I can't say I'd be into cuddling with strangers, but if that's what you enjoy then there's no shame in that. Research has shown that cuddling can be very relaxing and helps keep stress levels down, and it can be even better if you're cuddling with someone you care about or have feelings for.

Yeah. I certainly wouldn't chose to do it with a stranger if someone that I cared for was an option.

I don’t like being hugged unless I was married to the person then it’s comforting

I like to hug children nobody else
Makes me shudder to be unexpectedly hugged or touched by ppl. Who are not children

although i still hug ppl if they need it or to communicate caring as they seem to understand /appreciate that better than other things sometimes

It's just not in the cards.

I'm not cuddling with someone I don't know.

Cuddling is something very intimate.

Meh. I used to have sex with strangers (to the tune of $300/hour), and attended a cuddle party twice. So cuddling with a stranger, for whatever she charges, isn't a big stretch at all. Heck, it's not much different from hugging women I just met in a new social group I joined.

I'd pay money NOT to have to cuddle strangers... or anyone other than Mrs Trueno.

I am NT with an Aspie husband. Over the years, we have lost intimacy. We did cuddle early in our relationship, but like many things from the early days, it now happens maybe 1-2 times per year. One time, when I told him how lonely I feel lying in the same bed night after night without touching unless for sex, he recommended a professional cuddler. While I believe he meant well, it felt like a stab to the heart. I need touch from the person who, in theory (he won't verbalize it either), loves me. Maybe if I was single and needed touch a cuddler would feel reasonable, but I honestly think I would feel more pain than comfort if I hired one in my current situation.

Well, most professional cuddlers are women. After all, it's acceptable for two straight women to cuddle with each other, which isn't true for two straight men. But there are a few men in the profession too. Turn the situation back on your husband: ask him if he'd be comfortable with you cuddling with another man. My educated guess says "probably not". So tell your husband that cuddling matters to you, and ask him if he'd do it for your sake. Otherwise, since he gave you permission to get it from a professional cuddler, you'll do just that. And it just might be a man.

As for me, I wonder if professional cuddlers will become stand-ins for the escorts I used to have sex with. Because sex disgusts me now, for reasons I'd rather not clutter this thread with. But still, this renders escorts totally useless. But I still enjoy platonic close touch with an attractive woman, like hugging, cuddling, and holding hands. And professional cuddlers allow all of those things.

Thanks for the suggestion. I honestly don't think he would care if it was a man. I will be approaching the subject again though; I can feel the effects of long-term intimacy decline, and I don't like what it is doing to me.

It is a great idea for a lot of reasons to have that service.
