Oh duh! Hahaha.l ETA: I have never had my hair done in a salon, by a hairdresser. Didn't even dawn on me. I have and I can't say my hair has ever been played with ![:laugh:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Ivm7lm0DayrhoRpwvCeH.jpg) . Cut and colored, yes. Lifted up and asked questions about length and type of cut, yes. I know what I want done or I say do what you want. Aint no one playing with my hair.

Paying to cuddle with a strange man I do not know? No way! To me that is cheap and creepy! I would rather be lonely!

Not a chance. I don't like touching people I don't know. I barely like touching people I do know! I do however, love to cuddle My dogs! If I didn't have dogs I might pay to cuddle Dogs. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/MNrJDkDuSwqIMVw33MdD.jpg)

My cat gives great cuddles in the morning when we get up. that is all the cuddles I would need. Hubby can't cuddle without figiting and it drives me crazy. Save

The husband is extremely cuddly, being wrapped up in one of his big bear hugs is the best thing ever. The intimacy that exists between us is what makes it though, I can't imagine that with a stranger. Much of the paid time would be a huge embarrassing adjustment, what if you didn't like the way they smell? What if a hand brushed somewhere it shouldn't? So much room for awkwardness!
Long story short, no!

Nope. To me, a cuddle implies feelings between two people, whether they're friends or lovers. A cuddle is different from a hug.

I have no problem with a quick hug from people I actually know but as you say, a cuddle is something different. So no a cuddle isn't on the cards for me from a stranger. The cuddle offering person is just making money from people's vulnerability IMO.

I am a hugger...the kind that some of y'all hate ( ![:laugh:](//storage.proboards.com/5645536/images/Ivm7lm0DayrhoRpwvCeH.jpg) ) and I love a good cuddle. But even I cringe at the thought of snuggling up to a stranger. To me, cuddling/snuggling is a pretty intimate thing-not necessarily sexually intimate, but intimate none the less. I come from a touchy feely kind of family so the touching isn't the problem-for example my mom and I still walk down the way holding hands, but the idea of sharing that kind of intimacy with a person I don't know seems weird. I will hug you hello, I will hug you goodbye, I will hug you just because...but cuddling is not going to happen unless you are family.

Could you ever use the services of a professional cuddler? No. And I'm pretty sure I'm the divorcee you mention in your OP. But no, I wouldn't pay for cuddles. Or sex. Or any kind of touch for touch sake. I'm talking about a legitimate licensed professional cuddler. How on Earth does one become a professional cuddler? And are there class drop outs? Those who couldn't pass the cuddling bar exam?

I chuckled at this, but this is me too. I hate when strangers (or even people I know) touch me. I'm not a hugger or a cuddler. Strangely, I am affectionate with ds but he's the only one.

I have a 21 year old cuddle bunny. He is adorable and I love him to pieces and he loves to be cuddled and to cuddle. That's all the cuddling I can take!

Just curious...do you cut your own hair? I come from a long line of cosmetologists and makeup artists. I am also licensed and yeah I mostly cut my own hair as I keep it shoulder length now. When it was short, years ago, friends or family cut the back of it for me. I am very picky about my hair cuts and know where every hair should be.

Ick x 1000. If I were without someone to cuddle, I'd get a dog.

I have a Golden Retriever who aspires to be a professional cuddler and his rates are completely reasonable.

At first glance, hell no. I'm not a hugger, I'm not a toucher, I don't like being touched. BUT! A long time ago... I moved across an ocean to a new city where I knew nobody. My DH was in Iraq. I was all alone. I had about three weeks in solitary where the only people I had spoken with were Ryan, the 16 year old manager of Dominos and Adam, the 19 year old delivery kid. They were my new best friends. I realized that 1. I had eaten too much pizza, 2. I was losing my mind. I went to "get myself together" and got my nails done. The elderly gentleman who did my nails grabbed my hand and I swear it was like I just needed human touch. I started crying and well that was embarrassing. The whole story came out about how I was new in town, had another week before school started, had only eaten pizza and wings for weeks, my neighbors were drug dealers, my husband was at war. He patted my hand, drew a flower on for free and gave me a genuine pat on the shoulder when I left. So when I think about how I am NOT a hugger, I also think about how sometimes I just need to feel like I belong and have contact with the world.
Now as a mom, I'm rarely without somebody touching me. I get a little crazy sometimes with all the touching - but I can get why someone who has no human contact would just need a cuddle now and again. I also do not volunteer to provide those services.

People play with your hair while having a conversation with you? WTH? I'm referring to going to the hair salon. That is completely different, the hairstylist is not just playing with your hair to be playing with your hair, she is cutting, styling, or maybe coloring it. Do you consider your gynecologist to just be playing with your lady bits while making small talk? I would never pay a hairstylist to just play with my hair, and I wouldn't pay anyone to cuddle me.

I saw a story on this on the news last year and honestly I did give it a thought.
The lack of or rather the no human touch in my marriage is very devastating to me. I get very sad about it and it plays on your emotions, self esteem and worth.
Would I actually hire one no but I wouldn't judge a person who used one.
