Good evening community, 

Hoping all are enjoying your Tuesday! 

This evening I got cast in a student film with strong intimacy elements. The director has clarified that there will be an intimacy coordinator present while filming those scenes and that there is no stark nudity in the film. While I respect the script and am very interested in agreeing to the role, I’m nervous about the intimacy elements since it involves a couple (woman and man), and I have never kissed a woman before!  

I’m looking for help with this. Perhaps, a woman out there can help me practice with this “Slow Hug” exercise that my director gave me preparing for the scene. If you’re available and interested, please DM me. I'll bake you cup cakes in return! Thank you!

“There’s this exercise called 'Slow Hug' where two people start of apart and acknowledge the awkwardness or other emotions you may feel. Once acknowledged, get closer to each other until both of you are face to face. Make each other feel safe and then agree to hold each other’s cheeks (one hand at a time) and then transition to forehead to forehead. Once you guys feel ready, hug it out and make each other feel safe and welcomed.

After 'Slow Hug,' retreat back to face to face, working back from hug —> forehead —> cheek, then when you guys feel ready, have one person kiss the other on the forehead, cheeks and then nose. Then the other person repeats the process and then, when both of you are ready, kiss on the lips.”

Hey Boston Social Club

I’m organizing something a little different, and hopefully a lot of fun, for a good cause.

We’re putting together a “Spread the Love” Kissing Booth 💋 to raise awareness (and funds) for mental health and the growing loneliness epidemic. The idea is simple: bring people together, create some lighthearted human connection, and support something that affects so many of us.

How it works:

• Stop by, make a donation of any amount (seriously, whatever you’re comfortable with)
• Choose your vibe: cheek kiss, hand kiss, mouth kiss, hug, high-five, or just a genuine compliment 😊
• All interactions are consensual and opt-in only, good vibes and respect are the priority

We’re looking for a fun, friendly mix of women, NB and men to volunteer for the booth, as well as folks who just want to come by, donate, and meet new people.

Why this?

Because a lot of people are feeling disconnected lately. And sometimes even a small, positive interaction can go a long way.

If you’re interested in participating (as a booth volunteer or attendee), DM me! I’ll share details on location and timing based on interest.

Let’s make something a little bold, a little wholesome, and actually meaningful.

Okay, this is a long shot, but Reddit has done weirder things…

To the absolute legends at the Wellesley College scream tunnel (and the other magical spots along the course) who were offering hugs, kisses, and pure chaotic good energy to runners during the 2026 Boston Marathon, we MISSED YOU 😭

My boyfriend and I were running together (yes, suffering as a team builds character… allegedly), and somewhere between “I trained for this” and “why are my legs filing a formal complaint,” we completely fumbled our chance to experience the iconic kiss zone.

Tragic. Devastating. Possibly our biggest marathon regret (and we willingly ran 26.2 miles, so that’s saying something).

Here’s the twist: we’re a bit… closeted poly. Long story involving conservative upbringings, internalized awkwardness, and years of pretending we don’t both have crushes on the same charming strangers. But hey, personal growth, right?

Baby steps. Or, in this case, 26.2-mile steps.

So if you were one of the amazing humans spreading love, hype, and consensual marathon smooches, hi 👋 it’s us, the couple who ran by like “wow that looks fun” and then immediately got distracted by electrolytes and survival.

We’d genuinely love to connect, grab a drink, swap marathon stories, and maybe finally cash in on that missed kiss (for closure, obviously… very scientific, very important).

Bonus identifying details:

• We looked like every other exhausted runner but slightly more smiley at random intervals
• Probably yelled “THIS IS AMAZING” at least once while dying inside
• Regret level: high
• Pace: somewhere between “respectable” and “being passed by someone in a banana costume”

If this was you (or you know someone who was part of that energy), DM me!

Worst case: we make new friends.
Best case: we fix our biggest Boston Marathon mistake. 😉

Hey Boston Social Club -

I’m Jen (31F) and I’m starting to plan ahead for Burning Man 2026 (August 30 to September 7, 2026) and other festivals (Coachela, Bonnaroo etc). And I’d love to find some awesome people to build a crew with!

I’ve never gone with a solid group before, and this time I really want to do it right: rent a van/RV, co-create something fun (thinking interactive art, cozy hang space, or something playful and expressive), and just fully lean into the experience together.

I’m especially hoping to meet other women in their 20s/30s who are down for a “hot girl summer” vibe,, but like… dusty, creative, soul-expanding version 😄

Think:

• Getting dressed up in wild, expressive outfits & biking the playa at sunrise
• Exploring art installations at night and chasing magical moments
• Hosting a cute little camp setup where people can stop by and connect
• Going to the "Dome" if we feel like it
• Dancing, wandering, laughing, taking it all in
• Supporting each other, hyping each other up, and making real friendships

Important note: I’m not into drugs or substances. I’m going for the art, the creativity, the people, and the overall experience. So ideally looking for others on a similar wavelength.

If you’ve been before, even better. I’d love to learn from you. If you haven’t, let’s figure it out together.

If this sounds like your vibe, drop a comment or message me. Would love to start meeting up in Boston ahead of time and see if we click!

Let’s build something fun this summer and beyond.
