I would never pay. I remember when those free cuddle party events were happening a long time ago and all I could think was...well...lice, sorry. OK, that's not all I thought, but it shows you a peek inside my mind, LOL! I may need therapy, but what would I do without Rossie who is probably now nodding her head and thinking, "Good call on the lice, add bed bugs to that!" Love you, Rossie

@js250, Looking at your picture, I don't think you will have any shortage of willing cuddlers, I am sure! Oh, of course I meant Platonic because breasts are soft and comfortable to cuddle against. That reminds me of a toddler my mom was holding while baby sitting the first time. She was tired and fussy and wouldn't give into sleeping yet. She put her head on my mom's chest and then pulled back and poked her breasts a few times in puzzlement (her mom was mostly bony there). She then enjoyed the bouncing for a bit and then put her head back down and snuggled in with a deep sigh. I almost fell over, I was laughing so hard, it was so damn cute! So, even a baby understands the appeal and comfort of breasts over their food source potential, hah! less

I love you! I knew you'd be on the same wavelength! As for others, I think until we mention these things, no, they don't really think of them, lol!

Beyond all the hygiene issues, I have very firm boundaries and don't like people in my space unless they are invited. And it takes me a while to be sure I want to let someone in. But once I do, I am very comfortable. Interestingly, I am more comfortable with casually touching others than receiving those touches. It has taken a lot of work to become more open and accepting of hugs and such. I remember being shocked when I started my first day at my high school and the returning girls (who attended the lower school there) were all hugging each other. I eventually was doing the same thing by the time I graduated, lol. I am sensitive to the fact other people may not welcome touches, so I tend to hold back when I would be willing to hug them for example and I wait for a signal from them. It is so awkward to have someone start to hug you and you don't want it, or you start it and it's clear they are not into it. less

Japan has had cuddle cafes for some time now but they have a slightly erotic tone. Platonic cuddle shops have started appearing in the U.S. I recently saw a documentary about one that opened in Sacramento this year.

So would you pay to cuddle someone? less
