Cuddle parties. I’m not making this stuff up! Guys and girls get together at some guy’s apartment and lie intertwined in a big pile of limbs and touching and spooning and stroking – but there’s no sex. There’s a referee overseeing the proceedings, kind of like a life-guard – or I guess it would be abstinence-guard under these circumstances – making sure none of the rules are broken, like #7 – no dry humping. Come on! You tell me there’s no sex, and on top of that, no dry humping even. This is worse than giving me non-alcoholic beer. This is giving me non-alcoholic beer in powder form.

If you’re curious, this seems like a good summary of what one of these non-orgies is really like.

Last reminder: this weekend I’ll be at UberCon VII in Seacaucus, NJ as the “Webcomic Guest of Honor.” We’ll be playing AvP2 on the LAN, and I’ll be packing my copy of the out-of-print Aliens board game. See ya there, k?
