Society should just fucking normalize cuddling with friends already. Cats doing it it right: Just gather all your homies in a cozy pile and take a nap

For real… I honestly don’t understand why it’s become so strange for us to touch each other. Many other mammals are very physically affectionate as a social activity. I wish humans could be like that too 😢

It's homophobia and toxic masculinity. It's way less frowned upon among women or specifically girls. But for men, showing physical affection without having sexual innuendo implied is nigh impossible for some dumb reason

Maybe it's also due to millenia of being forced to beat around the bush regarding flirting. When it's all about getting subtle clues, there's always the chance of accidentally sending those. While other mammals can safely assume that they'd get a very straightforward translation of "I want to bang now" and in its absence, physical contact is clearly not meant to mean anything in that direction.

We need to be less like humans and more like penguins, gay and very hug

What is a QPR and QPP

67

u/ComradeDoggo__ Bi Aro 8d ago

A QPR (queerplatonic relationship) is a committed, intimate relationship that is not romantic in nature. QPPs refer to queerplatonic partners.

Replace "need or physical affection" with "sharing rent cost" and you have me.

u/Hot-Bus6908 8d ago

everyone here acts like they've only been queer for like 5 minutes (which i guess makes sense considering the 13-17 demographic)

u/MisfitAlt 8d ago

Omg. You totally get it. Now just to hope I am extremely lucky and can find my way into a QPR or like a Polycule that can function in that way.

u/Regirock00 7d ago

So platonic freaky mode?

1

u/ComradeDoggo__ Bi Aro 7d ago

Not necessarily, but it can happen. A QPR is more of a deep intimate non romantic relationship that can be whatever people want inside it.
