MY BuRPDaY

i was thinking i might have a cuddle party for my birthday later in the year

A Cuddle Party is an event designed with the intention of allowing people to experience non-sexual group physical intimacy through cuddling. Cuddle Parties are described by organizers as "workshop/social-events" that gives 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 non-sexual events but kissing may occur at some parties.[1]

A Cuddle Party is a group experience, while the one-on-one analog is a cuddlebuddy relationship

According to the Cuddle Party web site, the rules of Cuddle Party are as follows:

-Pajamas stay on the whole time.
-You must ask permission and receive a verbal "yes" before you touch anyone. (Be as specific in your request as you can.)
-You don't have to cuddle anyone at a Cuddle Party, ever.
-If you're a yes, say yes. If you're a no, say no.
-If you're a maybe, say no.
-You are encouraged to change your mind from a yes to a no or a no to a yes anytime you want.
-Respect your relationship agreements and communicate with your partner.
-Get your Cuddle Lifeguard On Duty or Cuddle Caddy if you have a question or concern or need assistance with anything during the Cuddle Party.
-Tears and laughter are both welcome.
-Respect people's privacy when sharing about Cuddle Party and do not gossip.
-Arrive on time.
-Be hygienically savvy
