I'm kind of purposeful about touch -- either how I do it, or who I do it with. I'd rather spend $30 to get into a bar and not dance than $30 to get into a cuddle party and not cuddle.
Oh, HELL yes. There's not enough Ick in the world for me to express the levels of Ick I get from the concept of Cuddle Parties.
And I really really REALLY doubt my filters would find me someone to cuddle with. That's what people I know are for.
Per-zactly.
Um, yeah, the concept of a Cuddle Party kind of squicks me, and I am Queen Of Cuddling (With Friends And/Or Loved Ones. Possibly REALLY Hot Strangers, If They Wear A Utilikilt And Call Me "Darlin'" First) amongst a tribe of cuddlers.
I wouldn't pay $30 to cuddle. Especially with strangers.
The hardest thing in this world is to receive my netscape mails.
I can't get Dawn's voice to stop saying this in my head. Thanks a lot.
I wouldn't pay money for human contact, period.
I can't find strong enough words to express the uncomfortableness of strangers touching me. I don't much like most people, and an even higher percentage of those I don't know.
I would pay $30 to
avoid
cuddling with strangers.
I don't even know that I would cuddle with my friends. I'm not sure that was always true. Maybe having a spouse and kids adds an extra tier to the people with whom I'd cuddle, and squeezes out the friends. I hug (some) of my friends.
Does that extend to massage therapists, msbelle eta (and Steph)? Normally I feel the same way about stranger touch, but getting professional massages is totally different to me. My mother, on the other hand, hates even that idea.

It was supposed to sound like Buffy. I'm sorry it dawnwormed you.
Yesterday, we ended up talking about soaps in Minearverse. Later, I found myself earwormed with Neneh Cherry's
Buffalo Stance,
and finally figured out it was because it always reminded me of Steve calling Kayla "sweetness" on Days of Our Lives.

Awwww. That was the good old days of Days of Our Lives. I watched it faithfully every day from junior-high through college.
I haven't followd the cuddle party link - do people pair off with someone who's appropriate for their sexual orientation, or is is more of an anything goes (except sex, dry humping, etc) kind of deal?
