NEW YORK (Reuters) - It's not about sex and all about the touchy-feely experience of snuggling up to perfect strangers wearing pajamas.
The grab fests are called cuddle parties, and since they started in New York in February, hundreds of people have paid $30 each to touch and embrace others in intimate gatherings.
Everyone needs to be cuddled, especially in lonely New York, say creators Reid Mihalko and Marcia Baczynski who say it's a good way to meet new and interesting people.

The croquettes are always bugging me to do this...
"An introduction to cuddling ensues, first by hugging three people. People then get in a circle on their hands and knees, rub shoulders and moo like cows. After a bit of swaying, everyone falls to their side, which puts them into an easy cuddling position."
blink blink....
And now, for something cuddly PING...
Okie dokie. What'll they think of next??
As Baptists, we used to joke that premarital sex was against the rules because the church was afraid a dance would break out. (Ok, I know, crude humor, but hey!)
Thanks for the ping Sarge!

These people are ready to be beamed up to the Hale-Bopp Comet.

*scratches head*
At least it's not anything similar to any of my horrible dating experiences.
OMG! Have they been watching too much of the Huggabunch reruns?
LOL! I'm a southern Baptist myself. That sounds about right.
This is the most pathetic thing I have heard this week. Even for my nutty, wonderful city this is a new low. These people must be the saddest, most pathetic bunch of losers to ever crawl out from under a rock. They dont need a cuddle they need a swift kick in the butt and a life.
What ever happend to hanging out with your friends or family? Or just going to going to a bar and getting drunk?
uuuuuuhhh...ping
For some reason, I just can't see myself doing this.
LOL!
Being smack in the middle of Southern Baptist country,
that's *got* to be one of the funniest things I've ever read!
