A cuddle party or cuddle puddle is an event designed with the intention of allowing people to experience non-sexual group physical intimacy through cuddling. ==Description== Cuddle parties are described by organizers as "workshop/social-events" that give 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 nonsexual events and commonly kissing is not allowed. A cuddle party is a group experience, while the one-on-one analog is a cuddlebuddy relationship. However, "cuddle-buddies" are almost always ongoing relationships after being formed from prior relationships (friendship, etc.) Whereas in formal cuddle parties usually each person only has prior bonds with part of the total membership and the membership relationships are often not ongoing (e.g. same group may never meet again or only a few times). They may be referred to as a "puppy pile party" or "Contact Comfort Gathering". Events have occurred across the United States, including New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Montgomery (Alabama), Atlanta, Seattle, Boston, Minneapolis, Chapel Hill (North Carolina), Madison and Milwaukee (Wisconsin), Chicago and Kansas City, Howland (Ohio), San Antonio (Texas); and abroad reaching Toronto and Vancouver (Canada), London (England), Melbourne and Brisbane (Australia), Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg, Munich and Frankfurt (Germany), Copenhagen (Denmark), Helsinki (Finland), Hong Kong and Gothenburg (Sweden). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cuddle party」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
