My Life's Journey to Creating
Men’s Touch Workshops & One-On-One Sessions
I can trace my awareness of being different back to an early age. During a Christmas visit with family friends, I remember having a "crush" on twin brothers. This wasn’t the typical camaraderie between boys—it was something deeper. As an adult, when I asked my mother how old I was during that visit, she confirmed I was only four. That memory convinces me today: My Creator beautifully made me this way... as a man who loves men. But it took me decades until I finally embraced this truth.As a 16-year-old Roman Catholic, I felt a calling to the priesthood. But because I was aware of my same-sex attraction, I resolved that I could never honorably enter the seminary. I prayed relentlessly that God would take this “cross” from me. Instead, life unfolded in ways I could not have predicted.At twenty-three, while studying abstract expressionism in New York City, I fled to Phoenix, Arizona, overwhelmed by fears of what “becoming” gay might mean for me if I stayed in New York. In Phoenix, through a Roman Catholic faith community, I met my future wife. Before we began dating, I told her I was bisexual, and that I had a same-sex experience in college. Neither of us fully understood what that meant at the time. We married in 1987, built a life together, and raised three amazing daughters. Despite more than 30 years of marriage filled with both joys and struggles, I carried a deep sadness because I was trying to live as someone I wasn’t—the corporate career-driven head of a heteronormative “nuclear family” household.Along the way, I made mistakes. Early in our marriage I was unfaithful with a man, something I confessed to my wife and promised never to repeat. But I was still ashamed and dejected. By 2009, my wife finally confronted me: “Kevin, I’m tired of you being unhappy. Figure it out, or I will have to take the girls and leave.” That moment was a turning point. Within a week, by divine grace, I was introduced to two transformative experiences: The Mankind Project’s New Warrior Training Adventure (MKP.org) and the Journey Into Manhood (JIM) weekend, which at the time was framed as a “reparative” workshop for men with unwanted same-sex attraction.It was during that latter experience that I realized what I wanted in order to honor my wedding vows: Healthy, platonic male touch and connection. That insight led me to create my first men’s cuddle group in Jacksonville, Florida in 2008. Years later, after relocating to Pennsylvania, I founded the Plymouth Meeting (greater Philadelphia area) men’s cuddle group, which grew to more than 20 weekly participants. We initially met in the library of a church led by a compassionate pastor who understood the power of safe touch.Through these workshops, I have witnessed the incredible healing that man-to-man platonic touch can bring. I have tear-stained shirts from embracing men who had never before experienced safe, nurturing touch from another man. Many were carrying the wounds of physical or sexual abuse. In those moments, I felt as though my arms were God’s arms, offering comfort and healing.One memory that has never left me is of a married (to a woman) father of two who joined our Jacksonville group. He was a gentle, faith-filled, compassionate man, but after a lapse into homosexual behavior outside of his marriage, his wife left with their children. Shortly after, he took his own life. That tragedy shook me to the core. I vowed then that no man should ever feel so ashamed, isolated, or hopeless. I committed to making myself available, offering safe spaces of connection and counselling so no other life would be lost to silence and despair.In 2022, another profound experience deepened my clarity about who I am. While traveling in Guatemala with friends we participated in a psilocybin journey led by a local shaman. During that six-hour experience I was shown the sacredness of my wife’s womb, the beauty of the souls (three daughters) we had created together, and the truth that our relationship had reached its natural closure. When I returned home, I told my wife that I needed to live authentically—as a man who loves men. With heavy hearts, we parted ways. Because of her deep compassion for others, she and my adult daughters never shamed me; instead, after some initial sadness and some anger, they support me.Today, as a gay child of God, I bring all of these life experiences—my faith, my mistakes, my marriage, my healing, and my calling—into my role as the founder and facilitator of Men’s Touch Workshops. I know firsthand the pain of longingness and the hunger for safe, affirming connection. I also know the transformative power of being held, accepted, and loved without judgment.My mission is simple: To provide men with safe, platonic spaces for touch and connection—environments where healing can begin, shame can be released, and hearts and even souls can be restored.

Nearly two decades of helping men!
Kevin's Cuddling & Platonic Touch Group Workshops began in 2008 with the final group event held in February of 2025.
I've retired from leading these groups and now offer 1:1 sessions plus Men's Intamacy Retreats with my good friend Kyle Hoffman.
For Kyle's & Kevin's Clothing-Optional Retreats,
please contact Kevin at 610-559-4406.
Kevin's final cuddle workshop: February 2025, Ft. Lauderdale, FL.
From light-hearted to deeply soul enriching, Kevin's workshops have helped men get the touch they need from 2008 and ending in 2025.Featured in a Philadelphia Inquirer article (link below), and showcased on SiriusXM Radio, Kevin created space that helps satisfy deep longings and touch deprivation by leveraging “The Three A's”: Acceptance, Affirmation and Affection.• These events created a beautiful, opportunity for clothed, peer-to-peer, brotherly and fatherly touch.
• Touch processes were coupled with an intention which integrates the physical, intellectual and emotional self.
• The ground rules made it clearly platonic, eliminating the sexual pressure or expectations sometimes encountered when men pursue touch with each other.
I am currently offering (1) one-on-one cuddling and touch sessions and (2) weekend physical and emotional intimacy retreats with Kyle Hoffman.
