Come Here, You Big Lug

By Joshua Errett

All this dreary weather we’ve been having lately is enough to make Torontoist want a big cuddle until spring comes again. But for the Torontoists sans cuddling partner, you might be attending this – Toronto’s next Cuddle Party
cuddling.jpgFor the cost of $25-$35 (it’s a sliding scale) you can cuddle “in a safe, non-sexual workshop to explore affectionate touch boundaries and communication skills.” It’s organized by Cecilia Moorcroft, certified Cuddle Party facilitator (where would one receive certification for such a position?) and happens on October 18th from 7-10:30 in a workshop space at Wonderworks on Harbord Street near spadina. Torontoist found out about the upcoming cornucopia of cuddles via Craigslist where a switched-on CL reader figured he could cuddle for free if he found a willing partner.

“Just to make it clear…again…nothing sexual. I’m not a freak I’m a nice guy looking to cuddle – is that so wrong??”

Torontoist says, No. It isn’t so wrong. Charging $25-35 to cuddle someone – now THAT is wrong.

    Does anyone remember The Ant Hill Kids? They were a cult from Quebec that took shape in the mid-eighties.
    This looks a zillion times creepier.

    I only cuddle with strangers if they are very good looking and smell really really good – what kind of screening process does this cuddle party have?

  • Colin

    I’m not sure it has much of a screening process. But do notice the name tags. So I guess they wouldn’t be total strangers.
    I can’t read it but I hope the man in the green sweatshirt’s tag reads: Hello, My Name Is:
    Father Christmas
