Feeling down? A lot of people are in this economy. That may be one reason why cuddle parties are big business.
CuddleParty.com started five years ago as a business which hosts parties where people touch each other in a "structured, safe workshop on boundaries, communication, intimacy and affection." Business is booming. "It's a fantastic way to be busy with people," says Len Daley, one of the company's volunteer staff members. He insists, however, that this is not anything close to an orgy. "We take sex off the table."

What a scam they’ve got going:
Daley says Cuddy Party is a non-profit which makes money by training facilitators. It costs $495 for a session to learn basic skills, another $995 for a 10-session teleconference on how to hold a cuddle party effectively, and then $195 a year to stay professionally affiliated with the main website,
Western culture has gone utterly insane.
Hug parties. What’s next?
Another of the many-pronged attack on the traditional family.
Why get married if you can have false intimacy without having to commit and work hard to keep that commitment?
This is highway huggery, er, muggery.
Independent huggers rock!
I say bring BACK the sex!
Looks like an orgy without the sex. Where is the fun in that?
Dunno enough details, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see these advertised as “bring the whole family, kids too.” The more bodies at these parties the more lucrative.
agreed
the west have gone completely nuts.
Hug parties, birthday parties for the dog and bring the neighborhood dogs for the party along with dress up, men dressing as women who think they are lesbians, etc etc
the list is endless with this crap.
How about not telling kids they failed in school anymore because they will get upset.
Not like anyone should ever fail now
ARF
The sooner we get back to common sense the better, the left who drive this really are dumb .
Going out on a limb here but... staunch Obama supporters?
Looks like a Mensa meeting to me. (At their regional events they actually wear a red, yellow or green sticker to announce whether they want or need to be asked for a hug.)
Yea,Like I’d be caught dead cuddling with Jennifer Aniston!
I’m sure Michael Jackson had a lot of “cuddle” parties too.
“We take sex off the table.”
...and put it back on the recliner where it belongs!
LOL!
Hey..knock off the critique on the Doggie parties!
My dog Lola had a birthday party when she was 8 yrs old..it was an outdoor neighborhood party and very family oriented. It was lots of fun and everyone enjoyed it...we had a carrot cake ( so each doggie could have a bite). Lola’s boyfriend, Spot tried to lunge the birthday cake.
It was an inexpensive, fun filled time....and NO Sex!
