Frequently Asked Questions

A. No. The cuddlers on CAPC are very strict on the “No sexual activity policy.” There are plenty of other places you can get sexual services.

A. Yes, you will even get changed in a separate room. Nudity is strictly prohibited.

A. Wear something comfortable. Pyjamas are a good example. During a normal cuddling session, men and women must wear pants and a shirt. During a ‘skin-to-skin’ cuddling session, men and women wear shorts while the women also wear a short top. Some thin clothes are better to feel the touch.

A. The rules are there to permit the cuddler and the cuddlee to feel safe and comfortable, which are essential for you to have fun.

A. Depending on the cuddler, some will prefer meeting you in a public place. You may ask to discuss 5 minutes over the phone or Skype. If you don’t feel comfortable with your cuddler you can cancel the cuddling session with a complete refund.

A. Don’t worry, it happens! Although sexual activity is not permitted, arousal is normal and should not make anyone feel uncomfortable. However, getting aroused on purpose is not permitted (described in the Client’s Agreement).

A. Yes, talking or not is completely up to you. However, silence will allow the cuddlee to focus on the cuddler’s touch and fully appreciate the cuddling session.

A. The cuddlers signed an oath to the effect that your privacy is extremely important. What the cuddlee said in their session, their identity and their personal information stay confidential unless safety is compromised.
The sessions are filmed for safety purposes, they are transferred onto a separate hard drive. They are not put up on the internet. No filming is necessary when there are other people at the place of cuddling (e.g. roommates at the house of the cuddler).

A. Yes, they can as a person, not as a professional. They should only give advice when you ask for it. You may prefer to consult a counselor or psychologist if you need advice on your life.

A. You will most probably feel better psychologically and physically. Cuddling and being comforted are both soothing. You can read the benefits page. However, they are not meant to resolve major problems. Do not trust anyone who promises to heal you from a serious disease.

A. Tips are more than welcomed. Cuddling is a service more engaging than going to a restaurant. However, Cuddlers prefer another session with you or a good referral over tips.

A. Mostly! In rare circumstances, some cuddlers have restrictions specified on their page. Unless specified, the cuddlers are opened to cuddle with all genders and sexual orientation. We want both cuddlers and cuddlees to feel comfortable. If you are not accepted as a client, you should be fully reimbursed.

A.  If you want to do anything else such as play video games or board games, have a meal, the cuddler may accept at their discretion. Some cuddlers do platonic companionship. The CAPC does not restrict non-sexual activities.

A. We ask that you shower and brush your teeth before the appointment. If you did not have the time to take a shower, you can ask the cuddler if you can use their shower if it is at their residence. Because they may have another client scheduled, this time counts as part of your cuddling session. We also ask that you avoid perfume and cologne. A cuddler may refuse to provide their services to clients with too strong body odor. In that case, the client will be fully refunded.

A. One alcoholic beverage per hour is acceptable. The Cuddlers can refuse to provide any services if you are intoxicated. This should be considered a late cancellation, and the client should be responsible for the cuddler’s transportation fee.

A. Cuddling a stranger can be demanding service. Cuddling is more intimate than a massage and comforting is taxing emotionally. While it is true that massage therapists or psychologists go through university to get their skills, cuddlers need to naturally possess the rare skills of being able to genuinely care for all human beings and being able to transmit this affection. However, as the first professional cuddler, Jaqueline, who has set the price said, “even if I know that the service is worth more, we have to make the service available first.”

A. You may ask once. However, asking more than once could put the cuddler in a difficult situation.

A. No. Anywhere where you will feel comfortable. It could even be a public place or a hotel room if the cuddler accepts.

A. Some training is available on the website which includes: 1. ethics and professionalism, 2. cuddling skills 3. dealing with people in crisis and self-defense.
There is no formal training that is more than 20 years old since cuddling is a new trend. Beware of people who are claiming they are gurus or that they received professional accreditation. The title does not mean that they are good nor bad. The main skills of a cuddler remain their personal skills such as being caring and compassionate, which are hard to learn. This is why we hope cuddlees will report cuddlers who should not be practicing due to lack of professionalism of lack of caring.

While the well-being of the cuddlee is the CAPC’s goal, the safety is paramount. Filming the session protects everyone against false allegation. Currently, the law against prostitution allows the arrest of clients and we want to protect you from these allegations as well. We know our services are legal and needed, but we understand some people may have suspicions. However confidentiality is also our top concern. This is why the film is not transferred via the Internet and stored on a separate hard drive. The filmed session is kept only for two weeks, to wait if any complains arise.

To avoid being filmed, there is also the option of meeting with the cuddler 15 minutes in a public space paid at the same rate as cuddling. Either can refuse to cuddle if they feel unease with the other person.

No filming is necessary when there are other people at the place of cuddling (e.g. roommates at the house of the cuddler).

A. Most people are because of all the stigma related to it. However, you’ll see that it usually disappears after five minutes in the cuddlers’ arms. Cuddling, even a stranger, feels good!
