Preview of Other Pawed NYC Fall Events
Bear Touch
The impetus of creating Pawed was to create a safe space for men to connect and bond over the power of touch. To this end, Pawed has been offering monthly massage rotation events which have drawn a diverse crowd of men. On September 30th, Pawed will offer a 4-hour workshop entitled, “Bear Touch Basics Workshop,” for men to learn the basic foundation of touch techniques. Reach out to them on info@pawednyc.com if you are interested in this workshop as details and tickets will be available soon.
In addition to massage, Pawed has run a number of cuddle events called “Bear Hug” which allow men to explore intimacy and connect with other men in a non-sexual way. Bear Hug has grown in popularity and has been a favorite event for many people. The next Bear Hug event is this September 25th. Learn more here: bearhug925.eventbrite.com
