I think “horny cuddles” as you describe count as foreplay not cuddling. Look at all the levels of intimacy we are discovering LOL.
Cuddles, sex, more cuddles, this is the way.
Currently in a situation where I can't cuddle, along with many other things, and that's the worst can't of them all. >

I think cuddling is a wonderful addition to sex >

I'll be totally honest, for me sex is a wonderful addition to cuddles. Sometimes. I'll do cuddles any day any time and sometimes in between cuddles I would also like to add sex to it. >

I find cuddling more intimate than sex tbh. >

People will go fuck random strangers. How many people will cuddle random strangers (without fucking first)? >

Both, both is good. Especially when is cuddles -> sex -> cuddles. Like a dopamine sandwich >

Is it an either/or question? Sex is great. Horny cuddles with a lot of grinding on each other, kissing, ear bites, which may or may not lead to sex is great. “Normal” I-Just-Want-Physical-Contact-cuddles is also great. Ok maybe I just like physical intimacy very much.
