How do you feel about snuggle/cuddle time?

Most of the time I love it, but like others have said, there's time when I just need a teensy bit of personal space.

What do you define it as?

Most of the time for us it's just snuggling up close while we sleep or lay in bed. Other times it's him resting his head on me or vice versa or simply holding hands while watching tv.

Does it have to lead to something else?

Nope, doesn't "have" to although quite often I've noticed that what starts as hand holding while laying in the bed progresses to running fingers up and down my arm, moving on to my nipples, and...well you get the idea. *grins*

How much snuggle time do you feel is important?

A lot. We're practically joined at the hip when we're not working so we don't lack in the snuggling department. :-)

Do you enjoy it?

Love it.

Do you feel it's importance is gender based?

Like a lot of women I guess, I've grown up with the assumption that women generally like snuggling more than men, but I'm usually the first to separate when I'm needing that personal space bubble back.

Do you feel it's importance is role (Dom/Sub) based?

Not sure, but I will say that, back when my dom and I were having a lot of scenes, I definitely "needed" more of the snuggling and cuddling. Now that we don't scene as much, it's much more of a want than a need in my opinion.
