These cuddly parties must be the little people's fund raisers for Kerry/Edwards.

He says people come - and return to - his cuddle parties because as adults they don't get their "Recommended Daily Allowance of Welcomed Touch."

Uh huh.

It's a wonder that guy can even get anything through his intestines with all that omental fat. Of course, given the age of the photo, he's probably already dead.

In no time they will have "professionals" telling us of all the therapeutic effects this has and how the NEA plans to incorporate it into the public schools,

But don't dare lay in bed and snuggle with your (homeschooled) kids in the morning while listening to the bus pick up the other neighborhood kids for school...that would call for a visit by the Authorities.../sarcasm

I love FR! Every time I'm in the dumps, feeling like a pathetic loser, someone posts a thread like this. I feel positively mentally healthy next to these people!

Of course not, 2JM.

No one cuddles your kids like a State-certified Professional{tm}!

I love cuddling!

(With someone I know well--am in a close relationship with--or at least related too).

And I hate stuffed animals (don't buy me a teddy bear unless you want to find it on your doorstep with a knife through its heart)

1. Pajamas stay on the whole time.
2. No SEX. (Yep, you read that right.)
3. Ask for permission to kiss or nuzzle anyone. Make sure you can handle getting a no before you invite or request anyone to cuddle or kiss.
4. If you're a yes, say yes. If you're a no, say no.
5. If you're a maybe, say NO.
6. You are encouraged to change your mind from a yes to a no, no to a yes anytime you want.
7. NO DRY HUMPING!
8. Communicate, communicate, communicate.
9. If you're in a relationship, communicate and set your boundaries and agreements BEFORE you go to the Cuddle Party. Don't re-negotiate those agreements/boundaries during the Cuddle Party. (Trust us on this one.)
10. Get your Cuddle Life Guard On Duty or Cuddle Caddy if there's a concern, problem, or question or should you feel unsafe or need assistance with anything during the Cuddle Party.
12. Crying and giggling are both welcomed and encouraged.
13. Outside of your personal relationships, it's nobody's business who you cuddle, so please be respectful of other people's privacy when sharing with the outside world about Cuddle Parties.
14. Arrive on time.
15. Be hygienically savvy.
16. Clean up after yourself.
17. Always say thank you and practice good Cuddle Manners.
