Whats the difference
Time investment, monetary exchange, and genuine friendship.
I think that's all.
Pro's are indicated by this tag at the top of their profiles:
Pro's charge for a service and are there to meet your platonic touch needs. Most established Pro's require a video chat, before booking. You schedule cuddles with them through the Request to Book button, and online chit-chat is typically discouraged.
Enthusiasts do not charge and cuddles are expected to be much more 50-50 effort. Messaging is encouraged and often extensive, to get to the cuddling stage with an enthusiast, as they are looking for genuine friendship connections. You set up times however works for the both of you.
There's a ton of good information in the FAQ, here:

Ground control we seem to have an embedded word scramble in the title. Porno with an extra “n” seems to be the answer.
Funny. @TxTom and @SunsetSnuggles I’m a mix between the two. I was an enthusiast for a long time, and just switched to pro recently. I want to chat on here, to get to know a person first, to see if we will be a good fit. I’m all for genuine friendship. Yes, I may be getting paid, but I do care about the person I’m cuddling. I do this as one of my part time jobs, and I love cuddling. If I don’t continue as a pro one day, I’ll still continue to cuddle.
Pros have a sixth finger they use for massaging.
@CuddleHugs01234 I love that!! 😍
I'm super curious why you stayed an enthusiast during the initial months, and what made you decide to switch to Pro? (No need to answer, or feel free to answer in PM, if you prefer! 😊)
Always love seeing girls who take time to soak in the environment here and learn about the community rather than those who join and immediately apply for Pro and don't know anything that's going on. 😆 Props to ya!!!
@SunsetSnuggles Sure, I’ll pm you.
I still haven’t found the answer, can a Pro change their membership to become an Enthusiast? No longer a Pro, no longer charging, and receiving equal cuddling.
@carrieanne I think just send an email to the contact us page on the home page and let them know you’d like to be an enthusiast now.
@carrieanne yes, they can. I did 😅 I messaged mods about it and they reverted my status.
You have to be careful handling former clients here. Per the pro contract, we have a non-compete for 1 year post ending our pro status, so any clients you gained through CC you technically can no longer can charge/book off-site. You can continue seeing them as enthusiast equals, but cannot advertise to them or otherwise treat them as clients any more.
I only had one regular client on CC at the time, so it wasn't too much of a hassle for me thankfully. I agreed to keep seeing him as friends because he's wonderful and our cuddle dynamic is still mutually beneficial, but had I had more active clients on the site it would have been more messy.
Enthusiasts here can still be pros off-site, they just can't advertise or "poach" clients from here. I ended up putting a disclaimer at the top of my profile because I still had a bunch of people contacting me to "book". I'm very careful with how I communicate with people here to make sure boundaries are maintained and so that I don't accidentally breech the non-compete. Since most of my clients were gained locally from events and word-of-mouth, the transition here for me hasn't been bad, but I imagine it could be next to impossible for those more active here.
Pros respond non pros don’t.
@CuddleHugs01234 @cuddlefaery Thanks and I didn’t realize it would be that easy. I’m on the verge….
@carrieanne You are welcome. PM’ing you.
@claaah9 pros require money. That's the only difference. They need not have any training, experience, or care any more about people than the dollar sign. Some are good some are not, but the same goes for enthusiasts.
Biggest difference is the type and amount of whining men do about them
@pmvines My data suggest that you are correct.
@pmvines we need to resurrect that old cuddle comfort bingo thread. I know I’d have bingo by now 😂
@OhioMike DO IT !!!
@pmvines words of wisdom I can always count on. Unfortunately a lot of people don’t want to read them.
@carrieanne Awe thanks , unfortunately the truth can be kinda ugly sometimes and those who get mad at it the most tend to be the ones who see themselves the most within the ugliness in that truth
@pmvines two bangers in a row. You're on a roll! ⭐⭐⭐
@cuddlefaery I can always count on you to not think I'm a dick 😂
@pmvines just the right amount of dick 😂 wouldn't want you to be a "nice guy ™️", afterall
@cuddlefaery So, just the tip?
@pmvines Most pros say tips are appreciated
@BoomerSpooner but never expected
@pmvines Of course. Are you a big tipper?
🤣🤣🤣 ~ love this thread!!!
@BoomerSpooner Depends on the weather @quixotic_life And the threads love you , so glad to see you !
@pmvines @BoomerSpooner surprise tips are never consent tips. @cuddlefaery i get that "compliment " all the time but I've always wondered how to take it, just right always seems to be barely average, i have a big problem with being barely average.
Ok enough with my games with words
