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.

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.
