Men’s cuddling group aims to redefine masculinity and heal trauma

The two-year-old group draws men from various backgrounds: a 37-year-old Mormon who works as an airport gate agent, a 57-year-old married father of three, a 62-year-old retiree.

Men's Therapeutic Cuddling is a meet-up group that aims to give men a safe space to ask for help or affection. During a demonstration held for The Inquirer, members (from left) Kyle Hoffman, Scott Turner, TJ McDonnell, Kevin Eitzenberger, and Ryan Hancock pose together.
