Why are Cuddle Parties usually nonalcoholic events?
Great question. When Cuddle Parties began, REiD and Marcia actually recommended that people bring some champagne so they could make mimosas if they wanted to. What was discovered was that people brought champagne but no one drank it. Go figure! Eventually the whole alcohol idea was nixed because the cuddling experience was so powerful and people were feeling so safe that they just didn’t need it. Now, some folks who hire us to create Private Cuddle Events or Cuddle Birthday Parties may wish to include alcohol in the evening’s celebration itinerary, but we always create Cuddle Parties with the intention that the people who attend feel safe and remain present to their experience. Cuddle Parties and other affectionate play events are places to get in touch, not to check out. Getting drunk is not good cuddle manners and it’s not what we’re committed to.
