Welcome to (western)society, where we sexualised physical affection. Hurray! /s

I wish i could cuddle with my friends without quite literally itching all around my body.

Different cultural influences can exist in the same country. Go to germany, then to france and afterwards to the USA and you will have big cultural differences but also cultural similarities. Would you not say that certain affectionate acts as cuddling and kissing have a weird sexual energy to them in the west? Maybe its a german thing after all.

It just doesn't make sense to describe the Western society as doing something when the topic seems to be specifically about differences inside the Western culture.
