Often a cuddle puddle (from my perspective) consists of me and a bunch of friends, more girls than guys (and in many cases I've been the only guy) lying down in an open area, often the floor of a living room or something like that. We'll put down stretched-out sleeping bags and comforters and pillows etc... as bedding to lie down on and spend the beginnings of the evening watching a movie perhaps and most often social drinking.

During and after this we'll spend a good amount of time cuddling - as an example I'll be sitting on the ground with my back to, say, the front of a couch and have a girl leaning back against me with me cuddling her - hugging her / running my fingers along her skin or through her hair / massaging her / kissing the back of her neck, etc. Sometimes far enough that I'm massaging her breasts, pinching her nipples, sometimes a hand around her throat and biting the side of her neck - though not as often for this as while we're still a group it doesn't get this openly intimate all that often - once in a very long while with the right mood, right amount of stress on all our parts needing to be released and right amount of alcohol in most of those cases.

As we move around to get drinks, bathroom breaks or whatever I'll typically shift to another one of the girls to cuddle if they're ok with me touching them - which the majority are who are at these get-togethers.

For the majority of the time I'm massaging someone and basically exploring their body to the extent socially appropriate at any given time trying to find out what makes them feel good. I feel especially accomplished when I can make someone shiver or moan or arch their back and gasp in what is pretty obviously sexual pleasure - the majority of the time without touching the girl's breasts or pussy. It makes me feel... powerful perhaps?, not sure how to describe it exactly but it is a significant driving force for me.

So that's a general idea of a cuddle puddle from my perspective. It's not an orgy - that's why we have the word orgy, but more like a bunch of friends mutually playing around with a combination of stress relief, bonding and throwing lots of sexual tension around. Sex usually comes afterwards, but almost never as an orgy (at least from the experiences I've referenced here), more often we break up into couples late and have awesome built-up hornyness sex.

One of the more recent ones I was at was a friend's wedding party - we split up into the bachelor and bachelorette parties - I stayed with the bachelorette party and cuddled. Awesome time.
