Strategies and tactics for seeking close physical affection

Published 5 days ago

The strategy laid out in the JSON document focuses on receiving close physical affection without engaging in sexual activities or entering into a relationship.

First, one suggested approach is to join a cuddle therapy group. Action items include researching local groups, checking reviews, signing up for sessions, and attending with an open mind. This approach emphasizes setting and communicating clear boundaries while seeking a safe and comfortable environment.

Another strategy involves participating in community or support group activities focused on platonic touch. Suggested actions include identifying relevant groups, attending meetings, and actively engaging in activities such as group hugs. Regular participation helps build trust and rapport.

Lastly, engaging in platonic physical activities like dance, yoga, or martial arts can also serve the objective.

Exploring activities like acroyoga and contact improvisation is recommended to secure satisfying yet non-sexual physical connections.
