Is it normal to cuddle with a friend of the same sex?

A little bit of background info: My friend and I (both 19 and male) have known each other for 4 years and we've been the closest of friends since the beggining. I'm also really close friends with his younger brother (13 years old), to the point where I treat him like my younger brother. They're both closer than my real brother and I've always enjoyed spending time with them and it always makes my day to spend some time with them. My brother has autism which makes my life at home seem lonely and quiet, as my parents have to spend extra time/effort to support and care for him.

So I've been 'cuddling' with my friend for a while usually whenever we meet up, we hug in public and we cuddle on the couch whenever we spend the afternoon at another friends house. And whenever we stay the night at each others house, I always spoon him or his brother (with no sexual intention) for warmth and comfort as it just makes me feel wanted and Makes me feel like someone cares for me. I'm always the big spoon and I usually wrap my arm around them and rest my hand on his stomach. They are both fine with the whole cuddling thing as they know how I feel at home. I really enjoy being with both my friend and his bro, and I feel that the only wau I can really express that is by hugging/cuddling them. I have zero sexual intentions for them but would this count as a gay thing for a guy to cuddle/spoon their friend of the same sex?

    Is it normal as in the norm? maybe not. but over the past year I have made several guy friends who have quickly became my best friends, I cuddle with them sometimes, not quite to the level you described, but one friend in-particular, cuddles with me quite often, I was sitting his on bed with my sister watching a movie (she is his gf) and he sat in-front of my and laid down on me. it felt really good I'm not gonna lie. I love him like a brother, but I have no romantic or sexual intentions for him at all.

    While this gave me a boner (I know, unnecessary information :P), you basically answered your own question. It's not gay unless you "want" it to be. If there is no sexual and/or romantic intention behind it, it's not to be considered gay.

    However, many people would probably still call it gay because they are ignorant.

      It's totally 100% gay. Calling something what it clearly is, is not ignorant lol. 2 guys sleeping next to one another and "hugging and cuddling" is completely gay.

        "Homosexuality (from ancient Greek ὁμός, meaning "same", and Latin sexus, meaning "sex") is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between members of the same sex or gender." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality

        Since OP said that it's without sexual (and romantic) intention, at least on his side, it's not gay.
