aster Steelow likes to be flogged. Reid, pictured in the Superman shirt and Scooby Doo pants, is more of a cuddler.
Is there really a difference? The answer may not be as simple as you think. When does fondling become fetish? |
New Yorkers sometimes have a hard time meeting
others with similar desires. Reid and Steelow nipped this
problem in the bud with organized parties
centered around their needs.

Inside a SoHo yoga studio, strangers
mingled with Cuddle Party regulars as they began to snuggle,
nuzzle, and otherwise get to know each other physically
in a safe, non-sexual manner. Some were neglected as children,
others just like to hug.

The East Village isn't what
it used to be, except for places like Flesh Theater, the
twice weekly fetish party on Second Avenue. Take a peek
inside, where "Will you walk on me?" replaces
"What's your sign?" as
the cheesiest pick-up line in the club.
