The following presented with tongue firmly in cheek...

      Why snuggling is more important to women than men

Well, since men have a higher surface temperature then women (this
has been checked out empirically -- most men are warmer than I am)
women who snuggled stayed warmer at night, avoided colds, and 
generally had an evolutionary advantage over women who didn't.
Unfortunately, many men simply rolled away so in frustration women
started wrapping the covers around themselves, using all the covers
to make a cocoon. At this point, men suddenly had a reason to snuggle;
it's real hard (like topologically impossible) to wrap all the 
covers around you when you are being held.  But the bottom line is
that women snuggle to GET something (warmth) while men snuggle to
AVOID something (no covers)....
