I just moved into a space where I can start hosting. I am wanting to get it set-up to host enthusiasts and Pro's alike.
What are some ideas from Pro-cuddlers for things to include?
For me, a nice, cool, dark room is best. I love relaxing music playing or nature sounds. Having soft lighting gives some good ambience. Having an option for a cold water bottle to drink would be good but I don’t accept drinks at my cuddlers homes for safety reasons. I’d have to get to really know you before I’m comfortable enough to accept a drink but having that option for them to accept is always polite 😊 lots of pillows, snuggly fuzzy blankets and a huge body pillow are great additives. So many ways to enhance your snuggle space. I also use incense with my cuddlers consent for it. Good luck !!
On hand, I always have extra pillows and blankets, a mini fridge with individually wrapped snacks and bottled water, individually wrapped breath mints, hand sanitizer, hand lotion. I have the ability to play soft music and a bathroom close by.
Car, back seat. Now that I think of it, a homeless woman in a park. Both were like 3 hours.
@PeopleLikeUs ~ What does, "Car, back seat. Now that I think of it, a homeless woman in a park. Both were like 3 hours." have anything whatsoever to do with this thread topic?? Did you mean to post that someplace else??
I'm so confused about what you're trying to say there.....
@quixotic_life You know. The cuddle essentials. What a person needs at their place of residence like he asked. The car was the smallest of sedans. She moved both the front seats forward, turned on the radio and blue-toothed a playlist off her phone. Our second cuddle was at a park where she lived. She always had a yoga mat and a blanket with her.
Huh. I suppose inviting a buddy into your car might be considered hosting, although I'd never thought of it that way before. I'm pretty sure a park is considered public even if it's your place of residence, though.
I'd guess OP already has the essentials for hosting—a private location, something soft in it to sit or lie on—they're just looking for handy extras now.
@DaringSprinter A back seat, radio, bluetooth, streaming service, yoga mat, and blanket. Those were all unexpected extras. The park was where she raised her son. The life story and her openness about it all was the ultimate bonus, something I will never forget as long as I live.
@KamikaziNinja86 this is written from the perspective of a man enthusiast hosting a woman enthusiast, but most of it applies to everybody.
Following on from @Sheena123's excellent point, have a new, sealed bottle of mainstream-branded water in the fridge. Give it to your guest unopened. Many people are happy to accept water or even tea, but this means you have a drink available for everybody if required.
The main difference between hosting enthusiasts and hosting professionals is the time spent talking before moving on to touch and then cuddling. With professionals it's usually fairly quick. (Well, it is with me because I'm comfortable with touch. In your case it may of course be slow, or even not at all. Not all cuddle sessions involve touching.) With enthusiasts it's usually, but not always, a slightly slower process.
@PeopleLikeUs: Yeah, those are probably the kind of extras the OP could use.
Really good ideas from this thread. I will bring these concepts to the table when I host in the future. Thank you everyone.
@PeopleLikeUs I would love to hear that full human interest story.
@PeopleLikeUs ~ Thank you for adding context/replying. 😁
Thank you for all the great suggestions.
