"The concept of the Cuddle Party was created and launched in New York city in early 2004 by Marcia Baczynski and Reid Mihalko, two counselors and sensualists who wanted to create safe spaces for adults to be physically affectionate without the pressures of sex. Due to the popularity of their cuddle sessions, the duo began training facilitators to spread the party across America. Now for only $700 dollars anyone can fly to New York and learn how to tell strangers not to have sex together in computer labs."

Funny.

Hi There!

I like the idea of cuddle parties, and I absolutely LOVE the idea that cuddling and touching doesn't necessarily have to lead up to full-on hot sweaty shagging.

But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that it's really nothing more than a neutered orgy, and I feel that orgies should be ENCOURAGED, rather than forbidden. :(

Every guy at a cuddle party is trying to disguise a boner anyway.

Hi There!

Yeah, but the FAQ says that boners are okay, just dry-humping that's disallowed.


It actually doesn't sound that bad to me, the more I think about it.

I saw Cuddle Parties featured on Penn&Teller's Bullshit series. (Life coaches are Bullshit!) Hilarious and CREEPY!!

Hmm, I wonder if this is a way to get around that pesky 4 foot lapdance rule.

I'd have rather seen Dan Savage do that Stranger article.

Oh right, not sexual.
