PrinceCory, this is in my wheelhouse.
Seeing your location, MAYBE there's such a thing available in Denver area, but certainly no closer than that.
It's all about cuddling-with-consent, and there's a "cuddle menu" where
the group hosts (or host) talk(s)**** about the most common and comfortable cuddling positions, after the introductory greeting hugs. The hugs are ten minutes, comprised of ten one-minute hugs, with other people who are attending the Cuddle. Each minute a different guy.
****The weirdness of the English language strikes again! Why is it that the verb for "hosts" looks like something that should be singular [talk], and the verb for "host" looks like something that should apply to the plural [talks]? Hot-damn, our language is sooooo weird. But, I digress.
Then, three timed cuddles of 20 minutes, in theory each of those with somebody different, and at the end a "cuddle puddle" with a dynamic group that has everybody in one big group cuddle, each person with their chosen style of cuddle. That was something new at the last meet that was on September 22. I've now been to four of these Cuddles, or should I say FIVE because I went to another one that is coed. I can return to the coed one after I'm back to spending "all" of my time in Chicago again, after the middle of November, but the timing didn't work out with my (more or less) once-a-month brief trips into Chicago over the summer. I look forward to resuming those, because I'm neutral about which gender I cuddle with, and at the coed one I had a black woman in my "big spoon." It also doesn't matter if I'm cuddling with a complete stranger, especially if one considers that AT ONE POINT, even you and your best friend were total strangers (other than, perhaps, gossip or rumors you may have heard beforehand).
This kind of event, to say the least, will NOT appeal to all. I almost live for this stuff, I was a cuddler for two or three decades before this was even any idea for a public event. There are usually "mid or high teens" quantity of people there - and this is in Chicago. It's a small, but hopefully growing, universe.
There are a couple other Cuddles that I'll probably never get to, because they're far out in the suburbs and such.
These events are entirely platonic, and at the September 22 one (which is for gay men) I realized that it's nearly
impossible for me to be sexually aroused at these things anyway. At that one, I felt like "cobwebs" were vaporizing in my brain, and some braindoors were opening up, etc. That's far more interesting than being focused on arousal which is something that can be done solo. There is a lot of great energy and it's good to roll-with-it and open the mind up to all of that.

http://www.meetup.com
You DO have to sign up to search for meet-ups, but that's not a problem. There's no fee, no spam.
This is a website that covers a wide and extreme plethora of private/public meet-up groups, where people with common interests get together and hang out (or some can be structured more like seminars, etc.)! Anything and everything can be there: kayakers, bridge players, documentary enthusiasts, transgendered M to F, cuddling, Trekkies, poets, church people, gamers...you might want to see if anything is "around" in Denver. Maybe even Kansas City if you're closer to there (like if you're near Hays), but I doubt it - Cuddles are definitely a Big City thing.
