Safety First

Your safety is our top priority. Read these essential guidelines to ensure positive and secure cuddling experiences.

Before Meeting During Session Boundaries Red Flags Safety Checklist Reporting

Verify & Communicate

  • Video chat first: Always have a video call before meeting in person to verify the person matches their profile photos.
  • Share your plans: Tell a trusted friend where you're going, who you're meeting, and when you expect to return.
  • Use our verification features: Encourage your cuddle partner to verify their identity through our platform.
  • Check reviews: Review their profile, karma score, and feedback from other members.
  • Trust your instincts: If something feels off, cancel the meeting. You're never obligated to follow through.

Choose a Safe Location

  • Meet in public first: Coffee shops, parks, or other public spaces are ideal for first meetings.
  • Don't share home addresses: Never share your home address until you've established trust over multiple meetings.
  • Have an exit strategy: Know how you'll leave if you feel uncomfortable (drive yourself, have ride share app ready).
  • Daytime meetings: Schedule first meetings during daylight hours when possible.

⚠️ Important Warning

Never share personal contact information (phone number, home address, workplace) before meeting someone in person. Always communicate through our platform until you've established trust.

Stay Aware & Communicate

  • Stay sober: Never cuddle under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  • Keep clothes on: All cuddling should be done fully clothed.
  • Check in regularly: Ask "Are you comfortable?" throughout the session.
  • Respect "no": If someone says no or stop, respect it immediately.
  • Keep your phone accessible: Have your phone nearby in case of emergency.

Session Boundaries

  • No sexual touching or suggestive behavior
  • No kissing on the lips
  • No touching under clothing

How to Set Clear Boundaries

  • Communicate early: Discuss boundaries before meeting, not during the session.
  • Be specific: Clearly state what's okay and what's not okay.
  • Use "I" statements: "I'm comfortable with [x], but I'm not comfortable with [y]."
  • Practice saying no: It's okay to say no to anything that makes you uncomfortable.
  • Don't feel pressured: You can change your mind at any time, even mid-session.

Sample Boundary Scripts

  • "I'm comfortable with side cuddling and back rubs, but I'd like to keep clothes on at all times."
  • "I prefer to meet in a public place first before considering private sessions."
  • "I'm not comfortable with kissing or intimate touching."
  • "I need to keep my phone accessible during our session."
