The Cuddle Sutra
Description
Cuddling is more intimate than a candlelit dinner, more than a joint tax return and yes, even more than sex. With the simple act of an embrace, two people can be joined together in such an intense bond that words no longer serve a purpose. The cuddle says it all. The Cuddle Sutra is an all-encompassing resource for the act of cuddling, filled with detailed descriptions and illustrations of all the ways to express affection, whether you're in the privacy of your own bedroom or walking down Main Street. Includes 50 cuddle positions, fully illustrated, for such locales as: --Snuggling in the bedroom --Kanoodling on the couch --Hand-Dancing --Enchanting Embraces And much, much more!

Chapter 3: Walking with My Baby: Hand Holds and Embraces

Do not be fooled by their simplicity-these are powerfully emotional acts. You may be surprised at the infinite number of ways two people can manage to walk and be in love at the same time.
