I read an article a while back about a woman in New York who is offering  non-sexual cuddle sessions at $80/hr that caused quite a stir in online forums.   This got me thinking about a few things.  First,  for all you legal scholars out there,  at what point does paying for a woman's time constitute prostitution since the definition of sex can be quite subjective to different people  (such as a former Commander in Chief)  At the same time,  does anyone think there's any market for professional cuddling sessions?   And for the providers here,  have you ever had a guy just want to hang out and cuddle or talk?  Did they pay full rate?

I also used to see someone who had had prostate surgery so intercourse wasn't possible. Only mutual masturbation was possible, and talking of course.  

You may not think so because it's knocked so frequently on the boards, but.. There are plenty of men who enjoy it.

- In MY opinion, I think not. LOL The discussion for non-sexual services has been discussed many times before and hasn't gotten anywhere, at least on this forum because of what 'it' stands for.

is as intimate as the act itself. The ladies that touch me as if they are really into me are the greatest ladies in the biz. I was reminded of this just the other day when I had an incredible orgasm that shook me to the core, while I was trying to compose myself, she gently caressed my chest, arms and face. It was incredibly soothing. I almost forgot I was paying her. (I actually did forget for a few seconds). Sometimes it's the little things that are the most memorable.

I would guess it wouldn't be a prostitution although I'm not sure if girls need to be contracting for a licensed adult entertainment club inorder to legally offer such services.

Cosette is correct.  If you read enough posts and reviews you'll find there are many guys who love to cuddle.  I'm not one of them, but I don't judge what others are supposed to like and dislike.
Taylor, this is an example of why people get annoyed with you.  Yes, it's YOUR opinion but it's expressed in a very judgmental and intolerant way.
I, too, provide professional cuddling services and suggest those interested check out my post further down the thread.

Yes, fellow members, I provide professional cuddling services for women.  Please view the attached infomercial and contact me right away.
Just remember, "she who cuddles, wakes up in a puddle.

I guess you just wanted to toss this out for Curly's benefit.  I guess you figure that Rod wasn't available to cuddle with his bestest bud.

At the risk of violating the TER policy against naming other sites, you will find my reviews on a board known as TCR -- The Cuddler Review.  They are all 10/10s because, as you can see, I am not fat and am a very snappy dresser.  The sombrero doesn't hurt either.
(now let's see if the doofus mods here think it's real and pull this post. LMAO!)

I see where Curly gave you that 10/10.  I didn't realize that it was a photo board as well  LOL

market research on such a thing here...but you are more than welcome to.

...you need to learn from a pro. LOL.

But you must have missed mine to think The Cuddler is second in looks to Stamos! The Cuddler Rules!

I'm not much into cuddling, as once the "action" is over, I just like to lie there and take in the beauty of the woman. I'll usually spend most of the last hour talking, while I run my hands over her curves, fondle her hands, breasts, etc. I just love the look and feel, almost as much as the sex.

1) Can you gain a little weight for our session? I like my guys cute and cuddly.

I like to lay on top a guy, have him scratch my back.
 I just do what feels right.
 When you do what you want to do you will always have success. If you find yourself doing things that are not enjoyable, thats when i switch it up. I cant do hard core multiple pops pse, all month, or month after month, i like to go on sabbatical and get psyched for it.  I personally get bored wicked easily. wicked.
 I love just laying on each other holding each other. mostly i like to lay my head on a guys chest completely rest dead weight and just be scratched, its so like easy and simple yet it makes me extremely turned on. More than anything! Being relaxed is key to a woman getting turned on. I swear if more guys begin a session by holding the lady like a strong man and just being really nice for min i swear it actually makes me reallly in mood. its like so normal too and not super freaky!
ifeel that the minute you solicite sex. it becomes illegal.  
 I feel the min you do a hand to hand transaction and agree to verbally do a sex act. i feel that equals sex for a fee and a crime. Two consenting adults are legally free to meet.
I had a cop come once and Well more than once and both times they told me, I actually like sensed it, Both times!
 the first time i got in car. thing is he never mention sex. And he never discuss money, Once we in he toss donation on dresser i pretend dont see it, grab later, i knew knew in my heart of hearts he was a police officer, drop dead gorgeous one at that.
      I kept saying you really look like a cop!
finally on way hom after our appt,  he says and guess what I am a cop!
 but he says hey we gotta have out fun too. he even knew not to mention sex for fee or hand to hand transaction or mention money.
I never seen him again  but i totally asked about how to avoid arrest. i also ask if he could give heads up if he know anything like ever. He actually said you know. As long as your quite your not gonna have issue, If we get a call theres a noise complaint and knock on door and theres a ton of girls in thier with dildos hangn from ceiling, .  
 he said you dont have anything to worry about.  
 A girl like me i have fun shop pay rent, i dont work enough to have a flashy car or flashy clothes my main purchases are spa fun supplies and expensive food.
 so i mean if your an asshole and havn 5 people in and out a fancy hotel that has actual customers that paid good money to reside in the hotel, your bound to get pinched, all it takes is one complaint,  
and i know if i was a hotel with my kids and seen a girl havn men in and out next door, i d be freakn bullshit? and scared for my kids with horny dudes in and out.  
 then workin and not mention money have disclaimer on site like i do.  
Had a second police appt experience at a massage parlor i worked in. AGAIN> I FREAKN KNEW RIGHT OF THE RIP!1
 only those two occasion and didnt i know it !
 the massage place had police stickers on front n back doors for that town, so i kinda knew thered be a few cops in for thier massages any how, but this one i totally knew it AGAIN, my animal like instincts from havn survived on outskirts society dancing providing massaging, i guess i can sense it, i say hey um uh, so. what do you do for work, dude goes, uuuum, dont wanna freak you out by telln you i am cop, he just got his massage no bother. and i expected a few would be customer as they gave thier stickers for the place.
                       i dont personally worry about arrest. I never had any problems unless i was actin the fool. and being drunk in public or a punk. {I went through that stage in 20 s } when i am quite , not greedy just like abide by the rule "you flash , you crash" i aint never had any any problem. with em.
 I can tell when i am under suspicion, time to time,  
 and will close shop weeks , at time,  
 when you see unmarked cars alot, or get alot calls askin way too much question,
if you been in game alot you gotta be keen to any thing "off": goin on,
 remebr few week ago boston boards?  
 that was a time to chill out, obvi,  
 if your aware you can tell. and cops need sex too, but if they keep sayn hey will you do a bj for 80? will you do gfe for 500?
 its a cop actually not out for good time, its a cop lookin to bust your ass.
 like wise clients that ask me these things i wonder when they will get cAUGHT! THEY ARE GUILTY ALREADY IF I WERE A COP AND A GUY CALL ME AND SAY HOW MUCH FOR GREEK FULL SEVICE GFE? THESE AINT CODE WORDS FOR US ANY LONGER.  
 I TRY N TELL THE GUYS FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY YOU GOTTA QUITE DOIN THAT, GOD FORBID YOU SAY THAT TO A DT, DONE! FINITO!
 THE GUYS GOTTA ALL BE AWARE THIS , I SEE ALL TOO MANY THAT MENTION SEX FOR FEE ON PHONES OR OVER AIRWAYS, I HEAR THEY GO AFTER THE JOHNS MORE?  
I GUESS WHERE I AM SO ESTABLISH SO MANY REVIEW , SO MANY YEARS, MAYBE THEY FEEL COMFORTABLE, I SAY IT ON WEB PAGE DONT TALK LIKE THAT TO ME.

Just b/c it's not a big seller on TER doesn't mean there's no audience. Cuddle sessions/cuddle parties are pretty common. And hell, who doesn't like a warm sexy cuddle?  

Have you ever considered maybe switching to decaf?

Don't start with the mangina crap.

Odd that this comes up..I was with my ATF recently.. we planned on being together for 6 hours.. but it was all almost just cuddling together and napping . she did give me an awesome BBBJCIM when we 1st got in bed.. but somehow we never got around to anything more.. and yes it felt great..to be with a woman that was glad to be with me..

Not really cuddling, but similar.  It was shortly after my first marriage broke up. I hadn't touched a woman in months.  Found a cat-house on the Upper East Side of Manhattan with a decent-looking blonde.  Got undressed and gave her the money.  She stripped down and the first thing we did was embrace, flesh to flesh, kneeling on the bed.  It had been so long I was shocked when my body started to convulse and shake with the sheer pleasure of feeling female flesh against mine again.
It never happened again but it was an intense moment.  So, while I'm not into cuddling any more, I do feel a bond with all you cuddlers out there.
It is I....
The Cuddler

but wanting to cuddle isn't what makes you mangina, I will confess, I like to wrap myself into the arms of a beautiful and willing woman too. I also like sex, and I doubt that I would go into a session simply for the cuddling, but I not going to criticize any other man who does.

It's your money, your life, and your choice. If you want to pay a woman to play bingo with you, I would support your right to do so.

I'm not a big fan of the word 'cuddle'...I 'cuddle' with my kids. So sounds silly to me to say I 'cuddle' with a grown man (well most of you that is LOL). Instead, I'll call it, "a peaceful moment between two, savored after an intense moment between two." How about that. 'That' moment is well, a natural thing for most after an intense moment is shared, at least that's how it happens with me. I do feel those who are incapable of sharing that 'peaceful' moment whether it be 5 min, 30 min or even an hour after....are truly missing out.
