Keeley Shoup is a Cuddle Therapist who specializes in non-sexual, platonic, physical intimacy and affection like hugging, spooning, holding, nuzzling, cradling, and cuddling. She chats with hosts @KerstinPorter and @GreenberryLucas about cuddle parties and how they aren’t some sweaty orgy, but a supportive and kind event to connect with other adults. Keeley also talks about how a cuddle session isn’t just for the lonely and asexual, but for everyone. She goes on to teach Greenberry, Kerstin, and listeners how to ask for consent, not just for cuddling but for sex and other physical touch, and she makes it sexy!

Keeley also helps out a caller, Fiona, who wants her friend to be more than just a friend. She wants him to be a cuddle buddy while still keeping their relationship platonic but creating space for cuddle sessions.
