Hello Hugs & 20-Minute Snuggles. What's not to like? Get in here.

Nurturing Hello Hugs, 20 minute One-on-One Cuddles,
What's Not to Like?

What makes Men Cuddling Men (MCM) cuddle groups different? Unlike the also great Cuddle Parties that launched the cuddle movement twenty years ago, MCM is uniquely designed for GBT men and those who identify as men. We explore therapeutic touch, but do not shy away from sensual touch. RSVP + Zelle payment encouraged ASAP to prevent disappointment. The ingredients in a two-hour session?

Hello Hugs -- We start with 30-40 minutes where each man gets to hug the other men in the group for five minutes each. People are free to be clothed, unclothed, or anywhere in between. This can help you choose who you'd like to partner with for the longer cuddles.

One-on-One Cuddles -- There are about three 20-minute cuddles. The first one is assigned (pairing newbies with regulars) and the last the are your Free Choice. You could cuddle with one man -- or do a three-man cuddle. Snuggle spaces include a queen-sized bed, a futon, or foam mats on the wood floor. Recently a friend of mine gave me a cozy, unrushed hug and I was overwhelmed by how powerful it was! It made me a believer again in the importance of human touch.

* * * For the event, you must send me $28 to complete the registration process! RSVPing alone does not mean much.

How to Secure Your Spot at the event

Step 1. Go to Meetup event page and select RSVP button. However know that you are not registered until you submit Zelle payment. It's best if you RSVP and pay at the same time.

Step 2. Send email to Dwight at DwightOkita@gmail indicating: Member Name, Actual Name, Event Date. Failure to do so can delay matching money with member! Or you could lose your spot.

Step 3. Go to Zelle (thru your bank or app) and send the correct amount ($28). To zelle to me, send to DWIGHT OKITA. For account identifier, use dwightokita@gmail.com We no longer accept cash, Paypal or venmo. *RSVPs that are Unpaid by Feb 16 will be removed and you won't be able to attend.

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.

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 touch.
* Clothing-Optional is available, as well as nip play. * Ask your partner for what you want. Take responsibilty for setting boundaries.

Minimum number of cuddlers needed for this event to happen is 6. (In the event that we have to cancel due to low rsvps -- I will refund your fees.)

It's been proven by science that nurturing touch/cuddling boosts one's feeling of being cared for, helps lessen political stress, decreases depression. 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. People who cuddle live longer! And cuddling is fun and sensual.

THERE ARE NO REFUNDS (unless organizer must cancel). No date changes. Most members are gay men. Open to bi men and trans men and those exploring. Sorry, not open to women.

Guidelines
* Cuddling can be nurturing or sensual -- spooning, face to face, massaging, etc. When in doubt, ask for permission.

* This is not sexual. It relaxing, soothing, therapeutic, sensual. 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.

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. If driving, it's best to park on the street. There is limited guest parking below my building that's about twenty bucks. No attendant. User-unfriendly.

Diversity of body types, ages, backgrounds welcome. Drama will not be tolerated. Be mindful to check for my emails/direct messages and Meetup site notices to avoid disappointment/changes. Touch is so important and rejuvenating. Let's get our needs met.
