associate any and all intimacy with sexuality for some reason

Because damn near the only time people show any intimacy is either during sex/foreplay or in events that lead up to sex/foreplay.

Its why so many people view nudity as sexual, because the only context they were raised to view it as okay to be naked was during intimacy with their partner. So it isn't surprising that people view an intimate act as purely sexual

My babies are my babies. I've seen them naked too much for my liking but now they are older I will not be denied getting my kissys from them. Both are girls though, I don't know how I'd be with a son. But I struck out at 3 for 3 girls, my other two brothers have the perfect set of 1 girl one boy in that order.

Well yeah it comes down to upbringing, but I think there's levels of it. Like some people think kissing their parents on the cheek is going too far and just give their dads handshakes or something

and then you have some cultures where they kiss everybody

I thought it was weird at first, but looking at that pic. It's not that big of a deal. They are just chilling next to eachother. It would be like whining that a friend or loved one is leaning on your shoulder.

Women show intimacy all the time. Society days men "aren't allowed" to though. It's why women hug each other all the time where as men don't do it anywhere near as often. Even though hugs are totally rad and doesn't have to be sexual at all.

Also can we address that last comment. That whole "Female family members slap each other asses, how would that look if the men did it?".

Two things.

1. Men on sports teams seem to do this in the locker room in certain(apparently non sexual?) context.

Which leads me to...

2. Why the fuck are people slapping each other on the ass in the first place if it isn't sexual? I never got that. At all.

pic is disingenuous implying its only men reinforcing the double standard its criticizing
especially when we talkin about a demographic where involved dads are not anywhere near as common as the single moms passing on THEIR values...

there are good single moms, but not all single moms are good by default and they can still pass a bunch of their bullshit beliefs too conditioning their kids into habits of "toxic masculinity"

ain't no source of misinformation that hits closer to home than IN the home

That's a very vague form of cuddling. I wouldn't even say it applies. But do what you want anyway. Im not gonna push my issues of intimacy on others. I just seen my dad for the first time in like 2-3 years and we live like 2 miles away from each other.

i feel like theres a gradual age limit. when they're kids, like, who cares. but as they get older i feel like it should be less and less, probably stopping somewhere around 11 or so?

Cause in the photo it isn't necessarily a full on cuddle, more resting against his father's chest

I thought topic meant spooning.

Laying next to each other is normal as fuck. No homo, I still do this even with my friends.

Must be nice. Having a father in your life. Having a positive and emotionally welcoming male figure in your life.
