How come no famous people cuddle?

nycuddlerny

I was just wondering why.

I'm sure they can charge thousands an hour and still get people.

You can get live personal videos from them online now. Years ago that thought would seem crazy!

It would be fun if they did it even with just a few people ever.

Someone contact Enrique Iglesias' people. I guarantee he would do it.

Guessing because of time investment, and personal safety.

Personal videos are normally just looking into a camera, saying what you've been asked to, and sending off the file.

Cuddling would involve either inviting someone else into their home, or visiting a stranger/going to somewhere neutral.

I imagine most famous people are used to have more of a separation between them and random people, or having to be worried about interactions that could be bad for them/dangerous due to their fame. If it's someone not especially famous then could see them maybe considering it but cuddling is something very specific to want a celebrity to do when guessing the majority would more look to sit down and chat with them or have them attend a party, etc.

I cuddled a movie star… of sorts.

They do actually, it's just not a publicized free-for-all. Too much work, too much exposure to the unwashed masses, worst of all, too much diluting the fragile media made mystique.
It is however not uncommon for them to take a companionship gig for the right price and level of discretion. It's just going to be arranged through their agents, include a contract with a gag order, And probably for an eccentric star struck foreign prince, let's say for illustrative purposes, a certain one in Monaco who doesn't mind tossing 5-6 figures for his favorite B movie blonde.
Even as a humble working class cuddler, being from LA I've had the "privilege" to cuddle some minor celebrities.

PeopleLikeUs

They do. For the same reason we might not talk to certain people about the fact that we cuddle, famous people have to look out for audience numbers.

There's also this:

MrMarkAndrew

Because they are famous, lol...I'm sure they have no shortage of opportunities for intimacy, platonic or otherwise.

TheFunCartel

I have on many occasions. I don’t allow cameras.

BlueIris

@FunCartel Oops. Forgot to tell you about the lipstick cam I brought that one time.

BookishGuy

Yes.... None of us here famous celebrities, hiding under the cover of anonymity....

@biancalovecraft I've been really suspicious with conspiracies about the Illuminati, Disney, the Epstein thing, etc. that movies, music videos, fashion shows, award shows, galas, are all elaborate escorting ads and sex parties. Lol

I mean as a gift to their fans. I know they have plenty of people to date already.

The money also could be used to raise money for a charity also if they charged like thousands or tens of thousands.

Yeah, the safety I understand. But I mean it can be in a public place or with others with them for security.

A gift to their fans but raising money for a charity. So you mean like auctioning themselves off? And someone paying thousands of dollars to a celebrity, for charity, to cuddle (for example) you? Maybe I'm confused. 🤪🤷‍♀️

And many do go visit and maybe hug sick kids or fans in the hospital.

nycuddlerny

Well there was a site online one time where you can have dinner with them if you pay enough money and other things. I forgot what it was and if it is around anymore.

And what was considered weird in the 90s is no longer.

I was one of the first to order food online in the 1990s and people thought that was strange.

And meeting someone online in person. Yes, that was actually considered strange also back then. Never mind finding someone online to marry! Yes, that happens now also.

We take it all for granted now. But I was one of the first to do those things and thought it was fine. Now if someone thinks it is strange, they are considered weird!

I am pretty sure their security people would never allow it. Think about all the horror stories you hear on here about boundaries being pushed. Not to mention the possibility the other person would accuse the celebrity of pushing boundaries and sue.

nycuddlerny

It's hard to believe people push boundaries. It ruins it for everyone else.

@nycuddlerny Dude, they're people. They would have to want to sign up for that and like bianca posted above, some do it but we normal people wouldn't be able to afford it.

I met my husband online almost 20 years ago. I'm not saying the whole concept is weird. Just that celebrities are people and they're people who are in a position in their lives that getting up close and personal with strangers is dangerous and probably would feel creepy. They deal with cameras in their faces, people going nuts over them, stalking them, I'd say no effing way if I were a famous person. Recording a video is much less invasive.

And believe it. A lot of people push boundaries on this site.

nycuddlerny

Why not just join a dating site? I don't understand why people would join this site to push boundaries. It makes no sense.

WriterGF

That's a whole other discussion.

JoyfulHeart

@nycuddlerny I agree that it doesn't make sense, but unfortunately it happens a lot.

This world would be an entirely different place if no one pushed boundaries

TheMidnightOwl

Even us non famous folk are routinely sexually assaulted here. I can only imagine the horrific things that would happen to celebs in such a scenario, unless they had armed security present, and even then some ballsy predator would still push the boundaries. And yes, a total liability risk of people using the situation to bring false allegations to make some money, as some mentioned. And lol the guys here whine about someone charging $100/hr as too much. They’d probably be charging at least $10k/hr. 🤭 But we can dream!

@nycuddlerny

”It's hard to believe people push boundaries. It ruins it for everyone else.”

Because. That’s. What. Predators. Do. They routinely strike where we’re most vulnerable and are equal opportunity opportunists. This is supposed to be a platonic site. We go into the meetup expecting platonic friendship. We get into an isolated situation that is a PERFECT opportunity for predators to harm us. The same reason why so many pedophiles become teachers, coaches, and youth group leaders. They’re in a position of trust that also affords direct access to unsuspecting victims. It’s pretty simple.

I'm pretty sure the video thing was because fans couldn't get that physical connection with their idols the past 2 years. You could just meet them at conventions like Comic Con before that.

And honestly, it's probably for the better. I've heard about celebs getting sexually harassed and groped by their fans. Fans can be crazy. If you put it out there that a celeb is available to hold close to you, some sicko will respond.

Catloaf

Here to say that not necessarily huge celebs will cuddle in droves, but public figures have sought out before. I have booked a couple of politicians in previous years, not through this site, but my own. This said, I did grow up with a doctor for a neighbour out at my grandparents' cabin who was the minister of finance, education, health and was quite close with the family for years. Bumping elbows with even relatively well known folks is normal, they do have needs.

People who have a public image of any kind can be very secretive about looking for this, and do require utmost respect and discretion. Luckily, my experiences have been positive.

Catloaf, that is a good point. Any prominent person would have a non-disclosure agreement so we would never hear about celebs cuddling even if they are right here in the CC forums and pros who have seen them are aware.

cuddleversed

Pushing boundaries, so the opinion I read a few comments ago is that celebrities couldn’t do cuddle sessions because people would push boundaries with them and their security personnel wouldn’t allow it.

Let’s see that from another perspective, a celebrity hiring a Pro cuddler and pushing boundaries themselves.
This actually happened a while ago, Taye Diggs hired a pro cuddler and pushed boundaries BIG time with her, it was all over the news at the time, which goes to show that they’re just like any other person as far as respect and self control goes.

The cuddler he pushed boundaries with is still on this site and she mentions that on her profile. I would’ve thought that because of that she could have raised her prices but she is actually one of the more reasonably priced Pro cuddlers on the site and has actually been on CC for a good while.

1. The reason fame is a route to wealth is because you get a mass audience and can extract money from many people at once. A one-on-one interaction like a cuddle is basically the opposite of that. I'll allow that maybe there's somebody out there who would pay Ariana Grande (or whoever) $50,000 (or whatever) to cuddle for a couple hours, but I still think releasing another album would be a much easier route to making money.
2. Safety?
3. Pro cuddling is very weird in the eyes of most people. It would be a scandal; people would assume the celebrity was involved in some kind of high priced prostitution.

Um... celebrities have been known to visit fans in person... not inviting them into homes but usually meeting some place neutral or showing up at the fan's house. Though typically this only happens through Make a Wish or some other similar charity.

The meetings in neutral places tend to happen more often as they're not always even planned cause celebrities are people too and some times they're just spotted out in the real world. Some of them are nice enough to stop and chat with a fan for a bit, take a photo, sign and autograph, whatever, others might be really rude cause they just can't be bothered. Of course they can't meet up with every fan that wants to meet them and they might be busy in which case there are also rude fans who try to talk to celebrities while they're clearly already in the middle a conversion with someone else. You If you're patient and don't interrupt them you might get lucky.

Anyway, I think the reason that Celebrities wouldn't cuddle a fan is because of paparazzi. One person takes a photo of a celebrity cuddling a fan and suddenly there's a hundred news stories asking who's their unknown boyfriend or girlfriend? If the celebrity is married he's accused of cheating on his wife just because he gave a female fan a friendly platonic hug. Anything more than a quick hug would give paparazzi even more opportunities to take photos and spin stories out of context. It also protects the fans cause if a rumor gets started that a random person is possibly dating a celebrity even if it was a totally platonic one time meeting the paparazzi could also end up following the fan around invading their privacy trying to get more photos of a random nobody just because they think that person might be dating a celebrity.

Paparazzi are terrible.

WriterGF

Are celebrities, as a rule, touch-deprived? It's an interesting question.

thecolorjade

They do, there’s a lot of red tape involved as well as contracts having to be signed that you’re not allowed to talk about ever meeting them.

I’ve had the honors of cuddling two different people but it wasn’t from CC and I was contacted by their assistant who weeded out people before even setting up a meeting. They’d have me park at a certain location and then I’d be driven to whatever location and it was a hotel each time and they had security in the next room. It was interesting nonetheless but you weren’t allowed to ask questions about their personal life, couldn’t bring your phone in and it had to be in the room where security was.

None of them really talked about their career but just talked about random topics. They wanted a cuddling service where they didn’t have to worry about being asked for autographs, harassed about work, etc.
