Snuggle Shmuggle

For those looking for a good cuddle in Madison, Wisc., your worries are over. After weeks of delays, the Snuggle House is finally open. What does a Snuggle House offer? “Intimate, non-sexual touch,” said assistant manager Emily Noon. “There’s so many people who don’t have a significant other in their lives that just need to be held,” she says. City officials, however, were concerned that prostitution could occur there, but the Snuggle House has taken steps to prevent that, including signed contracts, video cameras in every room, and panic buttons. The city finally allowed the business to open, and Snuggle House is taking clients at $60 an hour. “We’re going to be watching the business very closely,” assistant city attorney Jennifer Zilavy said. “And monitoring it to make sure what they presented to us, is, in fact, what they’re doing.” (MS/WKOW Madison) ...Sounds like someone needs a cuddle.
