    \n
  1. Pajamas stay on the whole time.<\/li>\n
  2. No SEX. (Yep, you read that right.)<\/li>\n
  3. Ask for permission to kiss or nuzzle anyone. Make sure you can handle getting a no before you invite or request anyone to cuddle or kiss.<\/li>\n
  4. If you’re a yes, say yes. If you’re a no, say no.<\/li>\n
  5. If you’re a maybe, say NO.<\/li>\n
  6. You are encouraged to change your mind from a yes to a no, no to a yes anytime you want.<\/li>\n
  7. NO DRY HUMPING!<\/li>\n
  8. Communicate, communicate, communicate.<\/li>\n
  9. If you’re in a relationship, communicate and set your boundaries and agreements BEFORE you go to the Cuddle Party. Don’t re-negotiate those agreements\/boundaries during the Cuddle Party. (Trust us on this one.)<\/li>\n
  10. Get your Cuddle Life Guard On Duty or Cuddle Caddy if there’s a concern, problem, or question or should you feel unsafe or need assistance with anything during the Cuddle Party.<\/li>\n
  11. Crying and giggling are both welcomed and encouraged.<\/li>\n
  12. Outside of your personal relationships, it’s nobody’s business who you cuddle, so please be respectful of other people’s privacy when sharing with the outside world about Cuddle Parties.<\/li>\n
  13. Arrive on time.<\/li>\n
  14. Be hygienically savvy.<\/li>\n
  15. Clean up after yourself.<\/li>\n
  16. Always say thank you and practice good Cuddle Manners.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    They also say that liquor isn’t allowed, but this kind of event seems like the perfect place for MDMA<\/a>. <\/p>\n
