The snuggler

Jacqueline Samuel will snuggle with guests for $60 per hour in her New York cottage. She says she is "passionate about touch" and wants to bring "non-sexual touch" to America.


"The Snuggler" sounds like a Batman villain. But it's actually Jacqueline Samuel, age 29, who is now pushing the boundaries of the massage industry by providing full-body snuggles.

"Really, what I'm really offering is my presence, and my body being present next to another person's body," says Jacqueline.

Her business is called the Snuggery, and for $60, she will lead you upstairs in her little cottage outside Rochester, NY for a snuggle.

"The bottom floor has a TV, a big fireplace, and couches, and a table. Upstairs is where most of the snuggling happens and that has essential oils, and lavender burning, and a bed," says Jacqueline.

And once upstairs, you will both put on pajamas, and snuggle - non sexually - for an hour. Hugging is fine. Use of the legs is okay.

"Leg snuggling - absolutely. Frequently, when we're facing each other, our legs are intertwined," says Jacqueline.

It's perfectly fine as long as it stays non-sexual. But what if the snuglee's reflexes take over?

"Arousal happens, and it's a normal physiological response, you can't really do anything about it. I'm just very clear about the boundaries," says Jacqueline.

Describing herself as a small woman, Jacqueline would seem to open herself up to unsafe situations, but she says her clients are perfectly considerate.

"I've never had a problem, I've never felt unsafe," says Jacqueline, "I've never even been borderline feeling that way."

It's all perfectly innocent. Although I did ask whether her married clients tell their wives that they innocently spent an hour at her place snuggling non-sexually.

"I can only speculate, but I would say no," says Jacqueline.

    This person has taken her profession to the hooking level and simply backed it off a couple of clicks.

    For $60 bucks an hour you better be doing the Watusi on my spinal column and kneading every single kink out of my neck!

    Real massages are great. This ain't it. More like...

    Golden spooning?

    Just how old ARE you, roomtemp?

    Sure, a lot of us here are over 65, but still can use getting a kink out of some part other than the neck. ... But that might be more than $60/hour.

    Let's see, within two minutes of snuggling my sword is unsheathed and drawn and now would have 58 minutes to avoid assault with a friendly weapon. Yeah right.

    It's actually non-genital sexual contact.

    Evidence: "Arousal happens".

    There can be sexual communication between people that doesn't involve genital intercourse. This would seem to be an example.

    Sounds like a job for the 'No Fun' police

    Most complaints about hookers is because they walk around in public and leave nasty things laying around. Then there are the drugs and violence associated with that. The worst part is of course the under-age girls in internet and print ads. None of the above are even remotely associated with what Ms. Jacqueline is doing. Snuggle on, I say.
