A) are there cuddlers that do this for free or is a paid situation?
@latinguy86 go to the cuddlers section of the site between home and messages. There you can search for cuddlers based on a number of factors including exluding/including free and paid.
The majority of cuddlers don't charge but in some areas you may essentially be required to pay for cuddles due to lack of free cuddlers. As you're in a major city I doubt that'd be the case if you searched for a while.
The free cuddlers are obviously the ones that dont say pro on em?@Zundar?
