In the progressive haven of San Francisco, complete strangers can literally come together for an actual “Cuddle Party,” a place where people pay money for “four hours of cuddling at a secret location in San Francisco’s Richmond neighborhood,” according to a patron of this affair.
Writing for SF Gate, Bay Area resident Annie Vainshtein described her foray into one of these cuddle parties at a place called the “Cuddle Castle” dedicated to making people feel more comfortable with intimacy. It’s also the kind of place where 40-year-old men wear cookie monster onesies.
