Please carefully consider the following questions with presently, friend:

1. Are you a man?

2. Do you like to cuddle?

3. Are you a man who likes to cuddle with other men?

Well then, the Men’s Therapeutic Cuddle Group in Philadelphia is the social club for you, fellow hug lover!

Behold a brief description of the Philly Cuddle Group, according to their cuddly website:

The intention of this Meet up is to provide a safe, structured, and platonic environment for men to experience what I call “the three As”; Acceptance, Affirmation and Affection. (The Affection intrinsically “anchors” the first two As.)

We establish “safe touch” boundaries, and only allow non-sexual cuddling. Cuddling never takes place on a bed (see below). Men may want to cuddle or be held for many reasons, including to help heal past sexual abuse. If touch boundaries are not honored by all men, it can be damaging to the emotional or psychological health of other men.

You are invited to participate regardless of your religious beliefs, marital status, or sexual orientation. (Please note: Men with back or knee injuries, or those suffering from obesity may find it difficult to fully participate.)

So there you have it: all persons welcome; however, fatties may find it challenging. But hey, more of you to love, right?
