Small cuddle parties with friends -- and the rules for Cuddle Party™

🌿 Cuddle Gatherings With Friends 🌿

I’ve decided to change things up a little. Instead of hosting public Snuggle Sundays, I’d like to occasionally open my home for small, invitation-only cuddle gatherings with friends.

I’ve been craving more ways for people I care about to come together—not just to cuddle, but to relax, talk, laugh, rest, and enjoy being around each other. I’d love for these gatherings to be a cozy little place for friendship and community to grow.

We’ll still follow the Cuddle Party™ rules, so consent will be at the heart of everything we do. You can say yes or no to anything, change your mind at any time, ask for what you want, and decide exactly what kind of touch feels good to you.

And cuddling is never required! You can curl up under a blanket, chat with someone, enjoy the company, or simply hang out. There’s no pressure to participate in touch at all.

These won’t be public events or something people can sign up for. They’ll simply be small gatherings of friends and people I personally invite.

I’d love to create more of the kind of community I want in my own life—a place with warmth, affection, friendship, laughter, clear boundaries, and lots of room to just be ourselves. 💚

🪶 Cuddle Party™ Rules — Expanded Edition

1. Sensual, not sexual: pajamas stay on at all times.This space is for connection, comfort, and consent — not sexual activity. Pajamas or comfy clothes help everyone feel safe and equal. The goal is nurturing platonic touch and emotional safety.

2. You never have to cuddle anyone you don’t want to, ever.Consent is the foundation of every interaction. You are free to say no for any reason — or no reason at all — and your “no” will always be honored. Your body and your boundaries belong to you.

3. You must ask permission and receive a verbal “Yes” before you touch anyone.Touch begins with a clear ask and an enthusiastic yes. A nod or silence isn’t enough — we practice explicit consent so no one has to guess what’s okay.

4. If you’re a Yes to an invitation, say “Yes.” If you’re a No, say “No.”Honesty keeps everyone safe. When we answer clearly, we model integrity and make space for authentic connection. Saying no is an act of care.

5. If you’re a Maybe, say “No.”“Maybe” can feel confusing. In this space, we treat it as a gentle no — until or unless it becomes a clear yes. You can always change your mind later.

6. You are encouraged to change your mind.Consent is a living process. You can say yes, then no, or no, then yes. Checking in with your comfort is a strength, not an inconvenience.

7. Respect your relationship boundaries and communicate with your partner(s).If you’re in a relationship, honor the agreements you have outside this event. Be transparent and respectful so everyone stays emotionally safe.

8. Come get a facilitator if there’s a concern, problem, or any assistance you need.Facilitators are here to support you — if something feels off, confusing, or uncomfortable, you don’t have to handle it alone. Just raise a hand or approach quietly.

9. Tears and laughter are both welcome.Touch and connection can bring up big feelings — joy, sadness, tenderness, or release. All emotions are welcome here; there’s no “wrong” way to feel.

10. Respect people’s privacy when sharing about this event.You’re free to talk about your own experience, but don’t share anyone else’s story without permission. This keeps the space sacred, confidential, and trustworthy.
