The Love Drive with Shaun Galanos
Society & Culture:Relationships
Spooning, cuddling, massage, body-stacking, playing like a bunch of kittens, stroking in a non-sexual way, dancing with or without contact, extended eye-gazing. These are just a few of the types of platonic touch that you can experience at Cozy, a heart-centric cuddle-event hosted by Solomon Krueger in Montreal.
I've been to three of these parties and I have enjoyed each more than the last. There's an openness, a warmth, and tenderness at these parties that I've never encountered or experienced anywhere else. We talk about the power of platonic touch and why it's not more common. We discuss the importance of consent and how to ask for what you want, along with how to say no, and how to handle rejection.
This episode is warm and tender and you're going to love it.
