I just thought the topic was worth exploring further.
Comment here on hiring male pros.
Do not conflate this with the “the last person to talk about CoVid wins” thread.
That one was closed.
Yes, let’s stay on topic this time. And no bashing of pros or of those who hire them, male or female.
I might do it if they had some references/karma and I could trust them to hold boundaries! I cuddle with a lot of my friends, if a pro could be better than that, I would hire, especially if they've done trainings around touch.
But my friends are really really good with touch, cuddles, and boundaries, so the bar is high.
(I do several dance forms in close embrace, we have to be good with hugs or no one will dance with us, hence the bar being high)
