Cuddle Party – Pictures and video show just what a cuddle party looks like. A bunch of adults that pay to attend a party where people hug, spoon, and cuddle. Hmmm, oddly interesting.
The cuddle party concept was developed by Reid Mihalko and Marcia Baczynski. The pair insist that cuddle parties are more than just an adult pajama party.
Here’s video of a cuddle party that was broadcast on VH1 Scott Baio show.
The official rules of a cuddle party are:
The founders define a cuddle party as, “It is an event for adults to get together and explore affectionate touch and communication without it becoming sexualized. At these events, we create the safe space to talk about and explore what our needs are as adults when it comes to affection, intimacy and welcomed touch. In other words, CUDDLING!”
Cuddle parties are not just some touchy, feely, Southern California thing. This is a worldwide phenomenon. There are cuddle lifeguards, cuddle caddies, and attendees are called cuddle monsters. Weird, I think I’ll leave the cuddling strangers thing to someone else.
And that’s the latest chatter about the phenom called a cuddle party.

This is WAY too strange. It would be great to cuddle sometimes, but I agree,the whole thing of cuddling with strangers is WAY too odd for even me!
