No. But I'll hug anyone who wants or needs one.

Don't need to pay for what I get free - frequently.

I have problems with "paid" cuddling. While the cuddler also has needs - it seems unfair that he/she gets free benefits for the service that he/she performs on others for FREE. Me? I won't pay! Shared benefits, if anything, is the way to go. However, the big benefit, I believe, is that these kinds of acts can actually get a person to live a longer, happier life. Of course, it is that kind of benefit MOSTLY if one wants to enjoy a long life.

I go to cuddle parties about once a month. They are four hours long and about $35. The only thing I don't care for is a lot of the people are into new age woo, other than that they are great.

probably not. I do enjoy massages, facials, and getting my nails done but cuddling feels a bit to personal.

Interesting article. The research makes a lot of sense. Most peopleferl better and are happier when in proximity to another bring or pet.

I'm not that needy...

Not a stranger.
