Safety First

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

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
  • Respect personal space and comfort zones
  • No recording or photography without explicit consent

✅ Positive Signs

  • They respect your boundaries without question
  • They communicate clearly and openly
  • They arrive on time and prepared
  • They've completed profile verification
  • They have positive reviews from other members

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."

⚠️ If Boundaries Are Crossed

Say "stop" clearly and firmly. Leave immediately if you feel unsafe. Report the incident through our platform. You have the right to end any session at any time for any reason.

🚨 Stop Communication Immediately If You Notice:

  • Pressuring you to meet in private right away
  • Refusing to video chat before meeting
  • Making sexual comments or advances
  • Asking for personal contact information too soon
  • Being vague about who they are or what they want
  • Pushing your stated boundaries
  • Inconsistent stories or profile information
  • Asking for money or gifts before meeting
  • Wanting to involve drugs or alcohol
  • Dismissing your safety concerns

What to Do If You See Red Flags

  • Trust your gut: Don't ignore warning signs.
  • Cancel the meeting: You don't owe anyone an explanation.
  • Report the user: Use our reporting system to flag concerning behavior.
  • Block the user: Prevent further contact through our platform.
