How a cuddle party works
A party runs four or five hours at a soft, gradual pace: rules, a circle of introductions, exercises that help you feel your own intentions, then the free part, then a closing circle. Nobody is touched without being asked first.
Frequently asked questions
What is a cuddle party?
Besides hugging, sitting side by side, massages, cuddling and dancing, it is also about exploring yourself: learning to refuse and to accept refusals, feeling what you want and what you don’t want, accepting and offering care. It is fun, and it is an adventure.
What is a cuddle party, in fullWait, no sexual overtones?
Yep. A cuddle party is meant for tenderness, care and playfulness. Arousal is a great thing, and it is good that we can experience it. Here we ask you not to develop it, but to contain it and pick up a different mood for interaction.
Why there is no sexual interactionWhat are your rules?
The essentials are active consent (ask out loud and wait for a response), non-sexualized contact, care for the space and each other — “I” statements, no labelling or unsolicited advice — and sober participation. Recommendations for getting the most from a session are on the rules page.
Rules in detailDoes everyone just come and hug right from the start?
Nope. That would cause anxiety instead of enjoyment. We start softly, so people can arrive in their bodies before the free part begins.
