What we’re about
A collective of the Bay Area Polyamory & Consensually Non-Monogamous Groups. A place for polyamorous* people to have a collected source for many poly-friendly happenings and resources in Marin, North Bay, San Francisco, Peninsula, East Bay, San Jose and Santa Cruz. Each group represented here is a separate entity. To learn about each group, please visit our ABOUT pages (menu bar on left hand side of this page). The group itself is not a dating or hookup app. If you're looking for that, there are many others to choose from. This is a place to list events of interest to polyamorous, open, RA, multiamorous, etc people. If you are unsure of what polyamory is, please spend some time here: www.lovemore.com
*This group also welcomes people who are Consensually Non-Monogamous (CNM); Ethically Non-Monogamous (ENM); Relationship Anarchist (RA); Solo-polyamorous; in an Open Relationship, and more!

This Cuddle Party is made specifically for those who identify as LGBTQ+ in order to create an even safer and easier place to share platonic touch and practice consent.
Don't get us wrong, our regular events and usual Cuddle Parties are open to all and they are LGBTQ+ safe and friendly events, but this one is just for us!
If you're asking yourself, "Am I Queer enough? Do I belong to the LGBTQ+ community? Will they accept me?" - we want to remind you that the "Q" also stands for Questioning, and that means this event could be for you!
