Well, I’m aro-spec ace, and I love cuddling and hugs and platonic kisses on the cheeks, forehead, pecks on the lips, back of my hand, holding hands, etc., so long as I know that it’s literally all platonic and there are no romantic nor sexual feelings on the other person’s part, because if there were I’d become uncomfortable being around them, let alone touching. I’m lucky that a lot of my close friends are also of this mindset and enjoy expressing totally platonic friendship in this way too. Unlucky because we live on opposite ends of the country now.
