What is the Super Hug Club?

The Super Hug Club is a community that supports one another's need for safe, consensual, platonic physical connection by pledging to the 8 Safety Agreements when Super Hugging.

What is the Pledge to the 8 Safety Agreements?

The Pledge to the 8 Safety Agreements is a peace treaty that facilitates equality and understanding between individuals in their effort to fulfil their need for platonic human affection while supporting others in doing the same. It is as follows:

As a Super Hug Club Member, I pledge to always:

1 - Gain Consent - request and gain consent before engaging in a Super Hug.

2 - Self-Inquire For Consent - make a genuine self-inquiry to determine availability to give consent when requested.

3 - Speak My Truth - be honest in providing consent or refusal.

4 - Never Push - receive refusals with grace and refrain from pressuring anyone into consenting to a Super Hug.

5 - Disengage if Disregarded - disengage from interaction with anyone who disregards my refusal.

6 - Keep My Hands Still - keep my hands in a static position above the waist until I am ready to signal for release with a tap.

7 - Remain Silent - refrain from speaking and practice being present through the five-second inhale and exhale during a Super Hug.

8 - Release Once Signaled - release my partner when I receive the signaling tap, even if before 20 seconds.
