I get people need emotional support but this seems like such a dangerous way to get it like you go to some random persons house and then just doesn’t let you leave? You could be seriously assaulted or even killed there are crazy people out there

[@theblackvalkyrie69]

My thoughts exactly

[@joel4541]

maybe they don‘t go there alone..

[@JohnGalt916]

That can happen as an uber eat driver. You're acting like this isn't a scheduled appointment via an agency. If you're really concerned about this you would hate to find out how many random houses a pizza hut driver goes to in a 8 hour shift.

[@scarlett_ink]

@@JohnGalt916 the thing is with websites like that, their companies aren’t as big as things like Pizza Hut and Uber eats and don’t always have the same tracking of people. And with food delivery you aren’t staying at a persons house for hours before you have to leave. You just drop the food off and go. Most of the time when dropping food off you don’t even go in the house so there’s not much of a way to be trapped in there should the person you’re delivering to have malicious intentions. Hell, services on websites that are big still result in dangerous situations when you’re going into a strangers house for hours at a time, you can look up Craigslist murders to see. At the end of the day it’s all a matter of opinion and if you think it’s ok and safe I respect that but I believe there is a need to be cautious

[@stacie7766]

@@scarlett_ink They more than likely operate like an escort service does. Where they give them a business phone, with a tracker on it. Some of the companies give the workers a driver/security that waits outside for them. If they (the worker) don't come out or call when they are suppose to be done, they come knocking, and/or do whatever necessary to ensure they are safe. I'm sure they have steps for their safety in place to make sure they are safe.

[@Synthia17]

I don't understand doing this while you're not single and when you are, it seems more of a torture than anything. It's like a placebo, feels like you can easily get attached if you're really lonely and then suddenly a cold fucking bucket when the cuddler goes, yep time's up, that's 80$. That can't be good for your mental health and that's the tamest of the potential issues here.

I happened to look into this back when I was really desperate for cash. It was another website but they had a shit ton of rules outlining certain clothing you have to wear and how both the client and the cuddler had to have a certain level of hygiene. It even went into if you want to pursue a relationship with the client you couldn’t do anymore appointments with them. There’s a lot more that I probably forgot but I definitely found it interesting enough to want to do it. The only thing stopping me was that I didn’t have a car

lol, I know it’s weird but I really really dislike having sex 😖 it’s sticky, smelly, sweaty and kind of boring. Plus (for me anyway) it just doesn’t feel all that good. a really nice foot or back massage feels way better to me than sex ever does. I do love to be cuddled though. In my relationship sex is kind of a trade off, I’m willing to have sex with my partner because they enjoy it but since I don’t enjoy it, my pleasure comes from the snuggling and massages I get afterwards. ☺️

I actually considered becoming a professional cuddler but I'm glad my dad talked me out of it. I was pretty naïve thinking people wanted to be cuddled because they want to feel physical affection but this can easily become dangerous, especially for a woman. Sure, it makes great money but I think the costs outweigh the benefits.

[@emrahalien2972]

cock just you know slips out and he's like.. what?

[@menheramorii]

i feel like it should be practiced at like... a select building with other professional cuddlers. yknow? rooms decked out with certain aesthetics that people can rent, where if things get bad you can tell a client to leave, they get a membership revoked and there are staff to interfere so no one gets hurt. it sounds like it CAN work but there just needs to be some order in place.

For me it wouldn't be that I don't trust them, i personally express my love to physical touch and I would feel extremely uncomfortable with my S.O cuddling with a stranger

[@emrahalien2972]

Mine is if i don't do something Then i consider if she does it cheating or disrespectful to me, for context i barly do much related to other people but if like lets say she does feet pics for money i kinda get uncomfortable fast not cheating just not happy about it or comfortable with it.. may sound extreme but the thing is if you consider it extreme then you obviously don't think like me or realize i don't exactly see "money" as the biggest motivator so if she does it its a big BIG sign we don't work the same and will have loads of problems, so it works. since i can do the feet thing right now.. but i don't.. cause.. easy money doesn't motivate me, and it would make me uncomfortable morally to do it even if it did motivate me I still couldn't based on my principles. plus I see cuddling as a relationship thing and intimate..

[@CosmicAli_TheObserver]

They have "Cuddle Motels" in Japan so this isn't new at all, just here in the states maybe... This makes me sad. If people are in relationships and doing this, what is it saying about our modern state of marriage? So many people are married for financial reasons and not for love, so people have to go find someone else to hold them? What about friends? We as humans need 7 hugs a day to be healthy and happy. We are getting so closed off to others, people have to buy hugs now? That sucks man. Besides that, it's just dangerous, or it would be so easy for people to turn it into prostitution with "extras and perks".

People who have been abandoned/neglected would do anything to have that security. Cuddling can be equivalent to safety.

[@Til_What]

@@theblackvalkyrie69 Maybe. But when it comes to touching I can't get over the need for an emotional connection. What's the point of being held by someone who doesn't care? Sex, I get. That's just two near strangers hooking up with an implicit agreement to have a good time. But just the thought of paying for fake intimacy makes me so uncomfortable. But then again I don't like being touched by pretty much anyone in the first place (with the rare exception).

[@theblackvalkyrie69]

@@Til_What I totally agree. It makes me uncomfortable as well and I wouldn’t do it myself. However, there are people out there who crave that intimacy.
