You guys are adorable ❤️ My work here is done ya’ll
@Firebird97 Yes, pretty sure you've done enough.
I contacted a woman here in Colorado and she charges $100 per hour with a 2-hour minimum, plus a $50 travel charge. I have plenty of money, but I declined. I don't see the value. have noticed that many cuddlers are charging even more. I was in touch with someone else about an hour and a half @ $130 per hour, be she would only host and only accepts cash or Apple Pay. I don't carry that kind of cash and only use Zelle or PayPal, so that didn't work. I salute them if they are getting paid that much and can be that selective. We're in a good economy and people have a lot of money to spend. It will be interesting to observe how much rates rise over the next year.
I am so very nervous about doing this. However, reading some of these guidelines helped a bit.
Thank you
@Uniquecuddler69 just spend some time vetting them he probably looked up the terms or is really a enthusiast. If you are a pro... He's probably trying to use words he thinks are your industry terms. I think the argument over where he found it and if he meant anything weird by it can be figured out by just continuing to draw him out a bit.
@Dan5280 Prices of everything have gone up - groceries, gas, etc. - so of course cuddler rates are going to go up. In my experience, some cuddlers charge more than the average for their area because they are content with having only a small number of regular clients, and the higher prices discourage others. That said, $100 an hour is pretty much standard, it seems, and I have seen way higher than $130 an hour in some places (particularly metro areas).
Would like to be a professional cuddler
After being on for sometime now I find I am not the cuddle buddy candidate I thought. Most are too far, no longer accepting anyone due to (insert a reason), and/ or looking for a particular type (I get it, preference matters). Mostly i receive request from cuddler enthusiast who approach without even glancing at my profile (I guess it doesn't matter). I wish everyone luck and blessings to find the comfort needed. Peace & serenity to all future cuddlers.
Resources for a pro cuddler that was sexually assaulted?
@CuddlesWithCat First, I am sorry that you even have to ask (I'm assuming you were assaulted). I do not know what the laws are in Canada, but have you considered filing a police report? Here (in California) I can only assume the resources for one who has been sexually assaulted would be the same for a pro or an enthusiast.
@Immersedwarmth I thought about it but I have no evidence, I’ve reported a separate person for the same thing but it didn’t go anywhere then
@CuddlesWithCat you reported it to the police and nothing happened? That's awful.
@CuddlesWithCat what kind of resources are you looking for? If you are looking for someone to talk to I'm here for you. I don't have any professional experience or anything but... Metoo. Just not from this site. So if you want to talk about it. I'm here really.
Hi im new here and wanted to say hello and wish everyone well. Sending lots of love, hugs, and cuddles to my cuddle bugs 🐛 💖

What’s a typical cuddle session with a professional like? I’ve had two over the past 10 years. Both times the cuddler was pleasant, but in both cases we just layed next to each other and watched TV. With a professional I was hoping they would initiate cuddling, as I am very shy. They both were very nice and the appointments ended pleasantly. I was very respectful, hygenic, etc. I guess I should have asked them about cuddling, but again, I am very shy. Is this normal?
Wow, great advice
@Cuddles7Hugs IMHO , that is not normal at all. 🤦 As a pro, I always initiate first as I realize people might be shy or unsure how to begin. I"ll start by asking where they would prefer to cuddle, bed, floor, couch. What genre of music they would like playing in the background etc. then when they have got over their nerves and settled into snuggling... Only then do I start the clock, I appreciate that people have payed to have a session with me and I don't wish to waste their time. ☺️
@penguin34 thank you for responding and for your insights. So my experiences were not the norm. Maybe I should ask a future cuddler how they usually proceed in a session? Than you again for your help!
@Cuddles7Hugs I think its maybe more common that one would expect, but dont loose hope ! there are plenty of professionals here who are able to foster a safe and welcoming environment with a full healthy cuddling experience for even the most shy clients. In fact they are very excited to do just that. ( a personal thank you! to @FLCuddleQueen ) Ive personally been in both extremes, some while pleasant were just like your previous cuddles, and some that were just an amazing experience. I say dont give up! Spend some time reading profiles, asking questions, and having a bit of conversation before even suggesting a session. You will know when someone is being genuine with you.
Thanks @BluboySnugs I guess you never know what the experience will be like unless you talk a bit before scheduling. Thanks for the advice and encouragement.
Is it ok to put in my profile that I like giving and getting foot rub
@Bohemianguy I would suggest not doing that. This is a cuddle site, and there are certain things that tend to raise red flags, as they can be seen as attempts to push the boundaries.
That’s a quick way of putting your foot in your mouth. I would heed @JoyfulHeart ’s advice as he is a mod.
@Bohemianguy In other words, some people might consider that as foot fetish adjacent and would find it off putting.
I prefer people flash their fetishes. Makes them much easier to avoid.
So many people have questionable photos, usernames, or statements in their profiles, and upon being contacted by the mods, they simply remove the red flag. All that does is give everyone who visits their profile less accurate information to vet with.
