A cuddle party (also called a cuddle puddle or snuggle party) is a small, structured social event intended to let people experience nonsexual group physical intimacy through cuddling.[1][2] News coverage typically presents cuddle parties either as a response to urban isolation and “touch deprivation.”[1][3]

History

Cuddle parties originated in 2004 as a series of events in New York City run by relationship coaches Reid Mihalko and Marcia Baczynski, who described it as a safer space for people who felt intimidated by massage or tantra workshops.[4][5][6] Cuddle parties later emerged in other cities,[7] and facilitator training was provided by the originators.[8]
