Snuggle house

    A new business venture in the US sees customers pay for a relaxing cuddle.
    But the Snuggle House in Madison, Wisconsin, is already coming under close scrutiny from city officials amid concern about the exact nature of the business.

    Customers at the Snuggle House can embrace professional cuddlers for about £36 an hour, and supporters say the business helps people relax through non-sexual touch.

    But city officials suspect the Snuggle House may be a thinly-veiled brothel and cuddling will lead to sexual assault. Police say they are planning sting operations at the premises to check what actually goes on.

    It's unclear whether the Snuggle House is still open. No one was at the business Saturday. A Facebook page claiming to be the Snuggle House's site says it is closed, but Hurtado and his attorney have not responded to repeated requests for confirmation.

    AFAIK if the cuddle house were to point cameras at people they could call it filming porn and it's no longer a brothel.

    I read the OP and thought "WTF? The cuddle business is huge in the US, and who doesn't feel good after a cuddle?", then clicked the linked article...



    Decidedly creepy stock photo right there.
