Posted: 1/15/2008 4:44:25 PM | I personally am not into group hugs. Sorry, I would find this very uncomfortable.
If I am going to be spooning with someone I am going to be getting all the other things that go along with it.. I am also not going to let a bunch of strangers be touching me.
To me this reeks of a craving need of human contact.. I thank god, I have enough friends that if I need a hug, I will go up to them and ask for one.
I also sleep more in boxers and tee shirt. not the most modest thing in the world to cuddle with strangers with..
Well those are my thoughts on the matter.
Now in a relationship I am a cuddler from the get go. | |

Posted: 1/15/2008 10:06:59 PM | I heard about it and saw it on the news a few years back and it sounds as dumb now as it did then. It sounds like a bunch of people who never got hugged enough as a child invented this Cuddle party.
It sounds as lame as lame can get. No offense to anyone but I think a person who would go to one of these "parties" has some serious issues that need to be addressed. I mean c'mon! A snuggle party? Get together with a bunch of people that are obviously isolated and alone and they crave affection so bad they are willing to go to a public cuddle party? Anyone who craves this kind of attention needs help.
A couple chasing each other around like a cat and dog? What, was their bedroom occupied at the time? They just couldn't find a place alone to chase each other around like a cat and a dog so they decided to go to a cuddle party to do it? They don't need a cuddle party to go to, they need to be on Jerry Springer.
Someone earlier used a strip club analogy and actually I'd rather go to a strip club. I could go to a cuddle party and then have to explain why all of a sudden there's a big lump up against her ass or go to a strip club where I can see some boobs and vag and not have anyone get "freaked out" about getting a hard on. Plus, at the strip club I can have some drinks and play a game of pool.
But in todays light and fluffy world, I guess everybody needs a opportunity to get a hug. I wonder when the first lawsuit of sexual harrassment will come after someone gets a booby rub at a snuggle party. | |

Posted: 1/16/2008 1:32:35 AM | | I've heard of this. I don't really see myself as being up for it. As much as I like the cuddling, I don't necessary want to be cuddled by strangers or 'icky people.' I'm generally pretty happy to meet women who enjoy cuddling. | |

Rule # 2 - You don't have to cuddle anyone at a Cuddle Party, ever.
What a stupid rule. Why would you go to a cuddle party if you don't wanna cuddle. Hahahaha. | |

No sex, no nudity, no touching privates and no doing anything that is not explicitly granted by the other person involved. 25-40 people congregate on mats, futons or blankets, with pillows, and hug, cuddle, spoon, talk, stroke, massage, brush hair, exchange ideas, laugh, play.
What kind of sick mind would come up with such a retarded ritual?

Damn idiots calling people hippies... Besides, we did our cuddle parties naked...
You tell em Duckman_2 and coming from what I will 'assume' is personal experience no less...much respect, hat's off to you.
I was just thinking of the many times (though not always) that I slept with a girl or woman 'nekkid' and never did anything beyond kissing and cuddling... Yet even with that personal experience, knowing it is not only possible, but enjoyable, I know there are many on POF that simply cannot believe that two members of the opposite sex can be naked, holding each other without doing more. And yes I got an erection, I am a guy and our bodies were pressed together, duh. It might not have been as fun as doing more, but it was certainly better than doing nothing and/or going home alone.
So a cuddle party, where everyone had on pajamas, not only can I see that, but come on, what's the big deal. They covered it on a news and/or reality TV show, no one hugs anyone that they 'don't want to, period, end of discussion.
Well, I once had a cuddle buddy (strictly platonic) and no one understood it.
And they never will, no point in altering 'very healthy and wholesome' behavior because someone else is uptight or morally confused about it. If isn't right for them, by all means they should not join in, but because it's not right for you, doesn't mean it’s not okay for others. (Who are they to judge?)
Probably a good place to find a potential partner (not during the event, that would be unseemly) that does not have 'intimacy' issues. Nothing worse then marrying someone just to find out they are a 'cold' fish after the ring, ceremony and paper...that is 'morally' wrong in my book.
...Too many things popping up for me.
If it were to happen, most people at the event would probably take it as a compliment anyway. When did a 'natural' healthy occurrence become 'unwholesome' and ‘wrong’? I would suggest how a person handles the situation (an erection due to some stimulus) is what makes it okay or wrong, not the naturally occurring erection.
Having enjoyed a couple of nude beaches, I can state first hand that there were many, many reasons to get erections on that beach, but it simply did not happen. And if it did, I would have headed down to the cold water 'out of embarrassment' as that is not the time or place for that.
The true naturalist would not expect someone to have a 'hard on' just at the site of a nude body. I thought it would happen too, but I was just fine, no problems. And it was always a wonderful experience. BTW, you don't have 'sex' on a nude beach or in public at a naturalist type of event, as that would simply be rude. A person who would selfishly parade a sex act in front of others without permission, would be considered rude, obnoxious and most likely asked to leave and told not to come back, ever.
Again there is a time and a place, such an event is not it. Even my red neck friends have more class than that! Granted many of my red neck friends would not participate either…just wouldn’t be for them…that’s okay, I would respect their choice (friend or not)! Funny thing, is while they wouldn't do it, they wouldn't condemn me either for wanting too. Guess that is what makes them 'open-minded' and friends! | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 1:43:18 PM | | I just saw an episode of Scott Baoi (sp?) 45 and Single, in which his life coach encouraged him to go to a cuddle party. I thought it was a great idea. I told a few friends and some seem to like the idea, though the few guys I mentioned it to seem to think it's would turn into some kind of orgy. I'm glad someone started a thread on the subject, and if anyone knows of one taking place in my general area, give me a heads up, as I'd love to go! Hmm.. ::sidebar:: maybe I will mention it in the Sask forums and see if anyone else is up for it... | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 3:34:00 PM | These parties are also refered to as exstacy parties. Only, without the exstacy. Kinda' takes the fun right out of it.
I'd try it out. I'm open to new things. Hell, nothing is forcing my snuggle slut and I to stay there.
I just hope they respect me in the morning and not think of me as some cuddle whore who only wants one thing. | |

Posted: 5/16/2008 4:11:09 PM | | I have heard of it, several years ago, and I had thought the phenomenon dropped of the radar. Evidently people still do it. Sounds interesting and I might do it, but it would be really hard for me, and I am sure for some others, to keep it at cuddling if we were attracted to one another. I actually heard some of these groups did dissolve because people were going 'too far'? | |

The closest to being comfortable in cuddling with multiple people would be me using this emoticon on internet forums.  | |

First rule of cuddle club. You never talk about cuddle club! HAHAHAHAHA!
I see no attraction to the idea at all. I'm with those who need their personal space when it comes to strangers. The whole joy of spooning another person is that it's deliciously, sensuously intimate...so the cuddle party version would be a poor substitute.
If they're that hard up for a non-intimate cuddle, they should get themselves a dog. Never known a dog to decline the opportunity to get on a bed and have a cuddle. Although I can almost guarantee that the hair brushing will not be reciprocated. | |
