Consent isn’t a checkbox but instead the whole container.
A new study on professional cuddling maps how we make platonic touch safe: set expectations, keep asking, and practice “no” as care.
It also names what to do when boundaries wobble (from awkward moments to overstimulation), so sessions stay kind and clear.
Curious what that feels like in real life?
I posted this week's blog about it, plus how I use bidirectional, co-created touch in session.
Read it and exhale.
