[quote]A lot of people like to snuggle and cuddle, but Jacqueline Samuel, from New York’s Rochester area, actually opened her own business charging $60 for an hour’s worth of non-sexual cuddling and snuggling.
There are moments in life when you feel the need to cuddle, but you have no one to do it with. That’s where 29-year-old Jackie Samuel comes in. Last month she set up The Snuggery, a unique business that offers total strangers the chance to snuggle and cuddle with Jackie, for $60 an hour. “What I like to do is cuddle, so I figured it was a good thing to do. A lot of people didn’t like the idea so I figured it would be kind of an underground small-scale operation and provide a little extra income,” the young entrepreneur says. But her nutty idea already started attracting national attention and she’s already been featured on FOX, CNN and is set to make an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
Jackie started thinking about a business centered around cuddling at the start of grad school, and says she and her sisters even tried selling hugs on the street for $1 each, making up to $80 per day. And although she hasn’t been able to get certified as a professional cuddler, the University of Rochester graduate has studied the “Cuddle Sutra” and is versed in over 100 non-sexual positions. Still most of the time, she and her clients start out by spooning. Some of her affection-seeking customers (all men) have questioned her about getting some extra attention, but Samuel says most of them respect her boundaries.
o make sure there are no misunderstandings about what goes on during her cuddling sessions, Jacqueline has added a Q&A section where she tries to clarify the most important issues:
Q. Do we meet before we snuggle?
A. Yes, we do meet briefly prior to snuggling in order to make sure that we’re both comfortable and that our expectations are compatible.
Q. What if I become sexually aroused during my session?
A. Don’t worry, it happens! Although sexual activity is not permitted, arousal is perfectly normal and should not make anyone feel uncomfortable.
Q. Do clothes/pajamas always stay on for the duration of our session?
A. Absolutely! Nudity is not permitted.
ccording to The Snuggery site: “Jacqueline established The Snuggery because she believes in the healing power of touch. The Snuggery is a place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of life and focus on the simple restorative pleasure of touch. Though science has unquestionably supported the psychological and physical benefits of non-sexual touch, Americans distinctly lack it. It’s time for change. At The Snuggery, Jacqueline provides individuals with private snuggling sessions. She aims to make the world a gentler place, one snuggle at a time.”
Although Jackie and her cuddling partner are alone together in a room, there are more people present in the house, for security reasons.[/quote]

Thats cool, but too expensive.
sadly, in my country there is no such thing, so I still have to pay for hookers.
lol people are actually believing this crap
I wonder if it were a guy, see how that would turn out
Didn't somebody on facepunch pay a hooker for a hug?
I'd rather take hugs from someone holding a sign that says FREE HUGS than pay $60 thank you very much.
I can't stop laughing!

Yeah, and she turned out to be an undercover cop. The team came in after she gave the signal when he asked for a hug, and they just told him to go home.

I forget who but I've seen someone with a title for that.
I have something similar to this.
It's called "Gift Megafat games!"
It costs however much you want, but don't tell me you have an erection if you have one. That will cost you extra.

It was proven a copypasta off 4chan.

And yet it is still the go to for forever alones defining their social lives.
Sounds like something for me.
Reminds me of the person that paid a hooker for a hug.

I think that was just a copypaste from somewhere.
Nope I wrote it myself.
Best job in the world.
What happens if you get a boner?

This will become a contest to see who the first man is that can convince her to break her boundaries about not having sex with her client.

Just become a regular client and start paying tip.
Whatever she's charging, it isn't enough for how weird and awkward it must be.
If she was the worlds only dinosaur or dragon it might be worth paying
it's not worth it if she's just a common human though.
I live in Rochester too, was all over the news and radio. A lot of my friends know her too, I don't know how well this will work out for her...
the picture of the girl in the article, I'd cuddle the fuck out of her.

The video in the article says she is into real estate.
She isn't even that good looking, and she looks like she's all bones. Does it even feel nice to snuggle with someone who has 0% fat on her?

I bet snuggling with her would feel far better since she's all soft, ya know. And I wasn't talking about sex, idiot.

I like being able to hold my girlfriend in my arms completely, to be honest.
And, I think you missed the joke.
She said that she likes having a [U][I]ton[/I][/U] of sex or something.
