The heading isn’t a joke, this is really about a cuddle party! In case you don’t know what that is, it’s a place you go to cuddle people, like whoever else has decided to go to the party, most likely total strangers. It really is about cuddling, you aren’t supposed to snake your hands up anybody’s shirt or down their pants and definitely no humping or grinding. When I went, the first hour was devoted to a lecture on consent, which included letting us know that we didn’t have to cuddle with anyone we didn’t want to do it with, or even cuddle anyone at all.
