Welcome to Men Cuddling Men! We're based in Chicago. We hold platonic, soothing, healing group events for men of various orientations who enjoy cuddling other men.
Our members tend to be kind, friendly and fun men. MCM has been thriving for 9 years because there is a real need to be cuddled, held, touched by other men. And it's refreshing that it doesn't have to lead to sex. Cuddling can be an end in itself.
Dwight O is the organizer. Our group launched in November 2015.

Requirements/Guidelines, August 2026
-- To join MCM, you must now be approved by organizer (to prevent spammer access).
-- Your photo is required. Ideally it is a current photo of yourself. For those needing anonymity, if you can’t post a pic of yourself, at least post a pic of your hand or arm or chest or leg. No non-human photos please. A first and last name is required, though you may use an alias. Whatever first name you give in your profile is what you will be called at events.
-- Absolutely no spamming aloud on the discussion boards. You will be banned, drawn & quartered, and otherwise ridiculed.
-- You must register with your real email address -- or you risk missing important info like event addresses, last minute cancellations, venue changes, etc. If you use an alternate/fake email, you are responsible for regularly checking that for my emails.

We value real members who are engaged on the discussion board, and who will work with us to grow the cuddle community.

NOTE ON PHYSICAL ATTRACTION: Traditionally people cuddle because they are physically attracted to each other. With New Cuddling, we cuddle with the understanding that we all need to be held, rather than based on physical attraction.

We strongly encourage you to read the ABOUT US section on our Meetup homepage. It will probably answer many of your questions. If you need to contact Dwight, do so at DwightOkita@gmail
