Reach Out and Cuddle Someone
When was the last time you leaned your body up against a complete stranger’s? Though handshakes and even hugs are okay, we live in a society that shuns too much touch. Unless you are dating or married and still touching, we tend to shy away from any “inappropriate” and “unnecessary” contact. Not anymore. The newest evening events (and a more direct way to enjoy physical contact) are cuddle parties.
Apparently this new touching trend is catching on across the country, as well as in Melbourne, Toronto, and London. No, orgies aren’t making a comeback. A Cuddle Party has structure, rules, and even a referee to ensure that no funny business takes place. They are considered to be workshops, where attendees are encouraged to experiment with communication, affection, and controlled, non-sexual intimacy in a safe, drug- and alcohol-free environment.
Some swear that the parties have increased their esteem, restored their belief in humanity, and even helped them to lose weight! But even if the pounds don’t naturally peel themselves off, guests, at the very least, leave having had a new experience, a good time, and a dose of healthy touch. cuddleparty.com
