A Look Inside Local Cuddle Parties
PHILADELPHIA (CBS 3) ― In today's non-stop rush to get here and there, maneuvering through a crowd of hundreds and in and out of lines of traffic, some people worry that they are losing touch with each other. Now as CBS 3's Mary Stoker-Smith reports there's a way to really reach out and touch somebody else. You can do it a cuddle party.
A Cuddle Party may look like a pajama party for grown-ups. It's fun but there are rules. The number one rule, pajamas stay on the whole time. This is a non-sexual event.
Okay, now that we have that out of the way you may ask yourself, what's a cuddle party?
"This is a way of framing touch in a positive way," says cuddle party facilitator Edie Weinstein-Moser.
Edie says the parties which are held around the country and in our area are meant to help people achieve better intimacy, and communication. And it allows people to express themselves in a comfortable and safe environment.
There's snuggling, nuzzling and even spooning. But not everyone's ready for a group hug right away since you may not know everyone. So to get comfortable there are a few steps to start with.
The first step, whether you're with a partner or by yourself, is to sit and chat in a welcome circle. You hear the rules which include asking permission and getting a verbal yes before you touch anybody. And if everyone agrees to all of the rules, the cuddling begins.
"I love experiencing the feelings that come up when you connect with each individual person," said cuddle party-goer Linda Hunter at a recent Phoenixville party.
"Day to day life can get isolating so it's nice to have something to break out of that pattern," says Eric Merlino, another cuddle guest.
For Eric Hunter, "I have finally completely overcome my social anxiety that I had for decades."
Cuddle parties last for about 3 hours and pajamas and stuffed animals are optional.
"These folks enjoyed themselves, they tell me they leave feeling lighter emotionally and physically," said Edie. "You can't help but smile being around this."
And who doesn't love a good hug once in a while?

Bull .
Every guy there is trying to get some ass.
This did not deliver as expected.
why the would anyone go to that
Bunch of pervs here! Who wouldn't go for a good cuddle about now?
, my friends and I end up doing this whenever we get together anyway. Someone always ends up curled up against someone else...Usually me, because I'm squishy.
sorry but with posts like this, you're just asking for people to make gay jokes., my friends and I end up doing this whenever we get together anyway. Someone always ends up curled up against someone else...
Filled with ugly, fat people.
I better sign up.
Yeah, see, the thing is, some people on this forum are going to make gay jokes about me regardless of what I post, so it's a waste of time on that level, plus, frankly, I don't give a beyond it being tired, annoying, and old.
Cowboys have been calling cuddle partys "dancing" and the "two step" for years. And you guys think we aren't socially progressive!
uh...okay?
If I wanted to CUDDLE, I'd stay home with my wife.
So are you gay or fat or both?
From the website FAQ:
Since Cuddle Parties are safe spaces for adults to explore and practice affectionate touch without sexualizing it, and since the state of arousal is natural for us human beings, it's no surprise that erections sometimes do occur. Our goal is not to teach men how not to get erections. Instead, we want to make normal functions and needs of human beings seem, well, "normal."
We strive not only to free people of the awkwardness surrounding arousal, but to allow them to develop some real coordination around it. At a Cuddle Party, erections become Mother Nature's way of giving us the thumbs-up sign. Nothing's wrong. Nothing's dirty. Nothing's suspect. And as long as you're not dry humping anyone (Rule #7), it's completely okay. Really.
This is great if you toss in some 13 year olds.
For those whose minds are not permenantly infixed in a sexual state of arousal, it sounds like a pretty decent idea.
In a society which is progressively becoming ego-centric, it's nice to see people attempting to achieve a sense of community. Physical touch from other peers can be very beneficial to the health and well being of the individual.
Sounds like you are tired of jerking off.
what straight guy can spoon a girl and not sprout wood ? I know it says pants must stay on but it didn't say anything about something tearing out of your pants
non sexual should be in the le.
And i wonder what happens when there's "spooning", and the guy pops a boner.
As I posted above, this was in their FAQ

You guys are funny. You're putting way too much personal context into the situation.
Would I go to a cuddle party? No.
But what about someone who doesn't have constant interaction with others. It might not be such a bad idea.
Then again...
Idon't know about other dudes but when I have a boner for too long I get a little dizzy
