Cuddling Question

According to a random website i came across this is why women like to cuddle (it's addressed to men btw): "The act of cuddling releases a hormone called oxytocin, sometimes called the "cuddling hormone.” Oxytocin is responsible for provoking what scientists refer to as “pair bonding,” which means it makes the cuddling couple feel closer and more intimate. This helps to create a bond between a man and a woman. In evolutionary terms, a woman wants to create this pair bond in order to get the man to commit to her and their offspring. Even if your woman isn’t trying to marry you and start bearing your babies, she is likely still drawn to create an emotional bond with you and this kind of physical intimacy is a good way to do it."

Is there anyone in the world who doesn't like cuddling?

I like cuddling. :)

Question: I believe that kissing is not something to participate in casually, just like holding hands in public, kissing means something (at least to me). I've heard it said that cuddling is dating etiquette... that if you're on a date and watching a movie then unless you are completely repulsed (which is probably unlikely) you should cuddle, that cuddling is casual... almost like a hug. Hugs can be exchanged between friends and on first dates and between brothers and sisters. What do you think about that? Is cuddling something reserved for someone you are genuinely interested in pursuing or is it casual first date etiquette?
I am simply curious.
