We're a group of bears, cubs, and all types of furry friends who are proud of ourselves, and our community, and who want to support and help each other live a long, healthful lifestyle that fits our personalities and needs.
There is no one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to nutrition and lifestyle - especially for our community. Let's celebrate that in a judgment-free, supportive, fun, furry environment.

Event Description:
Wellness coach and founder of Belly, Coach Cub, will host this extra-long cuddle pile event for bears, cubs, chubs, otters, admirers, and the like! We are a friendly, supportive, and inclusive group.
You don’t need to identify as a bear—all ages, body types, and backgrounds are welcome with open arms!
Enjoy a relaxed evening of warm cuddles, snuggles, and bear hugs.
This is a space to enjoy and explore intimacy without sex. This is a clothing-on event (shorts, comfy clothes, etc.). We have strict ground rules, including no kissing, groping, or acting on any sexual impulses. If you’re looking to play around, this isn't the right event for you.
But if you want to lie in a group of supportive guys and feel real love and connection—this is for you.
Snacks and refreshments will be provided!
FAQs
I’ve never been to a cuddle event. What should I expect?
Picture a pile of puppies lying around, snuggling into each other. That’s what our event looks like. After a few simple warm-up activities, we’ll all lay in one big group, soaking in the warmth, support, and love.
Don’t worry—we’ll guide you through everything so you feel completely comfortable and included.What should I bring to the event?
Bring something comfortable to change into (shorts and a t-shirt, sweatpants, or PJs). Feel free to bring a blanket, pillow, or stuffed animal if you’d like!What are the benefits of a cuddle event?
Cuddle events offer many of the same benefits as loving human touch. Cuddling releases oxytocin, the feel-good hormone. It can help lower blood pressure, reduce stress and anxiety, and even support heart health. But more than that—it just feels warm, fuzzy, and safe.Want to know more? Check out a testimonial from one of our past participants below!
Is this event sexual?
No. This is not a sexual event. It is clothing-on, and groping is not allowed. If sexual energy or arousal comes up during the event—that’s natural and okay. We simply ask that you don’t act on it during the cuddle.Can't make this class?

This group is supportive, inclusive, and welcoming. It is for YOU.Here's how a fellow Belly member explained his experience:
"The Bear Cuddle Party...it was a great to connect with other gay men in a non-sexual loving environment. The atmosphere and the tone was friendly and welcoming. It was nice to explore connecting the body and spirit in a safe and caring way. They are an amazing group of men whom I enjoyed sharing a wonderful, and exceptional time. It was great to meet and connect with everyone. And as it turns out, cuddling was exactly what I needed."
