Frequently Asked Questions

Professional cuddling is a platonic service where trained individuals provide comforting, non-sexual touch and cuddling sessions. It's designed to help reduce stress, alleviate loneliness, and provide human connection in a safe, boundaried environment.

No, professional cuddling is strictly platonic and non-sexual. It's a therapeutic service focused on providing comfort and human connection without romantic or sexual expectations. All sessions maintain clear boundaries and professional conduct.

People from all walks of life use professional cuddling services, including:

• Individuals experiencing loneliness or touch deprivation
• People going through difficult life transitions
• Those who want platonic touch without romantic entanglement
• Individuals with partners who have different touch needs
• People seeking stress relief and emotional support
• Individuals with Autism who benefit from structured, consensual touch experiences

Your safety is your responsibility. As a platform, we facilitate connections but cannot guarantee safety. We strongly recommend:

• Video verification: Always FaceTime or video call before meeting, especially with new providers
• Look for verified providers: Providers with a green check mark ✓ have had their identity and background verified by our staff
• Research your provider: Check reviews, profile completeness, and communication style
• Trust your instincts: If something feels wrong, cancel the session
• Inform others: Always tell a friend or family member where you'll be and who you're meeting
• Set clear boundaries: Discuss comfort levels and expectations before meeting

Professional cuddlers should also prioritize their safety:

• Share your schedule: Let someone know who you're meeting, the location, and session duration
• Screening clients: Conduct video calls before accepting new clients
• Emergency contacts: Have quick access to emergency numbers
• Session limits: Set clear time boundaries and stick to them
• Client verification: Consider only accepting clients with complete profiles and positive reviews
• Trust your intuition: You have the right to refuse service if you feel uncomfortable

All sessions must maintain strict platonic boundaries:

• No sexual contact, conversation, or innuendo
• Clothing remains on at all times
• No kissing, groping, or intimate touching
• Respect for personal space and comfort levels
• Either party can stop the session at any time for any reason
• Clear verbal consent for all touch
• Professional conduct at all times

Boundary violations are taken very seriously:

• End the session immediately if you feel uncomfortable
• Report the user through our platform's reporting system
• We investigate all reports and may permanently ban users who violate our terms
• In serious cases, contact local authorities immediately
• Leave honest reviews to warn other community members

Remember: You are your own first line of safety. The platform provides tools, but ultimate safety responsibility lies with each individual.

We believe in fair compensation for professional cuddlers. Unlike other platforms that take 15-30% of your hard-earned session fees (which can add up to hundreds or even thousands of dollars per year), we have a completely different approach:

Our membership is simple: one flat rate, everything included. No tiers, no hidden fees – just powerful tools to help you grow your cuddling practice.

Starting Friday, February 13, 2026, the signup process for professional cuddlers is simple and transparent:

• You create an account and select "Offer cuddling services".
• Immediately after registration, you will be redirected to our secure payment page powered by Stripe.
• There you can subscribe to the $20/month Professional Cuddler Membership using any major credit or debit card.
• Once payment is confirmed, your account is automatically activated and you can start building your profile and receiving bookings.

Why is this fee required? This $20/month membership is the only way we sustain the platform. It allows us to keep improving the site, provide safety resources, and maintain a high-quality experience – all while letting you keep 100% of your session earnings. There is no way around this fee; every professional cuddler on our platform contributes equally. Clients (regular users) never pay any fees – our service is completely free for them.

💡 Good to know: If you signed up during our launch period (before February 13, 2026) and claimed free lifetime access, you will never be charged. This only applies to new professional cuddlers registering on or after February 13, 2026.

While certification isn't mandatory, we highly recommend it. Certification programs provide essential training in:

• Boundary setting and communication
• Safety protocols and risk management
• Professional ethics and conduct
• Client assessment and session structuring

Certified cuddlers often attract more clients and can charge higher rates.

Consider these factors when setting your rates:

• Your experience and certification level
• Local market rates in your area
• Specialized services you may offer
• Session duration and location
• Your business expenses and goals

You can adjust your rates at any time in your profile settings.

You don't need any specific background to get started! Successful cuddlers come from diverse backgrounds including:

• Healthcare and wellness fields
• Education and childcare
• Customer service and hospitality
• Arts and creative fields
