I'm a female Sagittarian, so I don't know if my viewpoints will help any since there's a distinct difference between male and female display of emotion, but I'll offer you my two cents anyway:

It is true that Sagittarians need a lot of freedom, no doubt. We do have a tendency to rebel when we feel the walls closing in on us, so to speak - may these be emotional or physical walls. But it's wrong of others to interpret that as indifference or lack of interest on our part (even though it's an understandable conclusion to draw). Sagittarians can be VERY cuddly. I'm like a kitten when I'm in love and I know my Scorpio boyfriend appreciates that. But there are times (not too often I think, but on occasion), when I just cannot bare to be held, kissed, touched, "pinned down", hold hands, exchange little pecks on the cheek, stare into his eyes for minutes on end, etc. I can't really reveal why this happens, because I don't understand it myself - but it's not about us not wanting our partners. It's about us needing to be by ourselves. Which may sound like two sides of the same coin, but it's really not.

When my Scorp boyfriend was courting me, he wasn't so much couring me as he was chasing me around like a leo after its prey (pun intented - he's got Leo rising). He was very very intense about it, and for this reason alone, I kept him at an arm lengths distance for quite some time. We got greatly along as friends, and we've proven to be the most compatible of lovers, but at the time, with the intensity of his emotions and all of his demands (which he craved of me long before I was ready to give it) I certainly felt claustrophobic and just wanted to run far away.

You may wonder now how this has anything to do with physical affection? Don't worry, I do have a point to all of this: When we feel that our relationship with our partner is based on equality, friendship and harmonious wishes, we can be surprisingly loyal and steadfast, sensuous and loving. But whenever we feel that too much responsibility and demands are placed upon us, we start to choke in no time.

Not sure how all of this translates, but I hope it offered a little bit of insight? :-)

i'm a sagg. with strangly the opposite, gemini moon and taurus rising.
i like to cuddle allot! but there are some times when i feel i need alittle breathing room. like when watching television together i like to be held, and such but too much affection can be annoying. And the more affection in public thing could be because us saggs sometimes like to show off our partners. As if to say, "yeah, this is what i have and you can't". sorry if i cant be of much help, i dont date saggs much. i only dated one and it ended up a huge mess. but good luck!

Yay, here's to magenta loving a sag! WE all need it, especially us sag's! I am a very cuddly sagittarian, just haven't been doing much cuddling of late. My astrology says next year is my big year for love and romance! :^) Can't wait much longer...but as the White Stripes say, "I'm lonely but I ain't that lonely yet!"

I'm a sag, and much more cuddly now than I used to be . . . I used to be very "hands off me" and got uncomfortable with physical closeness . . . now I'm very tactile, WAY too much for my Leo partner . . . but I now like physical affection from everyone! Hugs all around!
