Beyond Cuddle Party - Cuddle Party rules in real life

Common Cuddling questions answered by Mary Cuddler 3/16/2018
So, you’ve heard of cuddling and you have questions, right?
Let me address a few of the most common questions and concerns in a quick low down.


I would never cuddle a stranger!

I am not asking or expecting you to cuddle with a stranger. I don’t cuddle with strangers either! Is that a surprise? I hope not. When I facilitate Cuddle Parties, the Welcome Circle format is there to help us get to know each other and create community while we go over our Agreements with each other to create a safe space for all. It takes about 30-60 minutes to go through the Welcome Circle discussion and workshop exercises and part of the purpose of that time spent together is to get to know each other and find out who we might want to connect with. I always recommend the first good question to ask someone is “may I talk with you”. Get to know a new friend or spend some time with an old one. Cuddle only when you find someone you are comfortable with and want to connect with through touch. A lot of the people who attend Cuddle Parties have been to many of these events together and have become close friends.


What about professional cuddlers? Aren’t they strangers?

Most professional cuddlers have an intake process for new clients that will allow you to see if you are good fit for working together before they agree to book a session. Even if the intake process is fairly short, you always have the opportunity for get to know you time at the start of your first session where you figure out together what you want to share with each other. You should only cuddle when you are ready to share cuddles. Get to know your cuddle buddy as much as you need to in order to be comfortable before you share touch. Only when you are comfortable sharing connection together will you get all the best benefits cuddling has to offer.


Paying for cuddling? Shouldn’t that be something you only get from your intimate partners for free?

In a perfect world, we would all have an extensive support system of family, friends, and intimate partners there for us whenever we needed them. Unfortunately, this is not the case for many of us. Our personal relationships may not be all that we wish or we may have decided to focus our attention on other things and have no time to develop personal relationships. The exchange of money allows me to be there in full service to you without asking for any emotional energy back from you as I would expect in a personal interaction. I wish I could cuddle everyone in the world for free, but I also have to pay my bills, so I can’t offer that. A professional relationship means that we can focus completely on you and that I have the time, resources, training and support to be able to be with you in full presence.


I don’t get this question out loud very often, but I know you all are thinking it – Isn’t professional cuddling pretty much the same as prostitution? Someone is paying to touch you!

The short answer is NO, not at all. A lot of people make the assumption that the commodity they are paying for when they hire a cuddler is access to touch their body. This is not true for the form of cuddling I practice and what is taught in the Cuddlist training model. When you hire a Cuddlist, you are paying for my time, my Practice, my education, my investment in this profession, my training, my focus, my energy, and my full presence that I will bring in to service for you. I am not going to do anything with you that I don’t feel comfortable sharing with you. I, personally, also have a lot of information and resources I have found during my own journey so I love to talk (offer connection through quality conversation) and share ideas about relationships, boundaries, consent, and communication during my sessions. I will Hold Safe Space for you to be your authentic self and listen as I witness without judgement. This real connection between us is necessary in order to get the amazing benefits a good cuddling session has to offer. If I am faking it or uncomfortable and letting you touch me just because you paid me, that will not bring you the benefits and bliss you are looking for that is available from a good cuddle session.


Why cuddling at all?

There are so many benefits to spending quality time with another human being. Skin hunger is a real thing and can make you feel like you are in withdrawal if you don’t receive healthy connection through touch on a regular basis. Oxytocin is the cuddle hormone that is released when you share wanted, healthy touch with someone and it can help you feel relaxed, at ease, and even blissed out. Oxytocin is my drug of choice. It is a totally renewable and sustainable resource that is as close as the nearest hug. Most people’s reaction when they interact with babies or small children is to want to hold them, hug them and cuddle them. It seems safe and obvious to cuddle with children, but for some reason we think it isn’t the same with adults. That happy, blissful feeling you get cuddling a 3 year old on your lap when you read stories together can also be had when you share consensual, wanted touch with anyone you are comfortable with. Healthy, wanted touch has been shown to lower your blood pressure, help you relax, help you release or work through emotions, raise your immunity and just make you feel good. Touch is something we all need. Babies who don’t get enough touch fail to thrive and may even die. We never outgrow this need, we just talk ourselves out of it. Just like sleep or food, we can short ourselves for a long time and survive, but our mood goes down and our general well-being suffers as well as our mental and physical health. For optimum health and well-being, we need healthy food, adequate sleep and quality connection and healthy touch shared with other human beings.


How do you cuddle without it being sexual?

Many people feel this need for connection or touch and think it must be a need for sex. Most people have only shared cuddling with small children or with a sex partner, so of course cuddling with other adults is tied to sex in their experience. It doesn’t have to be that way based on your intentions and your communication of expectations or agreements ahead of time. You have a lot more choices for getting your needs met that fall between sex or nothing. There is an entire spectrum of connection available to you between closing yourself off and sex. You can share connection through simple eye contact, holding hands or leaning shoulder to shoulder. It can be very satisfying to put your arms around each other or stroke your partner’s arm while talking. It doesn’t have to be a gateway to something else or create an expectation for more; you can enjoy holding hands just for the sake of holding hands. I dare you to try it.


What if I get aroused?

This is a question that most often concerns men when they think of cuddling. They are very worried about what their cuddle buddy might think when they find out they are aroused by an interaction that is supposed to be non-sexual.
Liking someone, being attracted to someone and even getting aroused are all completely natural physical responses and are totally fine. No good cuddler will get annoyed if their partner gets aroused. In a non-sexual interaction, we agree that we are not seeking out arousal, and we won’t try to sustain it or further it if it happens. The only thing that will be a deal breaker for me is if you break our agreements with your actions by seeking to further arousal or turn the interaction sexual.
If you do get aroused, you don’t necessarily have to do anything. You could say - ‘I’m ready for a change, can we sit up and talk for a bit?’. You could adjust your position, or you could even tell your partner, ‘that feels really good, but I am starting to get aroused, could we do something else?’ (I have actually said this myself at a Cuddle Party - yes women get aroused too). There are a lot of easy ways to handle it. As a woman who has cuddled many times, I can tell you that I usually only know a man is aroused when he intended to let me know by leaning against me intentionally or telling me.
I can also tell you that in all of the Cuddle Parties, Cuddlist sessions, and other workshops and sexy events I have attended, I have actually only noticed an erection once. He didn’t bring focus to it and it was a total non-issue for me as his cuddle partner. Most of the time cuddle events are so relaxed and peaceful that sexual energy just doesn’t manifest itself.


I saw this cuddler and they [fill in the blank].

Every cuddler is unique. Every cuddler can run their practice the way they choose to run it within the laws of their area. Even within my own chosen format with Cuddlist and Cuddle Party, there is room for me to put my own spin on how I provide this service which involves quality time and personal connection so therefore is highly individual by necessity. Your experiences with a cuddler may inform you, but it shouldn’t create expectations or preclude you from working with another practitioner. I hope you will experience cuddling in many formats until you find what works best for you.

More Common Questions answered by Mary Cuddler 3/19/2018

What if no one wants to cuddle me?

Of course it is a possibility that you will not find someone at this particular Cuddle Party that wants to say 'Hell, yes'. Everyone who attends Cuddle Parties (including the Facilitators) are at choice, just as you are, and no one has to do anything they do not want to do. Ask yourself if you really want to cuddle with someone who doesn't want to cuddle you? Well, if you did, it would be awkward and uncomfortable and you would be missing out on the relaxing, lovely, peaceful feeling you can get when you do find someone you want to share connection with. So when someone says no, I like to thank them for trusting me enough to give their true answer and for taking care of themselves. Now I am free to move on and see if I can find someone who is a true yes to me so I can share real connection. That is really what I am looking for.
If you refuse to try through fear of rejection, you are giving yourself a No before you even get started. At least if you get out here, you may have a chance to find connection. It is absolutely worth taking that chance. Even if you don't find someone to share touch with, I can guarantee that you will be offered hugs and good conversation. Connection through conversation, full presence and just being in a room full of community and peaceful energy can be wonderfully relaxing. You can always come again next time because different people attend Cuddle Parties all the time. You need to get as many Nos as you need to in order to find the Yes.

Is cuddling cheating?

This is a question that every individual will need to answer for themselves. Everyone's arrangement with their partner is unique. I always advise my clients to be in consent with their partner and in Cuddle Party we ask you to honor your agreements with your partner. Cuddlers are not in the business of trying to take you away from your committed relationship. We want to empower you to create healthy, wanted connections with the people in your life and honor your agreements with integrity. We want to help you learn to negotiate those agreements and communicate with authenticity so you will have healthy relationships that meet both of your needs.
For those of you struggling with this question, I advise you to ask yourself and your partner if seeing a therapist feels like cheating for you. The intent with booking a cuddle session is the same as counseling or massage therapy - to help you relax, release emotions, or work through something specific. Your partner can always attend cuddle sessions with you and I also advise that you bring your partner to Cuddle Party, at least the first time. You need to discuss with your partner where your boundary requests for each other lie. Perhaps holding hands and talking is ok, but no touching on the torso. Maybe leaning back to back or shoulder to shoulder with someone else would be comfortable, but full body cuddling feels threatening to your partner. Head massages are ok, but back massages are too intimate. Maybe you just want to talk and enjoy being in full presence without sharing touch, of course that is always an option too. There is a wide spectrum for you to place your boundaries on.
As a professional cuddler, my business arrangement with my clients is intimate, but it is still a professional relationship for me. I am providing a platonic service and the only designs I have on my client's relationship with their partner is to give them experiences and tools to make it the best relationship it can be. My personal opinion is that if I do my job well, my client eventually won't need to see me any more.
Perhaps if your partner is threatened by you seeing a cuddler, you may want to request a cuddler or a find a cuddle buddy the opposite sex of those you are attracted to. That can be a great place to start.
I will still see clients who do not inform their partner when they book a session with me, because I know that sometimes we have to work things through before we bring them to our partners. I will always try to help you get to a place where you can tell your partner your needs with full authenticity.

Do you have a question or want more clarification?

Most of these questions are addressed all over cuddling blogs and websites everywhere on the web. However, I really wanted to give a quick and dirty low down on one page for you. If you have a question you don't see here, please email me at MaryCuddler@gmail.com. You can also search for more info regarding any of these questions and find many resources. You don't have to only take it from me.

Happy Cuddling!

Contemplating Money 4/22/2017
I am often contemplating money these days. I wish I could offer everything I do at no charge, but I could not support myself if I did that. So I compromise.

My group events are run by donation and I take creative exchange as well. That means that if you want to attend any of my group events, you can decide how much you want to, or are able to contribute. I don't monitor the donations, so I have no idea who has paid or how much. If you can support this community by providing a venue or a service, that is a great alternative to money donation.

**If you are called to be with us, money or lack of it is never a reason to stay away.**

I keep finding people telling me they can't come because money is tight. That always makes me frustrated and sad to hear that, because I don't know how to say it any plainer than I already have.

I do ask for a membership fee on my Meetups (Utah Cuddle Club and Nourishing Connections). If that is a problem for you, I just need some communication to demonstrate your energetic investment in the community and I will waive the fee.

I am required to charge the going rate as a Cuddlist so that I don't undercut my professional colleagues. However, I offer a free half hour intake to discuss the session, meet you and talk about what I can offer while we get comfortable. This face to face free time is something I offer to anyone who wants to meet me to talk about my events and what I offer. Free hug and chat is definitely not something most Cuddlers offer. I also have discounts available if you want to help set up booking referrals, host space, or book multiple hours or multiple sessions. First hour for a new client is discounted to $60.

I know from any one person's point of view, it may seem like I don't do much. However, Free Hugs and meeting anyone who wants to chat takes up energy. Sometimes I am messaging for several weeks before I actually can arrange to meet and I get lots of cancellations. Finding and arranging venues, treats and lugging those mats can be annoying at times. People tell me that my work won't be valued unless I require payment, but I really don't want to be like that.

Investing in the cuddle community is work for me in terms of time and energy and actual money outlay. I am definitely not getting rich working in this field. I am still in the red compared to what I have put into it and it continues to be a slow bleed putting out more than I receive back. At the end of the day, I don't do this work for money. I do it for two reasons.

1. I genuinely want to help, facilitate and empower people to be their best and highest and happiest authentic self.
2. I want to be part of a community of joyful, happy, empowered people and share that mutual support.

However, I cannot fulfill those two goals on my own, so I have to request support. Your full presence is always the first line of support I ask for. I can't facilitate connection if you are not here.
So support us whatever way feels most authentic to you - even if it is just to offer me a hug or to help take the mats out to the car. I, and everyone else in the community who benefits from these activities, really appreciate it. Thank you.
Please share your thoughts with me.

Why I do What I do 10/27/2016
So, why do I do the things I do? Two reasons. First of all, I actually really and truly do want to help people become comfortable in their essence, able to be confident showing their true self to the world without worrying what others think. I want people to know how to create their own safety and environment of respect with everyone they come in contact with.

I am not biased or trying to promote an agenda about what that true self should be, I just want people to be happy and empowered. I may share a little more of the type of activities my true self enjoys, but if it is not for you, I have no problem with that. I will be happy that you know what is for you and that you are taking care of yourself.

Secondly, I want to be around people that are empowered and confident and happy and not fake or pretending or miserable. This is my selfish motive. I am constantly looking for this kind of community and I consciously want to help grow people to this so they can be my friends, my support and fellow travelers to spread the positive message on to others.

That's all. I really am that transparent.

Males vs. Females, an observation on point of view 11/2016

Men walk into a room and everyone in that room is someone who can possibly give them what they are looking for - a date, business contact, whatever; until they prove through shared experience that they are not.

Women walk into a room and no one is a possibility until they prove through shared experience that they might be.

This has caused many misunderstandings and missed connections. The worst is that just about when a woman may be letting you in to the possible category, is the same time the man thinks he has waited too long and moves you in to the not possible category.

Cuddle Party rules in real life Sept 2015

Life Lessons from Cuddle Party – a communication workshop.
What Cuddle Party rules are teaching me about communication in real life.
Mary Sorensen Cuddle Party Facilitator #0099
September 2015

I discovered Cuddle Party less than a year ago. From the evening of my first party, I felt fully invested in the message Cuddle Party is promoting. I completed the facilitator training less than 6 months after that first party so I could become part of the movement to help people through cuddling. Too bad we don’t use smiley faces in essays. I may just do it anyway. ?

The Cuddle Party rules are highly relevant and applicable to all of our life interactions and relationships. I often tell new comers that the communication tools and ideas are going to be more valuable to them in their life than the actual cuddling – although the cuddling can be an awesome experience and is definitely worthwhile. I decided to write this essay to share some of my thoughts and explain some of the take away lessons of Cuddle Party. I have interpreted the rules a little differently here from the way they are presented in the Welcome Circle so we may discuss their applicability to life in general.

Rule #1 This is a non-sexual event. Keep your clothes on.
In our over-sexualized society, many in our culture are scared to seek connection for fear we will be perceived as seeking sex. There are two things wrong with that attitude.

First, I’ve learned that there are many forms and degrees of intimacy that can be explored without entering the sexual field. The entire spectrum of intimacy is available to us, and it is vast. It does not have to be an all or nothing prospect when we seek to connect with other human beings. The connection we make when we look into the eyes of the store clerk as we pay for the groceries to the connection we make with a child who needs a hug or with our best friend when we lay our head in their lap while talking or just holding our dear mother’s hand are all forms of intimacy and sharing. It is possible to be intimate with someone across the room using eye contact, facial expression, and the bond of mutual experience. There are many levels and areas to be explored that have nothing to do with sex. If you have decided not to have sex, for whatever reason is true for you, that should not restrict you from sharing an authentic connection with other human beings. You can still have meaningful connections with other human beings anywhere along that vast spectrum of intimacy that feels right for you.

Secondly, it should not be wrong to seek sex or be seen as a sexual being. It is not a bad thing to admit we have a natural need. It is only bad if this need is allowed to damage ourselves or others. We can seek sex in a healthy and mutually beneficial way using boundary negotiation and truth. As human animals, the need for sex is built in to us and denying it is tantamount to saying our natural self is not worthy of what it is asking for and genuinely needs. The more we deny our natural selves, the more unhealthy our mental state can become. Cuddle Party is an exercise in getting some of the connection we need without sex, but the communication ideas introduced can be used in our outside life to negotiate boundaries within any relationship.

Keep your clothes on. For me, this topic needs an essay all to itself. Many people equate nudity or immodesty with sexuality. This is another thing our American culture has screwed up. Because our culture is the way that it is, I do subscribe to modesty and dressing appropriately for the occasion. Every culture has rules and definitions of what is taboo behavior. If we do not wish to follow those rules, we need to surround ourselves with people who agree to different cultural norms. However, I do wish more people understood that a body is just a body and seeing any part of it should not trigger sexual thoughts. In the meantime, we all tacitly agree to keep our clothes on.

#2 You don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do, ever.
It is amazing to me that people need to have this stated explicitly and be given permission for this to be internalized in their life. This is a fundamental concept of becoming a strong individual and leading the life you want. Somehow giving a person permission allows them to have this power in their life. I give you permission now to never again do anything you don’t want to. There are consequences to your choices which you will have to live with, but you always have a choice.

You often hear the line “I had no choice” used in dramas and tragedies. The fact is, there is always a choice. What is really going on is that an assumption or a choice has already been made and based on that assumption, future choices become proscribed. Often people don’t even realize they have made the previous choice or assumption. I have become a crusader for identifying these underlying assumptions and choices we have made or been taught which no longer serve us positively. Something that may have been true or worked for us in the past may not serve us now.

For instance, you may be asked to do things at your job that you would rather not do. You may think- I have no choice, I have to do this, it is my job. The fact is, you have previously decided to do whatever is asked of you in exchange for compensation. The choice has already been made but it can be re-evaluated as you respond to the present moment. You do not have to live eternally by the way you thought it would be when you agreed to the exchange (See #6). You do always have the choice to negotiate with your boss or to not do it and find another job.

This works for relationships too. You may decide that the effort or compromise in a relationship is not worth what you get out of it. That is when it is time to end the relationship. Staying together at all costs is held up as the ideal to be reached, but it is not ideal if you are constantly asked to do what you do not want to do and feel that the return is not worth it, or even worse, is causing you damage.

Remember that you do not have to do anything you do not want to do, ever. You choose your own life.


#3 Ask permission and wait to hear the answer. Respect the answer.
We need to treat others with the respect we wish to have for ourselves. We do not demand things from people. We ask and then we wait to genuinely hear and respect the answer. When we ask, it is important to leave space for the answer and not assume agreement from our partner. It is even worse to act without asking at all.

There is an assumption built in to this; it is ok to answer with your true answer. In fact, it is required. When we trust and know that our boundaries are safe with the individual we are connecting with, it is a safe space to ask and also to answer appropriately. The asker must trust that the one being asked will only answer yes when they have reached their 100% yes. This agreement and understanding creates a safe space so the questions can be asked and answered with equal respect.

A corollary to this is that it is always ok to ask for what you want when you give space to hear the response and all parties know and understand that the answer will be respected. This is another thing people seem to need permission for. It is ok to ask. It can be freeing and a great relief to be with people who understand that it is all right to ask, because the person you are asking will only agree if they are fully on board and want to participate. If they are not, they will say no. This is a trust that our American culture is not good with. Often people are afraid to ask because they think it will be seen as an inappropriate question or a demand. If you don’t ask, you will never know the answer.

We agree to create and honor a safe space for both asking and answering.


#4 If yes, say yes. If no, say no.
This goes along with #2 – don’t do anything you don’t want to do. The simplest things are usually not easy. This IS very simple. Say no if you want to say no. Don’t overthink it. This is my favorite rule as well because it gives you permission to do what you want to do. If you want to say yes, please say yes.

Many people are stuck in caregiver mode. They are so accustomed to always being the giver, they think they don’t deserve to receive, that they are not worthy of being selfish on occasion. I endorse your freedom to be selfish and receive when you need it or even when you just want it. You must take care of yourself and fill your own tank so you have something to give others when the time comes. If you constantly give without ever receiving, you will eventually burn out and that will be a negative experience for all involved.


#5 Maybe? Say no.
We often say maybe when we mean no. This is imprecise communication and has led to many misunderstandings. You may intend no, but if you say maybe, others will hear yes. If you keep the door open with a maybe, even though you meant no; others will keep coming back to you to again and again for the yes. Be firm when you mean no. No is a complete sentence and does not require explanation, embarrassment or shame.

Saying no when you are thinking maybe gives you closure and time to think and ponder what you may want to negotiate so you can get to your 100% yes. Many times we are encouraged to take chances without being totally on board with the idea. Risk taking can have a positive outcome, but if you are not at 100% yes for taking the chance or the opportunity, you will not be fully invested and you will not enjoy the benefits of the risk. It will probably be a negative experience for you because you were not fully invested.


#6 You are encouraged to change your mind.
Many times we make a choice and then we are expected to abide by that choice for the rest of the night, the next several years or our entire lives. I am a large proponent of mindfulness and being present in the moment. To be fully present, you need to be able to respond to circumstances the way they are now; not how you thought they would be five minutes or five years ago when you originally agreed. People change over time and our interactions will necessarily change over time as well.

This is another thing people seem to need permission for. Once again, I give you permission to change your mind at any time. Remember, there may be consequences, but you can handle them. The important thing is to authentically be yourself.


#7 Respect your agreements with others. Communicate.
It is very important to communicate your boundaries and respect your agreements with all the people in your life. If circumstances have changed (see #6), you should honor your agreements until you have an opportunity to re-negotiate them together. Truth is the one thing I insist on in all my interactions.

We have been taught that we should have relationships that look a certain way, but there is no one way that works for every individual or every relationship. You must find what works for you and the one you are interacting with. Monogamous marriage may actually be the ideal for some and a complete disaster for others. I believe that as long as truth is present, and no one is being hurt or damaged, whatever works to keep happiness between you and all the people in your life is right.


#8 Ask for help
Asking for help is another thing people seem to need permission or validation for. I give you permission and I remind you that you may must ask for help when you need it or even when you are just tired of doing it all yourself and want it. You will be surprised how many people in your life will be willing to help and support you if you just ask. Think of all the people in your life, perhaps even just casual acquaintances, who you would help if they asked it of you. I’m sure you would be glad to help them. They will feel the same about helping you. Even something that may seem trivial, like sewing on a button, can really turn the corner from a bad day to a good one for someone when they are reaching a breaking point.

Many of us find some self-worth by helping others. So when you ask for help, you are actually helping the one you asked to feel needed, wanted, and giving them purpose by being able to help you. It is someone else’s turn. It’s ok to get help even if you CAN handle it yourself; you don’t have to.


#9 Tears and laughter are welcome and a part of natural life.
Often our culture teaches us to tamp down and sit on our feelings. It is important to realize that is not healthy. Surround yourself with safe people and find safe spaces where you can express your tears and laughter. A simple hug can help create a feeling of release in people that are accustomed to keeping everything bottled up. This release is necessary – we cannot go on indefinitely when we are wound so tightly.

Part B of this rule is that arousal is natural and we don’t have to do anything about it. We agree not to act on it at Cuddle Party. It is just that simple and it really is that easy.


#10 Respect others privacy.
Don’t gossip, don’t talk about others behind their back. You never know who may be listening and ready to judge someone. This one is easy. It is still a lesson to be learned for some, though.


#11 Keep your space tidy.
Generally, clean up your space; including your physical, mental and emotional spaces. Get your space in order and your life will be so much more comfortable and more enjoyable for you and all of those around you.


#12 – Unofficial Utah Cuddle Party rule: HAVE FUN
Life should be fun. Find some whimsy. Find the people who make you laugh and keep them around you as much as possible. Smile. Enjoy yourself. Do you really need permission for this one too?


I believe these life lessons are important for every individual to learn. These concepts and ideas for communication and self-realization are the biggest part of why I am passionate about spreading the Cuddle Party format. Cuddle Party is an excellent format for practicing these communication principles in a controlled, safe space using the medium of touch. I have been amazed and gratified to be present when someone realizes one of these principles and puts it in to practice. The light goes on in their eyes when they can see how these concepts may be taken into their larger life and used to shape and create the person they really want to be. These ideas can positively affect every interaction they have. It is wonderful to be part of the movement that can bring this understanding to so many people.

I hope you will try Cuddle Party soon, even if touching is not something you feel a need for. The type of people that are drawn to Cuddle Party always offer acceptance, fascinating conversation, and positive energy to those around them. I hope that description fits you as well and you will join us to offer mutual support to each other.

The communication tools, concepts, and ideas we learn at Cuddle Party will serve you well in every part of your life.

Hugs from me, always.
