The importance of cuddles cannot be overstated. Cuddles=BEST THING. Almost on par with ice cream.
*squints* Nope, can't see it... cuddles = superior to any and all (comfort) food stuffs available to mankind. You can't get sick from too many cuddles!

I enjoy it sure but I don't really find it nessessary to be honest. Sure its a fair part of a lot of relationships but then again its also a way of making money so there is a bit of dissonance on the subject.
If you want to do it lots go for it, if you don't then don't. Not going to judge a person on their preference.
Personally, I could never really enjoy a one night stand so I avoided them after the first one.
Me and my current girl do it once a week, sometimes once a forthnight, and to be honest thats all I really want on the sexual end of the relationship. We've been dating for 3 years so we're kind of over the whole "rabbit time" so to speak.
I'm way more of a cuddly person and so is she (thank you God) so if I had to choose I'd rather have cuddles than sex.
I agree with everything written therein... 'cept I'm single, and during the last long-term relationship, the frequency of sex yoyo'd a fair bit from a couple times a day to not having any for about two months...
The emotional bond within a cuddle/hug is borderline unsurpassable (IMO), and one can lead to the other, which is never a bad thing... so, sex without a substantial emotional connection holds little value to me, is about it...
