My cuddles are now world famous?

Cuddle Parties are sweeping the nation. In fact, this planet-healing
movement to get healthy, non-sexual touch in a safe environment -
is starting to get a lot of international press.

Somehow, when Marie Claire magazine came to report on a
Cuddle Party, I happened to find myself in the middle of it all - literally!

I'd love to read the article to!

The thought of just cuddling is fabulous. I'm female, enjoy sexual intimacy with males, yet also I love my male gay friends. I can easily get lots of cuddles knowing that it's not going to lead to anything more. Any physical touch is great for the soul - whether it's from your partner, a friend, even a massage therapist ... touch (in a non-sexual way) 'heals' the body in so many ways!

Wonder when 'cuddle parties' will start up in the UK!?!

Wow-not sure what to think. It SOUNDS like a good idea but somehow also seems JUST a little weird. I wasn't able to read the article either but will investigate the topic further.I would think this type of limited physical contact would be frustrating for you boys...;-)

i somehow feel that people feel lonely and cuddlying is just a quick fix that takes them nowhere. Real cuddlying is of the soul and not for the body. Antything else is cheap thrills!!!!!!

As a massage therapist and now acupuncturist, I know that touch is really important. My suggestion is to get a bunch of open minded seniors in a room together for a great big cuddle pary. A much nicer image than sitting around in a wheelchair in a nursing home, isolated and alone. I think pet therapy is a type of cuddle party.

I touch people in my current work environment and get the very occasional hug. As a single and abstinate woman with a handicapped, non-touching child at home I see a massage therapist bi-weekly. Hugs of a non-sexual nature would be nice in between--and would be most welcomed. I have been involved in large group settings where boundaries were pushed and rules placed for appropriate, therapeutic touch and it was an awesome (literally God-inspiring) feeling.
