Would you ever use a professional cuddler (details inside)?

I might if I needed cuddling that I wasn’t getting. All human beings need touch.

Not as long as my fine feline friend, Katrina is living with me. If she predeceases me, then my wife would be my primary cuddler.

Otherwise, I’d consider it.

Here are The Oregonian search results for professional cuddling: http://www.oregonlive.com/portland/index.ssf/2013/11/portlands_professional_cuddler.htmln

I think it is a great idea. Many people go without cuddles for years. Not good and not healthy. I am definitely a great cuddler so maybe I should become one. I would certainly hire one if I needed one :)

I do not even like skinship with my own family. No way in hell I would do that with a stranger.

Why rent when you can buy?

Either way, 99% of the cuddle comfort is in your head.
That is why I have 2 pillows to sleep with.

I couldn’t link to the story.

I doubt I would, but I can understand it. I think a message or skin treatment is the more acceptable and mainstream way of getting a human touch fix. Having a pet can help also to fulfill the touch needed.

There are also professional huggers from what I understand. Cuddle sounds like they are in bed with you. That’s a little too much for me.

Only with dogs and cats. I think it would be creepy to be cuddled by a stranger for money.
