C'est un concept des plus innovants dans le domaine du bien-être social. Les soirées câlins offrent un espace unique au sein duquel les participants explorent la connexion humaine. Les interactions sont non sexuelles et basées sur le consentement mutuel. Elles proposent une réponse créative aux besoins de proximité et de soutien émotionnel dans une société qui se trouve de plus en plus marquée par la distance et l'isolement.L'origine et le but des soirées câlinsLes soirées câlins ont vu le jour à New York. Surnommées cuddle parties, elles trouvent leur origine auprès d'un couple dont la femme, Marcia Baczynski, est spécialiste en relations humaines. En 2004, les deux Américains organisent leur toute première soirée câlin. L'idée est de permettre à des personnes en manque de contact et d'intimité de trouver du soutien physique, sans rechercher la connexion sexuelle.Il faut savoir que New York est réputée pour son taux de célibat. Malgré la forte densité de population, les rencontres y sont rendues difficiles par deux aspects. D'abord, l'avènement des réseaux sociaux et du digital a établi des gouffres entre les personnes. D'autre part, la politique en termes de harcèlement sexuel y est stricte et mène les New-Yorkais à se montrer très précautionneux dans leurs échanges physiques.Face à la pauvreté des contacts humains directs et significatifs, les soirées câlins instaurent un espace sécurisé et bienveillant où renouer avec ce désir profond de proximité, de chaleur humaine.Le déroulé classique d'une cuddle partyLes soirées câlins se sont diffusées dans toute l'Amérique et au-delà, jusqu'en Europe. Leur déroulé exact varie donc en fonction du pays ou de l'organisateur, mais certaines règles ont été fixées par les créateurs du concept pour encadrer la pratique.Tout débute par l'accueil des participants, qui vise à instaurer une ambiance chaleureuse et rassurante. Les personnes présentes expriment leurs intentions et parlent d'elles-mêmes, afin de mettre en place une certaine confiance au sein du groupe. L'organisateur rappelle les règles qui incluent le consentement mutuel, la confidentialité et la communication de ses propres limites. Parfois, des activités aident les participants à se détendre et à faire connaissance.La phase de câlins, guidée ou spontanée, arrive ensuite. Chaque personne souhaitant câliner quelqu'un doit d'abord lui demander la permission. Les deux participants échangent leur point de vue sur ce qu'ils acceptent et ce qu'ils ne souhaitent pas faire. Tout contact sexuel reste proscrit.Les câlins se font typiquement à deux, mais ils peuvent inclure plusieurs personnes à la fois. En fonction des attentes des participants, ils prennent la forme de massages, d'enlacement, de repos côte à côte, de caresses non sensuelles ou encore de conversation en se tenant la main.À la fin de la session, ceux qui le souhaitent peuvent garder contact, en général dans une optique d'amitié plus que d'éventuelle relation amoureuse.

Asking for what you want is an art. Sometimes you've had sex a certain way so many times it doesn't occur that you can ask for it any differently but you can always change your mind, and it's never too late to introduce experimentation. Sometimes using strategies like saying “you know what would make this even better?” can help. Other times you can't imagine how you would approach a person about something. In those cases, something like Marcia Baczynski's Good Girl Recovery Project or Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent or Dr. Paterson's The Assertiveness Workbook might be what you need. Of course you can always turn into The Intimate Marriage Podcast, specifically the episode called How Marriages Fail. The host of that podcast, medical doctor Alexandra Stockwell, is back to explain that how we ask can impact how good it feels for our partners to provide for us. Let's hear it straight from her on Intimate Interactions.

When it comes to the philosophy of non-monogamy, there can be a lot of questions: Is it polyamory or an open relationship? Do we have to tell each other about other partners? Is it a relationship or just sex? Today's episode is all about intimacy and non-monogamy and how people connect and relate to each other in that world, with lots of nuggets that apply to ALL relationships, whether monogamous or not. In today's episode, I'm breaking this all down with Marcia Baczynski (aka Marcia B.) Do you geek out on consent, communication, intimacy, how we relate to each other and connect, and why we engage in romantic and sexual relationships in the first place? You're not going to want to miss this episode! In episode 403 of the Embodied Podcast we discuss: (5:48) The difference between non-monogamy and polyamory (10:28) Important and relevant things to communicate with your partner(s), particularly when you're in a non-monogamous relationship (and why the complexity of communication grows exponentially—not linearly—in non-monogamous relationships) (12:50) Ethical non-monogamy vs consensual non-monogamy: what's the difference and do they mean the same thing? (And Marcia's preferred term here) How do you determine if one non-monogamous relationship is ethical or not? (32:17) Our best tips for living the lifestyle that works the best for YOU (and one really important thing to keep in mind when navigating non-monogamy) (44:08) TWO things that are so important to pay attention to when it comes to your relationships and what to hone in on so that you can get your desires met more often Slide into my DMs on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethdialto/ Or slide into Marcia's DMs on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/askmarciab/) or Twitter (https://twitter.com/askmarciab) Links: Episode 399: My Sacred Slut Summer Buy Marcia's book, Creating Consent Culture: A Handbook for Educators Learn more about Cuddle Parties Download Marcia's free Field Guide to Consent Learn more about Marcia and her work at her website: https://askingforwhatyouwant.com/ Take her upcoming course, Not Needy (starting October 26, 2022) Come join me for my October workshop!

In today's episode, Marcia Baczynski joins me to talk about consent, boundaries, authoritarianism, and sexual freedom. Marcia is an internationally recognised coach, writer, and presenter in sexual communication, boundaries, consent, and desire. Throughout our conversation, Marcia shared her unique perspective on how sexual freedom is a rock in the shoe of the most controlling and prohibitive side of the political spectrum. She explains her work with consent and boundaries, the effects of certain laws and legislations on minorities' sex life and their freedom in general. We also talk about her book, "Creating Consent Culture," the work she does with her peers, and she shared a terrific exercise for creating awareness around consent and boundaries. What You Will Learn In This Episode: - How Marcia understands consent and boundaries - Why she believes the consent culture might be endangered by particular political views - What drove Marcia into working with consent and boundaries - The three misconceptions about the consent culture Marcia doesn't agree with - Why it is crucial to keep a playful mindset growing up - A fantastic consent exercise to give our bodies a somatic experience of saying NO - The differences between the gatekeeper and the agreement or collaborative consent model Marcia is passionate about helping adults overcome shame and connect with their true desires, whether sexually, romantically, or relationally. In 2004, she founded the Cuddle Party, a workshop that literally travelled around the world and counts over 200 facilitators on 5 continents. Throughout her career, Marcia has been featured in over 100 magazines, including Rolling Stone, the New York Post, the San Francisco Chronicle, GQ, and Marie Claire, to name a few.

I am thrilled to have Marcia back on the podcast to talk about the complexities and nuance of consent culture.

Figuring out how to express our interest in someone can be one of the most challenging things in dating, especially if we find them really attractive, fun, or interesting. What do we say? What if they're not into it? Why is it so hard to express ourselves in a fun, clear, non-creepy way? If what everyone we know reports about themselves is true, no-one is good at flirting. How the hell are any of us hooking up if this is a skill no-one has?

Joy is a choice and touch is essential. These are central tenets for Edie Weinstein, author, speaker, columnist, medical social worker, certified Cuddle Party facilitator, and Laughter Yoga coach. Edie has written for HuffPost, Elephant Journal, Wisdom Magazine, The Good Men Project, Beliefnet.com, and more, and is the author of The Bliss Mistress Guide to Transforming the Ordinary into the Extraordinary. She speaks with Robin Renée on this episode about her journey as a touch educator who points the way toward healing in a world in which many people grew up in families where touch was nonexistent, limited, or in some way coercive. Offering Free Hugs across Ireland, creating a "wall of love" in Pennsylvania between protesters and a story time event featuring drag queen Annie Christ, and co-facilitating a 400+ person Cuddle Party in the Washington, DC area are among the love and life-affirming adventures she describes. In News, Wendy Sheridan tells us about the Supreme Court's stay of Louisiana's anti-abortion law and all discuss the complicated tale of Jeff Bezos' extortion claim against The National Enquirer and its potential legal and political fallout. Also in this episode, Mary McGinley reveals her lonely sock problems, we celebrate World Day of Social Justice (February 20th), A Day Without News (February 22nd), National Tell a Fairy Tale Day (February 26th), and there is a strange detour into talk of Bigfoot and dinosaur porn and gay niche erotica writer Chuck Tingle (Don't ask... Just listen!). This week, we recognize the birthdays of Walter Becker of Steely Dan, Nina Simone, Julius "Dr. J" Earving, Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, Steve Jobs, George Harrison, Erykah Badu, Tony Randall, and Johnny Cash. Things to do: Visit Edie Weinstein online at her website, opti-mystical.com, and on Facebook. Read The Bliss Mistress Guide to Transforming the Ordinary into the Extraordinary.

I'm pretty sure this was my favorite conversation on the show in the last three years. Not just because it primarily focuses on sex, but because our guest Marcia Baczynski is really brilliant at what she does, and we addressed things that most people simply don't talk about or receive education on. Marcia's big truth was that she can change her mind. From there we explored: -What Cuddle Parties are (she's the co-founder), -Navigating boundaries, consent, preferences and assumptions in sex. -Gender, heterosexual and non-heterosexual dynamics in love and sex. -Power dynamics! Which is something I've been really wanting to explore on the show - and why people may or may not feel obligated to say yes to things they are really not ok with sexually. -And she also introduced some great concepts like desire smuggling and the difference between consent and permission. This is one to listen to more than once, share with friends, and use as a conversation piece with loved ones. Enjoy!

She lives in the Bay Area.

Marcia is the creator of the Good Girl Recovery Program, a relationship coach, a sexual communication expert, and the co-founder of Cuddle Party! First, we dive into her brilliant Good Girl Recovery Program that "helps women to break out of the roles that keep them small and unsatisfied, and move into being more of who they are in all areas of their lives." Marcia explains how women have been raised to be "good girls", how shame shows up differently for women than it does for men, how we've internalized sexist beliefs, and how a woman's desires and knowing what she wants is complicated. "It doesn't matter what you do, you're not going to be 'womaning' enough." We also get into the myth that success solely equals hard work, and how we've internalized the story about how attaining success means we have to suffer. We, also, get into gender, the performance of gender and gender identity. Marcia identifies as femme, which she defines as: "A performance of stereotypical femininity in a way that is winking at it and is approaching it from a position of power rather than as reaction." In addition, Marcia shares about Cuddle Party, consensual touch, and creating these needed spaces. It turns out that Marcia and I, once, many years ago, hosted an all women's sex party. Yes, you heard that right. We dive deeper into how radical and healing these parties were, and how they influenced our relationship to our bodies and our sexuality.

Searching for intimacy in the 21st century -- especially intimacy that isn't tethered to a sexual encounter -- can seem like an impossible task. So what do you do if you're looking for some affection or tenderness and maybe a community to call your own? In this episode, hosts Carina Kolodny and Noah Michelson explore two options. They chat with Paul, the head of Rain City Jacks, a masturbation party for men in Seattle, and Marcia Baczynski, the co-founder of Cuddle Party, which is... well... exactly what it sounds like. Together, they explore exactly what happens at these parties, what is -- and isn't -- allowed and the whys and hows that motivate attendees to get up close and personal with a roomful of strangers minus the goal of going all the way.

I has been a while since anyone here on the Swingset could consider themselves "new to this" but it behooves us to every once in a while put ourselves back into that new and nervous state, where everything was the first time, and we were discovering as we go. We don't have a lot of great models of healthy non-monogamy these days. Learning to advocate for our partners and ourselves, figuring out what we want and how to ask for it, learning the difference between a request, an offer, and an invitation, and all in all... having fun, is what we talk about today. Marcia Maczynski joins us today, you can check her out at all her delicious urls, successfulnonmonogamy.com, askingforwhatyouwant.com, and goodgirlrecovery.com!
