Cuddle Party

[ysabetwordsmith]

Everyone needs contact comfort sometimes.  Not everyone has ample opportunities for this in facetime.  So here is a chance for a cuddle party in cyberspace.  Virtual cuddling can help people feel better.

We have a cuddle room that comes with fort cushions, fort frames, sheets for draping, and a weighted blanket.  It has a basket of grooming brushes, hairbrushes, and styling combs.  A bin holds textured pillows. There is a big basket of craft supplies along with art markers, coloring pages, and blank paper.  The kitchen has a popcorn machine. Labels are available to mark dietary needs, recipe ingredients, and level of spiciness. Here is the bathroom, open to everyone.  There is a lawn tent and an outdoor hot tub. Bathers should post a sign for nude or clothed activity.  Come snuggle up!

There's also. I want to participate but I am not entirely sure of the social rules—as ng_moomoth describes, the rules are different here—and the rules I have internalized say red light. (Some of those rules are bullshit. But I don't know which ones.)

That would apply even more strongly with physical contact than with virtual contact. Like I don't know that I'd offer to hug, for instance, alatefeline in meatspace. I don't know as I could. Red light. But we virtually hug all the time.

At least in here, you can ask. People will talk about what they want or don't want to do. We've also talked about things that people learned growing up, and whether those were reasonable or not.

Intellectually: knew this.

Emotionally?

(Thanks for explicitly saying)

You're welcome. I like to encourage communication.
