  • @Drea728: Gotcha. I guess the mods might be being extra careful on account of you're a pro? Maybe try throwing up some photos of you in your actual cuddle clothes, show off your space a little. I bet none of that'll get taken down (and if I'm wrong, geez, I'll need to find my most edible hat...).

  • @RockRollCuddle snitches get stitches 😜 either way, these are most likely other pro-cuddlers who like to sabotage. It’s all good…..☺️

  • Your just way to sexy for them..jealous

  • @yawbus3 considering this is a platonic site, I would be careful calling people sexy here. Careful, as in: don’t say it.

  • So we can't give compliments??? Aren't we all adults here??

  • @yawbus3: We can't give sexual compliments. Complimenting someone's taste, style, intellect, personality, etc—that's all A-OK!

  • @yawbus3 "So we can't give compliments??? Aren't we all adults here??"

    Would you go around calling your adult family members or young relative's teacher sexy? How about your friend's dad?

    "We're adults and just giving compliments" right?

    The site is for platonic connections, making sexually suggestive comments ahem "compliments", is therefore inappropriate.

  • @Sheena123
    I used to wonder why seeing someone in underwear is inappropriate, but being in a bikini Is appropriate when they are often more revealing.

    I guess the context is more important in this case. Society in large has decided that when you are near a public swimming area, minimal clothing is okay. Probably because it’s hard to swim in water with clothes unless they are skin tight.

    Society has also sexualized one gender’s chest over the other gender’s and that’s where some of the controversy in this thread is coming from.

    @yawbus3 yes we are all adults, and compliments are great. But this community is under constant attack from those who seek to sexualise cuddling, or conduct sexual activities disguised as cuddling. Consequently any inessential sexualising comment is inappropriate because it contributes to the undermining of our community.

    Furthermore, calling somebody sexy is only a compliment when they are attempting to be sexy. Since this is a platonic site, nobody here is attempting to be sexy. Calling anybody here sexy is therefore not a compliment, but an insult.

    PS - Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that you were attempting to be supportive, pleasant and helpful. It just didn't come out right on this occasion, which is a thing that has happened to us all. Well, me anyway.

  • I see nothing wrong with your pictures. I have talked to females who have taken a selfie with camera up high looking down. If their clevage is shown, the pics are gone. I think any type of curvy female has to be covered completely. I don't agree. But that's what it seems to be.

  • @sunnysideup yea, I’ve overlooked a lot of swimsuit photos. I have one on mine but I’m fully in the water so all you see is my face and shoulders. But I also have a pic up where I’m in a gondola in Venice wearing a white dress and with how large I am up top, I have a good amount of cleavage but the photo itself is no where near something sexual. So I don’t think having some photos up where there’s a bit of cleavage is wrong because cleavage is natural and will happen for some women in any outfit that’s less than a T-shirt. But I do think as soon as a women makes a kissy face and the photo is centred mostly on her chest, that’s wrong. Or if you have like, 8 photos up and all of them are just boob…. If women have some photos where you’re just living a normal day and it doesn’t have any sexual connotations, I see nothing wrong (unless all your photos are cleavage).

    I’ve reported every single “away from the beach” shirtless pic of guys. I’ve also had to report so many photos of men where you see a very clear, purposeful outline of their “manhood”. But the majority of men I’ve reported were of them just blatantly saying in their bio, they want sex…. With women, it’s more the sexual suggestion of photos so it does matter what you put up for photos.

  • @Drea728, on behalf of all red-blooded American males lemme say please don’t change! Let the haters hate and the judgy judge but keep doing you, beautiful 😊.

  • @Drea728: couple observations purely based on timelines.

    • your interaction with the person w/shirtless picture was 2 weeks ago. The said person hasn’t logged in 2 weeks which would mean the shirtless picture was probably on their profile then. So why raise the issue now?? Wasn’t shirtlessness and thereby underlying sexism a blatant violation for you then ?
    • You accepted the websites ToS and didn’t report it. So you complied in letting it stick around. Then why blame the system?
    • We as fellow users don’t know if/what pictures of yours were removed or if they complied with ToS. It’s your word we have to rely on.
    • And if your pics were removed, were they removed by a male or female moderator ?? Who reported it ? Was it the same shirtless pic user ??

    So calling it sexism is accusation without substance. I’d love to hear others users opinions on it.

  • Careful don't say beautiful... this site is
    very touchy...lol

    these are most likely other pro-cuddlers who like to sabotage.

    Or it could be the guy who left you retaliatory karma. Most of us pros look out for each other and don't need to compete or resort to sabotage to stay booked.

    The only time I report other pros is if they are blatantly offering non platonic services by advertising their OF or offering escort services.
    If anyone has a problem with that then they don't belong here either.

    We are therapeutic providers whose sex appeal should be moot. Comments like this are more acceptable on Tinder. Keep it there.

    @Drea728 , you agreed to the rules when you signed up. If they were unacceptable, you should not have joined the site.

    The only shirtless photos men are allowed to upload are if they are photos at the beach or a swimming pool. If they upload other shirtless photos, those are removed, too.

    The mods are not monitoring every single photo that is uploaded. We rely on members to report them.

    If you are not happy with the rules, you have choices: appeal to @Mark to change them or close your account and go to another site that has different rules. Simple. However, complaining about them here is neither appropriate nor is it professional.

  • Due to recent train wrecks on other threads, this is being closed. Whether the rules of this site are “fair” or not, they are the rules by which the site operates and need to be abided by. - Babichev

    When our government learns how to tax or make a profit off female nudity, it will no longer be expectable to discriminate against women in this manner. Double standards have always been the law in this country.
