Client says Arizona massage therapist's 'cuddling' session turned sexual

[Danke]

PHOENIX – In new age America, if you need emotional comfort, you can pay someone to cuddle you.
It's legal and unregulated.
But where do you complain if a cuddling session goes too far?
A Phoenix woman says it happened to her in May when she visited an $80-a-session cuddle therapist and the session turned sexual. She wound up with the cuddler's nipple in her mouth for five minutes.









What do professional cuddlers do?

Professional cuddling – essentially paying someone to snuggle in a consensual, non-sexual manner – has been around about two decades. Professional cuddling can be one-on-one or in "cuddle parties," where people wear pajamas, eat snacks, chat and snuggle.
The theory behind cuddle therapy is that people feel increasingly isolated and disconnected. Many were raised in families where platonic touching was uncommon and suffer from "touch deprivation."

The comments are funny

The woman admitted in her complaint that in an early session with Woodward, she told the therapist it had always been her dream to be held naked by a woman.

She said Woodward told her she could do that, but that it was outside her boundaries as a cuddlist and "it would have to be between us."
...
Then Woodward told her time was up, "but I will give you five extra minutes for free."

So this was off the clock? The woman who requested this and then complained should be sued for damages.

Its funny that cuddling can even be a profession.

HB got to provide for himself now that his mother started charging rent.

Afterward, she said the woman smiled, said she was feeling "so good" and thanked Woodward. She scheduled another cuddle session for the next week.

So it was all consensual, off the clock activity... then..

The client said when she got home, the “severity” of what happened hit her, she believes Woodward took advantage of her.

I've still never gotten a straight answer on what the phrase "take advantage" really means, and this clouds it all up even more.

If they want to cuddle, they should get a dog.

Unregulated cuddling. Does [MENTION=40901]TheTexan know about this?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've reported this establishment as an unlicensed brothel and the staff as unlicensed therapists.

We'll see just how "unregulated" this actually is.

Quelle horreur!

That was entirely uncalled for.

Neg-rep.
