On the top floor of one of the Dorćol's neighbourhood buildings in Belgrade a unique gathering took place . It's "Cuddle Party" brought from Moscow by the Russian emigrant Marina Bulganina.

Just before the arrival of the guests, Marina makes the final preparations in her beautiful apartment while the Cure song "Close to me" plays. At this party, everyone is welcome, regardless of sexual orientation, to enjoy touching and caressing strangers with hands or different objects to experience different sensations and feelings.

At first, people mingle and get to know each other. Each person writes on the board their feeling that they have come and their expectations, as well as their impressions at the very end of the 4-hour event. As the guests sit on the comfortable floor surrounded by pillows and soft blankets, host Marina explains the three rules and outline of the meeting.

1. Yes is Yes, No is No! Which means you are free to express whether you give permission for a certain touch or not.

2. No sex! Touching private parts is not allowed.

3. No Destroy! Don't ruin the atmosphere or anything else with your behavior.

After the meditation and the rejection exercise, the most interesting part comes "Free Flow" where people exchange touches with different partners in a dimly lit atmosphere. Marina says that life skills are acquired through this entertainment - how to listen to our own instincts about who we like, how to learn to say no, but also how to accept rejection. This party, which costs app. €20, is organized several times a year.
