ARE WE READY FOR THE SNUGGERY?

Are we this desperate for money these days that we have to resort to lending our bodies out for snuggling to make a buck? That's what Jacqueline Samuel from Penfield, NY is doing, and from what I read, she's making a killing! I guess in this economy, we would go to great lengths in order to make some sort of cash. Well, Samuel came up with a brilliant idea to lend her body out for an hour of snuggling for a cool $60. You can't make this stuff up!

According to Samuel, there are different types of cuddling positions, but she typically always starts out with spooning. She runs her snuggling company, aptly titled,The Snuggery, out of her upstate New York cottage and opened only this past June. The 29-year-old entrepreneur said the non-sexual sessions vary, but she has a list of rules that customers must follow, including showering before appointments and no nudity. I have a question, though. What if both parties become aroused? Would the consensual sex cost more? Better yet, what if only one of her male clients becomes aroused and can't help himself and attacks her? How does she protect herself?

Samuel went on to say that she actually has straightforward policies in her business about where is okay to touch and where is not okay to touch. She also said that male and female customers ranging from 21 to 84 have forked over $50 for a 45-minute snuggling session and $90 for a 90-minute session. The University of Rochester graduate admitted that business has been booming since it kicked off in June. She's even had to hire a second snuggler to keep up with the demand of the snuggling.  

Samuel said that the snuggling service is perfectly legal. She also stated that cuddling carries many health benefits, which is a fact that doctors can back up. Regular human touch has been proven to release hormone oxytocin, which boosts people's happiness. One doctor backed Samuel up by saying, "There is an increase in your immune system, your ability to fight infection, and decrease inflammation." Plus, Samuel thinks that a lot of people don't have someone in their life that they can receive comforting touch from on a regular basis. Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this still prostitution without the sex? Also, how do we know that no sex is going on behind closed doors? I mean I don't care and good for her for coming up with a simple business idea, but to me, this sounds like a legal prostitution ring until they find out what's really going on. Guys get aroused when the wind blows. You’re going to tell me that none of her male customers have ever gotten aroused while cuddling? If they have, she's going to say nothing happened after that? Are we that dumb? I know I'm not! Great idea, though!
