MEN CUDDLING MEN (Chicago)

* For May we'll be learning to do the Pancake Plank! Basically one man lies atop the other, facing each other. The guy on top puts some weight on his knees to lessen the weight for the other guy. This position causes compression which can be pleasurable/sensual. (Re: above photo. Did you know you can cuddle in a car?)

April showers bring May flowers. Come on up to Dwight's cozy penthouse studio on the 29th floor overlooking the city. Get away from the hustle and bustle -- and join us for two hours of cuddles and/or nip play. This is Clothing-Optional so you can wear as much -- or as little as you please! The touch can be as platonic or sensual as you request. Express your wishes and boundaries. There'e a reason Men Cuddling Men has continued to grow for over nine years.

PAY BY APRIL 28 and GET THE EARLY BIRD DISCOUNT FOR JUST $23! (After that, the fee returns to the regular $28.) The address of the event will be shared the week before the event in the Welcome Packet. Please watch for it.

Check out our Cuddle Menu and Nipple Menu for suggestions! This will give you some ideas of new positions to try out.

Minimum number of cuddlers needed for this event to happen is 5. Come out and cuddle with us. Store up all the body heat you can. Events all take place on the north side near Montrose and the lake. I send my exact address the week of events. (If you don't get my notices, please be responsible for reaching out to me to get critical info!) Ignore meetup map. We are the only male cuddle meetup group in the country.

What are the benefits of cuddling? It's been proven by science that nurturing touch/cuddling boosts one's feeling of being cared for, and decreases depression/stress. There's lots of science of this -- lowering blood pressure, increasing resistance, the release of oxytocin which is a neurotransmitter that makes you feel nurtured and safe. Babies who are not touched have been known to die of skin hunger. People who cuddle live longer!

FIRST HOUR (WE ARE ON OUR FEET)
-- We start with a WELCOME CIRCLE where each person introduces themselves. Shades are drawn, room is darkened. Ground rules will be noted aloud. Cuddling is by consent.
-- The majority of time is for HELLO HUGS where one gets to embrace most of the others in the room for 5 minutes each (hugging, body exploration, caressing). Might limit this to a half hour. Often this is where newbies start to relax.

SECOND HOUR (WE ARE LYING DOWN)
-- We do 2-3 cuddle sessions about 20 minutes each. You can use the bed, futon, or foam mats.
-- The last cuddle is your choice! It can be a Three-way Cuddle or Two-way Cuddle. (In Three-ways, each man takes turns being in the middle, touched by the others.)
THERE ARE NO REFUNDS, NO DATE CHANGES. Most members are gay men and they identify as male. You can pay by paypal.

DO'S AND DON'TS
* DO. Cuddling can be nurturing or sensual. Spooning, face to face, massaging, nip play, body exploration, hardons ok. When in doubt, ask for permission.

* DON'T. This is not sexual. No oral, no penetration. Cumming is not the purpose, but if it happens please clean up. PLEASE come with your body and beards freshly showered, and fresh breath. Body odor and food smells are a turn off when cuddling up close! Freshen your deodorant before leaving the house.

Soft music will be played. Many like to converse during cuddles. Laughter or tears are fine also. Always speak up if something comes up that you are uncomfortable with. And to speak up if there is something you'd like to ask for. Also this is communal cuddling. It's based less on physical attraction and more on knowing we all need to be touched. On the other hand, everyone has the right to say yes or no to a cuddle. Not everyone may be comfortable with everyone and that's ok.

Diversity of body types welcome. Drama will not be tolerated. The week of the event, I will send details, and my address/unit number. If you don't get it -- email me at DwightOkita@gmail. You are responsible for checking all emails and direct messages and Meetup site notices -- or you might not get important changes/cancellations/address info. Thanks! -- Dwight

For many Chicagoans, summer can't get here fast enough. Please join us for the first event of the hot season for some luscious snuggling with the nicest group of guys. We just have room for ten. (Re above photo. Did you know you can cuddle with your eyes closed, or cuddle staring at the ceiling? It all works!)

The event date above is just a placeholder date for ongoing "event." Cuddle date can be negotiated to your schedule!
There are two kinds of private cuddling that I offer. The fee is the same.

* Therapeutic Cuddling is focused on nurturing. It is clothed and platonic. Ideal for those dealing with stress, mood swings and in need of comforting.

* Sensual Cuddling is focused on fun & pleasure, can be clothing optional. Ideal for those seeking refreshing touch, stimulation, engagement.

I have over five years experience as a trained, certified cuddle practitioner engaging with a dozens of clients with diverse needs. Every person has their own unique Touch Story. One-on-one PRIVATECuddling is great to address a need, or solve a problem. Or just to have fun. Not everyone likes to cuddle in a group. We can schedule a session at any time convenient for both of us. I can customize our session to your needs and share a menu of various popular cuddle positions. I'm also an author and a part time caregiver for seniors. Every human has the right to be hold someone and to be held.

We start by talking by email/phone and I ask “What exactly do you hope to get out of this cuddle session?” Some of the answers clients have told me: I want to feel cared for. I’m too isolated. My job has gotten stressful. I'm touch-deprived.

HOW TO SET UP A SESSION
1. Start by RSVPing to this event. (The meetup RSVP will not automatically charge you.)
2. Direct message me to discuss the session and date/time as well as length of session/fee. dwightokita@gmail
3. We will have a brief phone chat to get a comfortable sense of each other. Also to make sure a private cuddle is a good fit for what you are seeking.
4. Pre-payment to me is required by Zelle. I can't take paypal or venmo for private cuddling.

The fee for a one hour clothing-optional PRIVATECuddle with Dwight is $80. (This is the market rate for pro cuddling. Many other pro cuddlers charge $150 to 200 per hr.) Pre-payment is needed. If you need to cancel, please give 24 hours notice for a full refund. With less than 24 hours notice -- you will need to pay half the fee. I look forward to our session!

WHAT HAPPENS IN A CUDDLE SESSION? At the session you might tell me what cuddle positions you enjoy. (Spooning, head on chest, face to face, back to back, etc.) Feel free to set any boundaries. As soft music plays, clients often enjoy talking during the cuddle. Come freshly showered, with teeth brushed, and I will be likewise. My building has security at the front desk and is very safe and accessible. Will give you address once booked.

GUIDELINES
OKAY LIST -- cuddling, spooning, planking, massaging, caressing, tickling, body exploration (may vary depending on whether therapeutic or recreational).
NOT OKAY LIST -- no oral, no ejaculation, no penetration (not okay for either cuddle modality).

ENDORSEMENTS OF CUDDLE SESSIONS W/ DWIGHT
"Dwight is kind, patient, calm and informed. Though nervous at first, we hugged and my anxiety lessened. I felt an energy exchange throughout the session. I also felt calm and light at the end! I will schedule more sessions." -- Marsf

"It was such a pleasure to hug, to touch and be touched by a caring cuddler. I came across Dwight on a massage site. This hybrid of massage/cuddling made me feel cared for, unlike anyone else on the site. I look forward to my next 90-minute appt!" -- BerlinGermany

"I had a great time at both my private 90-minute sessions. Dwight is very sensitive to the needs of his clients. I felt safe and comfortable with him. Leaving the session, I felt rejuvenated and relaxed. I work as a nurse and these sessions are part of my self care routine." -- Sully

One Hour Session is an $80 value.
1.5 Hour Session is a $120 value.

(THIS IS NOT AN EVENT SO THE DATE IS NOT REAL. THIS IS INFORMATIONAL.)

This is how you can send direct messages to organizer Dwight. You can do it from the Meetup site wherever you see my name/photo.

(Also there is a chat option between members after an event takes place. To use the new chat function, both members have to agree to be contactable.)

Please look at the two photos above. On the right you see my name and photo. If you click the picture -- it brings you to the second photo on the left. (In this case it shows the chat page for Antonio, because it won't allow me to chat with myself -- but it would take you to my chat page.) So if you're trying to reach me, that's one way. The other way to reach me is by email which is in most of the events -- dwightokita@gmail

I prefer not to have private chats with members on the discussion board. So for messages just for me, please use the chat function or my email. Thanks so much. Let me know if you have any questions.
