Any good experiences with Cuddle Up?

[Chessmen]

I clicked on the link advertised here to Cuddleup.com and it looks like there are lots of decent choices in the Vancouver area for $50/ hr onwards just for cuddling. Maybe Perb should have a review category just for "Cuddlers" as well since they aren't exactly escorts or massage providers.

I already found a few attractive cuddlers and think it would be an alternative to this hobby since it'll save me money and be comforting

Edit: shoot, cuddleup asks you to become a premium member for $10 a month before you can message providers

I feel like I'll just get a boner and blue balls for the entire session...

I was curious based on this post. I browsed thru some of the ads. I recognized some of the girls advertising from their pics on LL These girls were all in the $$$$ (100+) category. My suspicion is that most if not all of the 100+ girls offer something above standard cuddling. I could see some girls transitioning from cuddling to escorting as they get offered larger funds. In some ways it makes sense for the girls to go thru this service since they can set up initial "date" as a cuddle date and only offer additional services if they are not creeped out by the guy.

On a cautionary note, some of the girls look very young (18). I hope they know what they are getting into.

Weird, Perb removed my review on my first cuddling experience on another post. Maybe I should have posted cuddling reviews under "Massages". I got a few of your messages so it seems that some of you found it informative

Your review was moved to the "Massage Reviews" section of the forum:

No interest in paying someone to cuddle with, but if I actually did, I'd probably ask myself, "What the fuck am I doing here?"

I would be willing to try this out, probably end up with a crush on the person more than if it was a SP since you don't get the whole cake.

The purpose of the "cuddle movement" has nothing to do with sex work so they probably don't like being under the same umbrella as sex workers. It may encourage men to push for sexual services or think they can touch sexually. Some sex workers may also offer non sexual cuddling as well and like to keep them separate. Just a thought.

Electra,

You tend to make such inciteful posts, it's most enjoyable to read them.

You have here touched on something I am rather curious about. When I first came to this board I actually was researching someone who originally was advertising on Cuddleup, and in some ways that really is my main interest...

When a SP offers a range of services that includes non-sexual cuddling or massage without release, those services are usually offered at far lower rates compared to GFE as an example. How do SP view those services? Are they considered a loss leader more or less just to attract new clients, and does the SP feel taken advantage of because they are not making their normal GFE rate? Or does the SP enjoy being able to work in a bit safer environment, and perhaps a less stressful one because the expectations are lower? In non-sexual cuddling I would think that the nurturing tends to flow both ways a bit more as well?

I'm sure the way an SP's feel about these services is quite varied as its a relatively personal question. Thoughts?

Electra,

Thank you very much for you detailed response. It's somewhat refreshing to find someone that has the patience, interest, or ability to communicate so well and so clearly.

What you said about true non-sexual cuddling fits what I understood about it as well. I have to admit that I find the concept quite interesting, though I also think that it would take some practice and perhaps retraining to not immediately equate intimacy in such an environment with sex. It's somewhat sad that our culture has warped natural human contact so that the healing nature of nurturing cuddling is more or less non-existent.

Of course I also generally relate FAR better to women, and tend to have far more non-sexual female friends than I do male friends. I would find male-male cuddling fine for someone else to do, but extremely uncomfortable for me. I'm not sure what that says about my personality. Couple that with my appreciation for female breasts, large and small, and I am sure a psyc major would have a field day with me LOL.

Perhaps I'm what most in this community would consider a real square, but I've been seeing an RMT for close to two decades now. While I find it works best if I am naked under my draping, I have never suggested moving beyond a strictly professional, non-sexual relationship with them. It's natural to develop a friendship of course, but that again is different from sexual or romantic relationship. Regardless, for me, deep tissue massage is a therapeutic modality that works better for me than any other treatment including chiropractic, and perhaps from that perspective it's important that I guard the relationship.

That said, I do have an extremely strong sex drive, so I completely understand how one could enjoy bridging the two, it's just not something I have done to date. With the right person, in the right circumstances and with a clear understanding between the parties I could see the progression or overlap being most enjoyable indeed.

I appreciate your comment that an SP wouldn't normally offer a service that they don't want to provide. I suppose realistically, most SP's probably end up offering more services of a sexual nature than they prefer if anything, rather than the reverse, due to the "horney people with money" aspect driving things forwards.

Thank you again for all of your thoughts. They do indeed help

You asking about the experience? From the cuddler's point of view the experience is good! Shame I am not using facebook, I'd share this service.

 

[old pooner]

I have had 1 experience with a cuddler and it was great.

 

[badbadboy]

Spooning would soon turn to groping with me. Where else are you supposed to place your hands?

I get this whole "wellness" movement with body, mind and spirit. You go for therapeutic massage, do relaxation whether in a group setting or one on one etc. Thing is it is usually a professional running it whereas with the cuddling its most likely a non professional who may have read a book on non sexual body healing .

It was with a girl named Trish (Twiffles on CuddleUp). She charged $60 (now its 80). I went to her apartment and she was the sweetest young lady. Very beautiful and she has a degree in psychology. We just cuddled on the couch for an hour and talked.

she is pretty sweet, and put her psychology degree in good use...too bad that she is wrapping up her cuddling service...my experience with her has always been great which makes other cuddlers average

 

[Guidolovesit]

Can you pm me her contact after the Ashley Madison stuff I would rather not register

 

[Cami Parker]

That's exactly what I was going to say. I see people talking about it on FB or whatever and they don't even realized they're being advertised on this board. I mean the company says its so innocuous, but then they buy a banner on perb?

You have to pay to use this service as cuddle ( E).
Thats just a hassle. If you don't choose someone you still get charged.

 

[Larry Storch]

No experience with it.
I do get a kick out of the ads with the very low cut tops, bikinis and lingerie asking $100+ per hour and stating NOTHING sexual.
Covert SP ad perhaps?

i've been on cuddleup for a couple months and had a few experiences. there's a variety of girls there and it seems each has her own boundaries and each session its own mystery.

generally speaking, if what you want is sex, or even an hj, it's not the place for you. i'm not saying it can't be had on there - but if you get it, it will surely be more expensive than an AMP. what it does offer over the more traditional sex trade is human interaction and intimacy.

btw i was previously snowmonger on here so perb veterans may remember me back in the day before i was banished and more recently as JRod but my hard drive crashed and I had my passwords and other privacy stuff poof gone so I can't seem to login as JRod anymore.
