SMALL GROUP CUDDLE! (Semi-clothing-optional)

Something new. For those who seek a smaller cuddle group experience -- instead of having up to 10 cuddlers, we'll aim for 6 max. And for those who can't do Saturday cuddles, here's your chance to sign up for this Sunday event!

This event will be "Semi-Clothing Optional." What's that? That means you may either keep all your clothes on -- or for you free spirits you may go shirtless, though you must wear something below such as gym shorts, briefs, etc.

Men Cuddling Men (MCM) cuddle events are uniquely designed for GBT men and those who identify as men. We explore therapeutic touch thru cuddle positions, but do not shy away from sensual touch thru nip play. RSVP + pay by Zelle ASAP to hold your spot and avoid deletion. What happens in the two-hour event? We start with a Welcome Circle where people share their names and a little about themselves. Then we move on to nurturing touch:

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 or semi-clothed at this point. This can help you choose who you'd like to partner with for the longer cuddles.

One-on-One Cuddles -- There are three 20-minute cuddles. The first one is assigned (pairing newbies with regulars) and the last two are your Free Choice. You could cuddle with one man -- or do a three-man cuddle or encourage a cuddle puddle! Snuggle spaces include a queen-sized bed, a roomy futon, or foam mats with pillows on the wood floor.

* * * 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. PLEASE 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.

While we encourage folks to be open to cuddling all -- we also understand that sometimes two guys are not compatible. Please cuddle mindfully. We all need to be caressed.

We are aiming to have SIX CUDDLERS for the Small Group Cuddle. Late RSVPers are often 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 tacticle pleasure. * Ask your partner for what you want. Take responsibilty for setting boundaries. Note: Please allow enough time for public trans or street parking, to change into cuddle clothes or use washroom if needed, and to join the introductions.

Welcome Packet
For those who've rsvpd/paid, I will send out a Welcome Packet the week of the event. This includes the address of the event, pre-partnered list for first cuddle, an awesome Cuddle Menu, more detailed Do's & Don'ts guidelines, etc. Please make sure you let me know if you have or haven't received this important email. * This event is not sexual.

Events all take place on the north side near Montrose and the lake. (If you don't get my notices, PLEASE be responsible for reaching out to me. Make sure you check whatever email you signed up to meetup with, even if it's an alternate rarely used. Also check your trash and spam.)
It's been proven by science that nurturing touch/cuddling boosts one's feeling of being cared for, helps lessen stress from politics, decreases depression. Cuddling lowers blood pressure, and increases the release of oxytocin (a neurotransmitter that makes you feel loved). People who cuddle live longer! And cuddling is great for single people too. Why should couples have all the fun?

THERE ARE NO REFUNDS (unless organizer must cancel). No date changes. If I have to cancel the cuddle, I will refund fees. Most members are gay men. Open to bi men and trans men and those exploring. Sorry, not open to women. We have many happy returning cuddlers, some have come to MCM for all 9 years. If you're less comfy in a group setting, reach out to Dwight who is a trained pro cuddler for one-on-one longer sessions based on your unique needs and wishes.

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

* This is not sexual. PLEASE come with your body and beards freshly showered, and fresh breath. Breath mints are good. Body odors and food smells are a turn off when cuddling up close!

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. If taking public trans, the 146 bus stops in front of my building. If driving, it's best to park on the street which is likely free. There is limited guest parking below my building that's about $20. No attendant and user-unfriendly.

Diversity of body types, ages, backgrounds welcome. Drama will not be tolerated. Come get your cuddle on.
