Hi, im relatively new here, just a brief intro, 52 male, artist and small business owner. Long time anxiety sufferer, been through the gauntlet countless times. Im in therapy, on meds, have support group the whole nine but have been having struggling more lately
Separate from all that is that im not interested in a serious relationship right now. I feel like im so busy with projects and stuff and thankfully, i have enough people and support in my life. I feel like im not even interested in dating because i wouldnt want to get too attached or vice versa. So i have people to talk to but not much physical contact. So ive been thinking about hiring a cuddler, a woman you pay to cuddle and have touch and physical contact. Theres a few websites ive checked out, im not sure what to think, some of the women may be offering more than cuddling im not sure, im not saying that would be a bad thing either. I just dont know what id be getting into so to speak. Has anyone tried this or looked into it for themselves? What do people think of the idea?

Thanks, Yep some of them are therapists and trained, they really do provide a service and it isnt cheap. Im going to keep looking into for myself probably
I was intrigued and in need of a cuddle also so googled them sites .maybe not arrived in the uk yet but found an interesting article along the way you might think so too ….link further down the thread 👇
One of my sisters was in hospital last year. They didn't notice she had fungus on a foot. When she told them they immediately moved her into a private room as it could be contagious. You couldn't make it up could you.
They are a bunch of the saddest men I have ever seen! A male fantasy - a woman who is passive and obedient and lets them do exactly what they want. Yuck!
I heard of a chap who bought one, used it, then took it back saying they sold him a male one instead. They looked at it and told him he had it inside out....... Lol
Look, this is not that unusual in Japan or other countries that have professionals to fill roles for people who don't want or have time for attachment. I think more prudish mentalities would find this a bit strange or they may be even a bit judgmental about welcoming even more than a 'cuddle' from such a service. But personally... many people with attachment issues, or work is their life priority, find these types of service fill those needs for them. Being in a relationship requires work, give and take, and a lot of time, many working professionals don't have that kind of time... so they opt out for temporary services. If you are not seeking a sexual encounter necessarily, of which many escort services would provide, then I think you should focus on the companion services, with the emphasis that you want to hug. Best of luck and I hope you find what you need, and it works out for you.
Thanks, i appreciate the encouragement! That is how i feel about my time and energy, its already tied up with other people and work, i cant imagine adding to that right now but im human too so some limted physical contact would be helpful
I had no idea that was even an option. I know that people hire companions. One of my friends immigrated to the US and before she had her teaching license sorted out, she was a companion to a widow lady.
I am also a fan of big dogs that think they are lap dogs. I fostered different dogs over the years and they absolutely gave me cuddles and purpose.
Its interesting to look at some of the sites. Ive been hesitant so far to try it, my friend thinks they are straight up prostituting themselves but that cant be the case. Some of them are trained therapists and take it totally seriously. Anyone can advertise themselves though

Does anyone here feel like others summarize them as a bad person? How do you cope?
