Cuddling is blanket-agnostic, but requires a partner.

Snuggling can be done solo or with others, but requires a blanket.

I'd argue that snuggling doesn't require a blanket specifically, however some form of snuggling medium is required.

For instance, one can be snuggled up in a cushy comfy couch, a child can be snuggled up in it's mother's arms, a cat may snuggle in your lap or under your sweater.

Interesting thought, I would have to agree , a medium is likely required for snuggling

[-] avguser@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Whether or not nap happens, maybe.

Cuddle is like, holding each other while watching a movie.

Snuggle is like, trying to become physically one with the other. Like attempting to merge into them.

[-] Octospider@lemm.ee 2 points 2 weeks ago

merge into them.

Wait - I thought that was sex.

I snuggle with my kids on cold days to keep them warm.

I cuddle with your wife on cold days to stay warm.

"You don't snuggle with Max Power! You strap yourself in and feel the G's!"

Vs.

"If you think I'm cuddly

And you want my comp'ny

Come on wifey let me know!"

Little spoon versus big spoon

[-] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Cuddling is being the big spoon, snuggling is being the small spoon.

Cuddling is holding someone. Snuggling is burrowing into them.

If you don't know the difference, you should get more cuddles and snuggles. Love is all you need my friend.
