I was not sure where to post this but has anyone heard about these parties?


A cuddle party is an event designed with the intention of allowing people to experience non-sexual group physical intimacy through cuddling. Cuddle parties are described by organizers as "workshop/social-events" that gives adults an opportunity to "give and receive welcomed affectionate touch in a no-expectation, friendly setting, according to your needs, desires, interests, and boundaries." Cuddle parties are described as non-sexual events but kissing may occur at some parties.


A cuddle party is a group experience, while the one-on-one analog is a cuddlebuddy relationship.

Do they play "spin the bottle" too?


Sounds like a nice name for a swinger or or gy party to me. But that's just my opinion. (always have to make sure you add that...)

From what I saw on the teasers and the pictures here, I am somewhat agreeing with the eeewwww factor
Two Hours of Self-Directed Adventure and Connection


Now it is time for you to to ask for what you want, say yes and no to requests and invitations, cuddle according to your desires and comfort (or just talk if you prefer), connect with fascinating people, "cuddle mingle," and, ultimately, relax into the flow of an unusually playful and respectful social environment.





The socializing and cuddling, like the Welcome Circle, all take place in our cozy environment, enhanced by an eclectic and charming mix of music played at a volume that allows easily for conversation. There are cookies, fruit, munchies, juice and no intoxicants (other than the oxytocin, that is).


Some participants cuddle in groups, others one-on-one, while some like to talk and not cuddle for a time, or not at all. Cuddling can mean feet against feet, full-body hugs, head-rubs, spooning — it is, indeed, up to you. And, configurations and positions shift significantly throughout the event, thanks in part to Rule #6: change your mind & keep yourself happy.


Also throughout the event, the Cuddle Lifeguards participate with you so that you can feel relaxed and supported and have a great time with your experiences.

At the end of the event, after the traditional Puppy Pile (for those wishing to participate in human lasagna), the Cuddle Lifeguards conduct a brief Closing Circle to share with you some closing thoughts for the road, encourage you to bring your learnings with you as you travel forward, and give everyone a chance to share any parting thoughts with the group.


Participants are often in a state of cuddle intoxication at this point, and feeling a sense of connection with the group that they never would have anticipated at the beginning of the event.


Many participants exchange hugs, some exchange phone numbers, and all receive special thank you's from the Cuddle Lifeguards for making this particular Cuddle Party the special event that it was. Some participants may go to a nearbye restaurant or cafe to continue the conversations, while others will head home — often to a night of blissfully relaxing sleep.


Ok, I really have to stop reading about this because it is making me just feel icky thinking about this.....I mean it just seems so creepy and icky to me...
