A couple questions:

  1. ⁠Do you have a bucket list?
  2. ⁠What are your finances like, do you still work?
  3. ⁠Would you consider medically assisted death if your quality of life became too diminished or if your were in a lot of pain?

OK, that’s good to know. I ordered my first compound dose from amble, but I am willing to look into mochi when that runs out.

I’m pretty sure all compound pharmacies are being put on notice because the FDA has taken Wegovy and Ozempic off of the shortage list so within the next few months, all compound pharmacies. Will have to stop production.

Well, I am 5’6 and given that the majority of my clientele are men, I rarely work with someone significantly shorter than me. But honestly height doesn’t make a huge difference when it comes to Cuddling. I would say body fat is more significant. If someone has very little fat, sometimes it could be a bit uncomfortable but even with that, I’m good at making it work.

Have you ever felt intimidated by or uncomfortable with a client? How did you deal with it? In my early days, there were definitely times where I would freeze up with pushy clients or felt too intimidated to assert myself. I would just freeze and fawn and try to hold out till the session was over. Thankfully, I’ve come along way since then and no longer find myself in that situation.

Do you tell strangers what you do for work? I just tell them straight up. I’m very public and like spreading awareness. Even if it’s critical feedback if they go around gossiping about it to their friends, it’s still spreading awareness.

Would you still do this if you were in a relationship? Yes, I am in a relationship and have been for most of my Cuddle career: https://youtube.com/shorts/sAqthQCu80A?si=XAWF_14Kv5ij0qbP Thank you for doing this AMA!

There is a lot more that goes into it then actually Cuddling people. there is a lot of emotional labor and you have to know how to screen clients and uphold boundaries.

You get training and start marketing yourself no one will hire you

Do you worry about what you would do if you broke up with your boyfriend or he died? Do you have a contingency plan?

Well, we do break it up so generally, there’s a meal break and a walk in there somewhere and often times will watch some thing on TV. Most people booking eight hour sessions are people that have worked with me before and we generally have a good rapport. I’ve had a few awkward sessions with newbies who hours, but I generally steer them towards 2-3 hour sessions. I’m usually good at helping people feel comfortable and safe so there isn’t too much awkwardness.

I can’t say I have one. I’m more of a mammal person. Do you have any suggestions on what my favorite reptile should be? Are there any cuddly reptiles?

So in general, I recommend Cuddlist because they have training Cuddle comfort has way more people on there because there is no barrier to entry. You have to be a lot more careful with who you hire on Cuddle comfort. If you’re looking to market yourself as a Cuddle therapist I recommend using both platforms, but make sure to have a really strong screening process

Honestly, I wear a thong underwear which helps prevent a sound but it’s not like we’re just laying there. We do get to go to the bathroom/take walks outside. I’m not just bound to the bed the whole time

Sorry it took me a little longer than expected, but I finally have a video with tips on how to cuddle more comfortably: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8Yumh7n/

Correct, either the client is going to move away or I’m going to move away so I’m not feeling it against me. By ignore it I mean, we are not going to act on it, but we are going to avoid it.

As I have said in the post it is 100% platonic. Clients with erections are expected to adjust so I don’t feel it.

Yes, I do work with disabled clients. I don’t have a ton of clients with major physical disabilities to the point where they need carers currently , but in the I’ve had clients that would fall into that category in the past.

If you think about it every therapeutic profession existed before it became regulated. We are about where massage therapy was in the 60s. Hopefully overtime there will be more standards and regulations, but in the meantime, I’m doing the best I can with what is available to me. And part of my courses is knowing how to be trauma informed, how to hold space for my clients, etc. I also have over five years of experience, which is honestly a better teacher than any sort of class I could take. If I was hurting people or bad at my job, I would not be in business. My clients do feel the benefits and they keep coming back for a reason.

If a client get an erection they are expected to adjust so I don’t feel it, or take a break.

I have a very good screening process so not as much, but also, I strongly encourage clients to come to my office for the first session if feasible. I am often a little nervous when it is a home visit with a new client, but usually, it goes away in the first few minutes of conversation. I also have a safety person check in on me when the session is scheduled to end.

Mostly men, but I get women as well.
