So are there rules? Or just random strangers touching you? Sounds a bit like the Gloucester social I went to that one time where all the women thought it was fine to grope and kiss me even though I went accompanied....   |

I don't know the details of a non sexual touch workshop or what it involves. If it's people enjoying the experience of having human physical contact within boundaries it can only be a good thing.
It holds no interest for me because I'm lucky to have all the affectionate, human contact I need  |

"Creepy. Strangers just touching you?
Yeah doesn’t sound like my cup of tea either!
And you called yourself an explorer ! Such a fraud  "
Touching and cuddling a bunch of strangers is waaaaay out of my comfort zone! |

Not saying i would be into it
but it is interesting that its (almost depending on circle) acceptable to meet and/or pay strangers for sexual touch but very much taboo And “creepy” to think about something similar for non sexual human contact ... i think it leads to lots of people hooking up just to feel close to someone |

That's certainly possible. |

It did make me go  that people consider shagging a stranger/ relative stranger ok but non sexual hugging of one is somehow "creepy".

All of the feedback above is reasonably negative - actually to me it sounds kind of fun!
I’m quite a cuddly / huggy tactile type so a cuddle party sounds my kind of thing to be honest, as long as the same principles apply as to swinging in that you only mutually hug those you are happy to and have consent to - and that a polite ‘no means no’ - then what is the problem?  |

Personally I wouldn’t do it but I can understand the appeal in some ways. Having a hug feels so good, it’s calming and relaxing and can help develop a bond. Our bodies cry out for physical contact. No funny stuff mind |

This is true. Most humans crave physical contact, even a stranger will do if you are desperate. People going through a trauma often crave a hug from someone who may be say, EMS, but they are still a total stranger. It's comforting.
Personally I couldn't pre-arrange a comfort hug with a woman, I just know I'd get a hard on.....

"At the moment, if I dwell, I could let any old creepy stranger stroke my hair.
Trying not to dwell."
I’d definitely volunteer (but I wouldn’t label myself as any old creepy stranger. .......I’m not old!) x  |

"What’s the point "
According to science cuddles can ...
Boost your immune system
Reduce stress
Help you sleep
Relieve pain
Boost mood
Increase heart health
None of which are sexual or intimacy reasons
And apparently many western people are touch deprived and we need 4 hugs a day for survival, 8 for maintenance and 12 for growth
So sounds like there are lots of points |

I have seen a cuddle group although at that time did not feel comfortable joining in so I didn't. It was at an event where there were various workshops going on simultaneously so people could join in whatever they felt most suited to their interests at that moment.
I am at the very beginning of training to be a certified cuddle therapist.
I realise it is something not everybody would understand or have an interest in. You train on how to be able to to give somebody (none sexual) cuddles in order to help them feel happier and supported. |

Looking at the picture of the group floor cuddle I notice two things. The girls all look either asleep or totally relaxed. The guys all look on edge and wide awake , maybe secretly thinking this is shit, thought I would at least get a good grope or trying to control involuntarily hard ons. I can’t see it catching on other than for groups of young girls with their token gay male friend. |

I think most people understand the concept of giving someone a non sexual hug. I’d be interested to know who in the uk is providing certification though - VTCT ? Cache? |

It sounds really gimmicky
I guess I can understand the concept of it if someone doesn't have friends or family to hug, but aside from that, no
I think the fact that there are workshops 'teaching ' people how to hug is a bit of a ruse |
