A growing number of people in the Twin Cities are finding great comfort in Cuddle Parties. It’s a monthly meet-up to better explore communication and boundaries, and yes to touch.
On a bitterly cold Minneapolis night bedding sprawled across the floor warms a living room.
“People sometimes say, ‘Why would I want to go and cuddle with a bunch of people I don’t even know?'†Candessa Hadsall said.

Cuddle Parties are likely to become a haven for sexual predators.
More like teaches gayness.
wait till they start popping up on craigslist
So pathetic and sad.
All of the above. Real men would never participate in such idiocy. If we want physical contact why do we need to go to a party?
Wait till the hordes of Muslim invaders discover them.
Okay. There are a lot of creepy things I can think of, but this ranks pretty high on the list.
I cannot even imagine it. Why does this remind me of the movie “Demolition Man” where they have kiosks set up in public places where people can put money in and have a machine give them positive feedback like: “You’re a good person. People like you. You have many positive qualities...”
This makes me shudder...
Fat women and closeted men

This must be a throwback to the 60s and early 70s when liberal social science professors encouraged their students to attend bonding retreats.
Will they be playing Michael Jackson songs during these “cuddle parties?”
The participants always seem to be the kind of people who lack whatever is necessary to attract cuddling partners on their own. :)
I must say, I was kind of interested in reading the comments section (for humor’s sake, if nothing else) but they wisely didn’t have one.
It would have probably been seen as a source of Microaggression...
Real men only hug each other when they are really drunk!
...and that’s just because we are a bit wobbly and need a human crutch!
Had to look this up. How many facepalms is this worth?

Cuddle parties are described by organizers as “workshop/social-events” that give adults an opportunity to “give and receive welcomed affectionate touch in a no-expectation, friendly setting, according to your needs, desires, interests, and boundaries.” Cuddle parties are described as nonsexual events and commonly kissing is not allowed.[2]
A cuddle party is a group experience, while the one-on-one analog is a cuddlebuddy relationship. However, “cuddle-buddies” are almost always ongoing relationships after being formed from prior relationships (friendship, etc.) Whereas in formal cuddle parties usually each person only has prior bonds with part of the total membership and the membership relationships are often not ongoing (e.g. same group may never meet again or only a few times).
They may be referred to as a “puppy pile party” or “Contact Comfort Gathering”.
Like I told my wife once during a family crisis, I’m a guy, I don’t have feelings.
I do, but in such times, you need to put them aside and save them for later.
Going to some room and cuddling complete strangers after receiving cuddle instructions is just insane and a huge commentary on the state of our nation.
Guys, here’s an idea. Become men again. Find a job, move out of mommy’s house, get your own car, burn the stupid skinny pants, get some callouses on your hands, find a girl, ask her out, marry her. Cuddle all you want.

Reminds me of the recent Quiznos tv commercial that is a parody of a cross of Burning Man and the second Maze Runner movie. At one point there is a cuddle party going on. The Burning Man organizers apparently didn’t like the commercial and want to sue them over it.

Burning Man is nothing but a desert gathering of a bunch of hippies who are trying to stay relevant.
True be dat...lol
The same with most LGBT and feminist freaks. Most are so damn ugly to look at I think I might understand why they had to go that route.
It’s all fun and games till someone farts.
