MCM's First Movie/Cuddle Combination! Sept 14.

Hi Guys, our first event of the fall will be a MOVIE/CUDDLE COMBO! We're testing the waters here. Some members expressed interest in watching a movie as we cuddle. I've chosen one of my favorite recent gay films which also has a great exploration of the dynamics of one Indian family. This is a clothing optional event. Folks can wear as much or as little as they want.

NOTE: RSVPing is awesome but your slot is not saved until you either pay by Zelle. Or you email me (dwightokita@gmail) that you are bringing cash on event day. Cash payment is least preferred and this is the last event when you can pay by cash. Please open a zelle account. From October on MCM events are zelle-only. Also since there are no cancellations, if you say you will pay at event but are a no show -- you are responsible for paying $28 afterwards. Thank you. *** To Zelle me send to: Dwight Okita dwightokita@gmail ***

IN ALL CASES, you must email me the following info:
MEETUP MEMBER NAME:
ACTUAL NAME/ZELLE NAME:
EVENT DATE:
EMAIL ADDRESS since meetup mail is iffy

Without both your Meetup Name and Actual Name, I can't match up your fee with your name.

A NICE INDIAN BOY stars the handsome Karan Soni and Jonathan Groff (featured in Hamilton). Rotten Tomatoes critics gave it 96% and audiences 97%. "Romance prevails in A Nice Indian Boy, a feel-good film with a sensitive and intelligent perspective on the complex intersections of cultural traditions, queerness, love and family."

Here's the trailer.

I suggest those most interested in the movie can sit closer to the TV -- cuddle with your partner on the futon or the floor cuddle mats. Those most focused in the cuddling, you might call for dibs on the bed or floor mats further from tv.

*** While we encourage folks to be open to cuddling all -- we also understand that sometimes two guys are not compatible. So cuddle accordingly. The event is cuddle-optional as well as clothing-optional.

Again remember when you RSVP that you send me an email so that I can mark you as attending. THE FEE IS $28. We NO LONGER accept Paypal.

We have room for no more than ten. Late responders will likely be disappointed. Come on up to Dwight's cozy penthouse studio on the 29th floor overlooking the city. Get away from the hustle and bustle -- and join us for two hours of cuddles and/or sensual nipple play. This is Clothing-Optional so you can wear as much -- or as little as you please! Express your wishes and boundaries.

The address of the event will be shared the week before the event in the Welcome Packet. Please watch for it.

Check out our Cuddle Menu and Nipple Menu for suggestions! This will give you some ideas of new positions to try out. https://cuddlemenu.weebly.com/

Minimum number of cuddlers needed for this event to happen is 6. Come out and cuddle with us. Events all take place on the north side near Montrose and the lake. I send my exact address the week of events. (If you don't get my notices, please be responsible for reaching out to me to get critical info!) Ignore meetup map. We are the only male cuddle meetup group in the country!

What are the benefits of cuddling? It's been proven by science that nurturing touch/cuddling boosts one's feeling of being cared for, and decreases depression/stress. There's lots of science of this -- lowering blood pressure, increasing resistance, the release of oxytocin which is a neurotransmitter that makes you feel nurtured and safe. Babies who are not touched have been known to die of skin hunger. People who cuddle live longer!

FIRST HOUR (WE ARE ON OUR FEET)
-- We start with a WELCOME CIRCLE where each person introduces themselves. Shades are drawn, room is darkened. Please share if you are seeking a Therapeutic Cuddle or a Sensual Cuddle.
-- About half an hour is for HELLO HUGS where one gets to embrace most of the others in the room for 5 minutes each (hugging, body exploration, caressing). Often this is where newbies start to relax. The movie is 90 minutes so we will start the movie with the Hello Hugs.

SECOND HOUR (WE ARE LYING DOWN)
-- We do 2-3 cuddle sessions about 20 minutes each. You can use the bed, futon, or foam mats.
-- The last cuddle is your choice! It can be a Three-way Cuddle or Two-way Cuddle. (In Three-ways, each man takes turns being in the middle, touched by the others.)

THERE ARE NO REFUNDS, NO DATE CHANGES. Most members are gay men and they identify as male.

DO'S AND DON'TS
* DO. Cuddling can be nurturing or sensual. Spooning, face to face, massaging, nip play, body exploration, hardons ok. When in doubt, ask for permission.

* DON'T. This is not sexual. No oral, no penetration. Cumming is not the purpose, but if it happens please clean up. PLEASE come with your body and beards freshly showered, and fresh breath. Candy or fresh mints are good. Body odor and food smells are a turn off when cuddling up close! Freshen your deodorant before leaving the house.

Soft music will be played. Many like to converse during cuddles. Laughter or tears are fine also. Always speak up if something comes up that you are uncomfortable with. And to speak up if there is something you'd like to ask for. Also this is communal cuddling. It's based less on physical attraction and more on knowing we all need to be touched. On the other hand, everyone has the right to say yes or no to a cuddle. Not everyone may be comfortable with everyone and that's ok.

Diversity of body types welcome. Drama will not be tolerated. The week of the event, I will send details, and my address/unit number. If you don't get it -- email me at DwightOkita@gmail. You are responsible for checking all emails and direct messages and Meetup site notices -- or you might not get important changes/cancellations/address info. Thanks! -- Dwight
