Cuddle Dojo is my business where I create safe spaces for various groups and provide various services around cuddle therapy, group connection, social understanding & exploration. My name is William, and I have been through my share of pain and challenges of being taken advantage of Socially, Professionally, and Physically. With that, I have had to learn about establishing appropriate boundaries while figuring out how to understand and process my own feelings. A big portion of this is through the help of therapy and understanding that there is a difference between Intimate Physical Contact(IPC), and Sexual Contact and that there are appropriate ways to have IPC without crossing the line into Sexual Contact. I have learned that there are a lot of men like me that have a wife and children and yet struggle with a desire to be intimately closer to other men. For some, this may be a genuine desire to have sex, however, for a large portion of men they aren't actually seeking sexual pleasure, but a need to feel safe and connected to another man. These feelings are easily conflated and misinterpreted and can end up creating confusing and harmful consequences. That is where I come in, I help other men that have these confusing feelings and give them a safe place to fulfill their need for Male IPC and not cross a line that may hurt them. The first step of this process is to meet and learn about each other. Then if we feel that this is a good direction to go, then we need to talk to all parties involved( I.E. Spouse or other involved parties) and make sure that everyone is on the same page and that we have consent from everyone. This is important so that there are no secrets and this does not turn into a secret rendezvous and degenerate into something negative. After consent is given from all parties, then we can take the next steps. I personally know how it feels to not feel like you can connect on a deep enough with someone, and I have developed a process that integrates the concept of skin to skin communication in a variety of activities. There are a variety of levels of contact implemented but we always start out with the lowest level first and progress from there to establish healthy boundaries and to have time to talk about how others are feeling with how the process are going. If you think that this is something you or someone you know could benefit from, then please don't hesitate to shoot me a message. I can't wait to get to know you and be a part of your journey.
