FAQ

What is a Cuddle Puddle?

A Cuddle Puddle is a non-sexual event that offers participants an opportunity to explore platonic intimacy via touch. That being said, this is a consent driven space (meaning no physical or non-physical contact without expressed agreement or permission) that centers safety, comfort and connection. That means we aim to create a space where the majority of the bodies look like us. We invite you to take a moment to literally hold each other in community. In this sociopolitical climate, this is activism and we take our joy seriously.

I see this month’s Cuddle is only for [group]. Can I attend?

LA Cuddle Club alternates between Open Cuddles – events for absolutely everyone – and cuddles for folks with specific identities & lived experiences. If this month’s cuddle isn’t for you, next month will be!

What should I expect at an LA Cuddle Club event? Do I have to touch strangers?

Expect consent education, bursts of laughter, giggles, pillows, warmth, background music, and connection. LA Cuddle Club events are exercises in platonic intimacy, agency, and joyful community. Participating in a Cuddle can look like hanging out solo with a coloring book, eye gazing, giving (or receiving) a shoulder rub, or joining a glorious pile of bodies. How you engage is entirely up to you (within the bounds of consent).

What should I bring? What should I wear?

Pack what will make you comfy – something to lay on, pillows, blankets, light snacks. Wear what makes you feel comfortable – as long as it’s street-appropriate. No shoes are allowed in the cuddle space so pack socks if you don’t like being barefoot.

Do I need to be vaccinated to attend?

LA Cuddle Club is a private rental of the studio and so does not have a mask or vaccination requirement. Please only come if you’re feeling well and currently not experiencing any symptoms of contagious illness.
