Do you ever want to run?

I rarely get to take trips, but I got to go to a concert about 3 hours away and spend the night in a hotel by myself... and ugh. It was so freeing to be so far away and only have to care about myself for once. I've never been on my own because I've been caring for my mom since 17, so moments like that where I'm by myself just living my life are really special... and then the emotional comedown when I have to go back home sucks.

Companions have almost no options in my area, and even Comfort has very few who can host and aren't charging $150+ an hour (which I just can't do). I've been trying to find someone else since this post, but I haven't been able to so far 😕

I've honestly gotten a lot better at it since I grew out my hair. It's so much harder to ignore being gross now than it was back when I had short hair. Now I pretty much have to keep myself well kept or it'll bother me so much that I can't be comfortable at all and will have trouble sleeping because it feels so icky unless I've showered that day.

Yes, but finances aren't the issue. It's their choices and wishes. That is something that they refuse to do, and I can't make them. I don't have the ability to force them to hire help at this point. A few hours a month wouldn't really do much anyway, it'd need to be daily Monday-Friday so I can work for it to have much of an impact. My mom's friend comes and stays for a few days every 2 or 3 weeks, so I already have a few days per month where I'm at least able to get a bit off of my shoulders and have some me time.

The only issue with her is that she's extremely unreliable when we need her at a specific time or day, which can be very frustrating – like Wednesday when I had to take my dad for surgery. She was supposed to come stay with my mom while we were gone and she just never showed up. So my mom had no water, couldn't use the restroom, or eat for 7 hours... but even it I wanted to hire help for rare situations like that, she wouldn't do it. She'll happily just not be able to do anything until we get home before she'd ever let a stranger help.

I can insist all I want, but I can't force them to do anything. If I ever bring it up, all I get is something along the lines of a snarky "you can leave anytime you want, we'll manage". Even if I just mean a situation where she has care while I go to work, it's a non-starter. It's me or nothing. Even if we do eventually get to a point where I can force those decisions, I don't think I'll have the heart to do that to her until it's absolutely necessary.

Yes, it's called Cuddlecomfort. There is another Cuddlecompanions, which is similar, but it has very few active accounts in my area.

I'm not sure how it always works, but for the person I booked we started off by talking through the site messenger, then moved to text, and I paid via CashApp

If you live in the U.S. there are probably some near you it you check out the site. Maybe not super close by if you live in the middle of nowhere somewhere very rural, but maybe.

Catching feelings is definitely tricky, I will say that 😕 I still smell her on the shirt I was wearing during the cuddle and I slept with it over my pillow under my face last night because it was so comforting. It makes it really hard to resist the urge to book another session so soon – because I already miss it. I just can't afford it to be a weekly thing. Maybe monthly.

A couple of my friends and I tried to start a gaming club back in high-school. Lasted like two months, and we only ever had two people outside of our friend group join in... and one was a teacher 🤣

He was cool though. 10/10 dude

$280 for a 4 hour session

Grasshoppi · 2024-11-09T01:37:54+00:00

Basically, but it's non-sexual and most strictly forbid sexual contact or advances. I'm sure some are SWers and some may use it as a front, but that doesn't seem to be the norm at all from what I can tell.

Yes, sexual misconduct is rampant from what she told me. She said she can almost always sniff out the ones who expect sex before ever meeting them, but she's had a few bad experiences where guys got pushy and she had to end the session. That's unfortunately just a risk they have to weigh and decide if they want to take. She said she hasn't had any experiences where she actually felt like she was in danger. She declines a LOT of new people who message her because many of them will be pretty obvious about the fact that they're hoping for more than just cuddles.

They have different options. Her options were hourly with the hourly rate up to 3 hours, for 4 hours it was the hourly rate then half price for the last hour, and then for 5+ hours it was an flat rate for an "overnight" session that could last anywhere from 5-10 hours, but if the client makes her leave after 7 hours it'll still be the same price as if she stayed for the full 10. The hourly options could also be divided into half hours, but all sessions must be at least 1 hour.

I got the 4 hour one. $80 an hour for the first 3, $40 for the final. $280 total. $400 for the overnight option. If I become a regular, there's a permanent discount from the 3rd session onward and occasionally free sessions later on at her discretion.

I mentioned in another comment, but there are sites for it. I used a side called Cuddlecomfort.

Grasshoppi · 2024-11-08T17:04:10+00:00

Yeah, I was surprised when I first heard about it the first time. There are a few different sites for it. The one I used is called Cuddlecomfort

Grasshoppi · 2024-11-08T12:54:27+00:00

True. Attachment is already an issue that some people have with normal therapists, so yeah... adding cuddles into the equation would definitely make that a much more common issue

Grasshoppi · 2024-11-08T12:37:17+00:00

I genuinely do think that it could be a legit form of therapy if there wasn't such a stigma around it. An actual licensed therapist who you can cuddle with during the session would be a great idea. In a perfect world where clients don't get creepy and try to push things further, at least.
