Limits of Prostitution

Waitaminute. I heard an interview with the entrepreneur behind the snuggling venture. He swears there was nothing but snuggling going on. There didn’t have to be, he was making money with snuggling. He trained his male and female employees on how to behave if clients pushed the envelope. He believes he was railroaded.

I was only reporting about the level of scrutiny that occurred. I have no idea what was actually going on.

IMHO there is a bit of an Ewww factor in paying to be snuggled by a stranger. But some guys pay to go down on a prostitute. Different strokes I guess.

There was a business recently in Madison, WI that was selling hugs for an hour and the authorities were all over them.

You must be referring to this news article or any similar article. Note that there are other similar businesses mentioned.

A Penfield, New York, woman has started a cuddle for hire business. She charges $60 an hour to snuggle.

The Snuggle House, a new business in Madison where customers can cuddle with young staff members for $60 an hour, postponed opening this week after failing to convince city attorneys it wasn’t a front for prostitution.
– The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, October 2013

And an article from several months ago about a similar entrepreneur somewhere in Oregon.

Let’s drop it. In the future just make it clear when you’re joking.

You’re joking, right?
