hi everyone! strangers pay me to cuddle with them (100% platonic)! i have been doing this for a few months now.
there are many different reasons why people seek cuddle therapy. i am studying psychology so i truly love when my clients open up about their inner world. AMA 🤗

How do clients find you? Is there a website for cuddlers?
Goes without saying that some of your patients will get turned on. Have YOU ever felt some sparks from a cuddle session?
Does it pay well?
As a “professional” do you have any training or certification, or do you mean you cuddle for hire, without training or certification?
How much do you make a month?
My deek would be hard as a rock the minute we lay down. How do you deal with that?
What is your typical client like? I would imagine either older or unattractive men, honestly. Is that accurate?
I’m assuming you have to do some type of hygiene check with those wanting your services. What are things you look for? Smells, stains, even rashes maybe? Are pre cuddle health checkups necessary?
Do you think a big guy could make a good cuddler? Like a biiiig teddy bear? 🙂
I’m imagining a session as cuddling horizontally on a bed or couch. Are there variations to this, like standing? How about facing towards/away from you?
What’s your age and gender?
Is talking with/listening to the client a part of every session, or are some mostly silent?
With your professional expertise, what is the thing that can make cuddling intimate or non-intimate? Is it an intention or person? Is there a difference in the intimacy that you have with a client vs. with a (potential) partner?
Are you usually the little spoon or the big spoon?
Have you ever felt like a client was dangerous or wanted more from you
Man I really would love doing this as a career. How do/have your partners reacted to your career choice?
How do you deal with cuddle-related hazards such as
-bedbugs
do people ever creep on you
Do you talk ? Or just stay silent ?
Are you in a relationship? Do they have any particular feelings about your work?
Has anybody ever gotten to handsy?
Do you think you are an above average cuddler? Did you get compliments on cuddle skills before starting this career?
During your sessions are you in an office or semi-public space that if you feel something is off you have the ability to get help and/or end the session?
Do you meet clients at a neutral place, like a hotel?

What do you do with your middle arm? I usually put it above my head under a pillow, but I saw a tiktok from a pro cuddler that leans forward and puts it behind her back, which was quite uncomfortable when I tried.
Ever caught any feels or have your fellow cuddler catch any? How’d you handle that?
No question just praise. Wtg for what you do!!
It’s something I have half way looked into myself. Got out of a 20+ year relationship this year, last 10 years of those had no intimacy at all, no touch, no nothing. I find myself struggling with lack of touch. It hurts my entire body. I find what you do to be absolutely amazing and vital for people like me.
How do you end a cuddle session? Alarm?
So everyone is always clothed?
What’s the attire for cuddling (you and the client) and have you ever cuddled naked?
How much skin contact do you allow? For me, I’d want some of that, even in a non-sexual way.
When they like my appearance, personality and attitude and then they lose the interest once they know my nationality lol
Based on the clients you’ve seen, do you think “touch starvation” is a real thing that isnt addressed as much in adulthood? We know babies need it, but do adults? Have you noticed any real improvements to your clients mental health over a therapist who just talks to you?Â
Do you feel safe with them coming to your home?
Do people in your life side eye your for this job or are they supportive?
I ask bc I think I’d love it if I were single, but my husband would be very uncomf with it.
Ok sorry, 1 more! What position are the cuddles usually in?Â
What’s your hourly rate
