I finally got to go to a Cuddle Party! (http://www.cuddleparty.com) It was awesome, it felt like finding my people, and being a kid again, and was just so comfortable and relaxing and happy! I was only planning on going to one to check it out since the bay area is a bit of a drive… but it was just too great to not go again. And the people were wonderful! Maybe I can get some of my friends to come with me sometime. 
I’ve just felt so energized and free today too. I think this is another step toward being the me I want to be. Open and carefree and affectionate while still knowing and having my boundaries and respecting others boundaries. It was great to be able to hug and trade backrubs and cuddle with people without worrying “Will they think I’m coming on to them? Are they trying to come on to me?” And all that crap that gets tagged onto physical touch, sexualizing it when it doesn’t have to be sexual at all. And it was great not having orientation or gender get in the way either. Cuddling men is nice, but cuddling women is nice too cause they’re all soft. It was about enjoying touch, like enjoying the wind on your face, or silk on your skin. It’s not sexual, just pleasurable. So for me with my sensitivity and hedonistic tendencies, it was heavenly.
Plus, I got to wear my cute penguin pajamas. 
Glad to hear you found your groove. When I get the chance, I’d love to tag along sometime. I too am fond of cuddling women, I must admit. =D And yayy for penguin pajamas!
