Yup. As I said in another comment, you are not a point mass. The amount of your and her flesh that’s atom-width close is an astronomically small fraction of the total weight, no matter how close you cuddle, and this fraction gets squared because there are 2 bodies. (It’s an integral over two volumes – in layman’s terms, an atom in your hand feels strong (for an atom) attraction to an atom on her hand, but not her head even if your heads also touch.)

Well we need to dive in quantum physics if we are going that deep, no?

Quantum gravity time! (Or each of you could be charged)

If clothing can have 00 sizes then so can anything.
