History
Cuddle parties originated in 2004 as a series of events in New York City run by relationship coaches Reid Mihalko and Marcia Baczynski, who described it as a safer space for people who felt intimidated by massage or tantra workshops.[4][5][6] Cuddle parties later emerged in other cities,[7] and facilitator training was provided by the originators.[8]
