Nominate your favorite male pro cuddlers!

justjennn

I'm getting quite a bit of press right now and a recurring question that is coming up is in regards to male cuddlers. Who are your favorite male cuddlers that I can interview and eventually, refer out? Tag them below and let me know what city/state they live in!

OhioMike

@justjennn so cool 😎 of you to do this ! And congrats on the press coverage. You are an excellent speaker and ambassador for the cuddle community and we admire you so much.

Ohmygosh , my fav male cuddler ? There is def a couple come to mind but ones I’ve actually been involved with cuddling … I gotta nominate @safensecure4u2 He’s a great friend for me and an all star ⭐️ person … like you ! 🤩

Oh and he’s in the Carolinas but currently deactivated here !

justjennn

@OhioMike those words are a balm to my soul! Thank you for saying that 🥹

He has and always will be my favorite favorite male cuddler. I wish he wasn't so far away! When I interview male cuddlers, I compare them to his skill and expertise in this field.

OhioMike

@justjennn awww 😊. We have quite a few super male pros and they are really some super cool Trail Blazers for the cuddle community!
Here is @safensecure4u2 and @OhioMike visiting Niagara Falls ! Can’t believe he didn’t throw me in ! 😆😆😆

There are currently five male professional cuddlers within 300 miles of me.

Three joined this month, have minimal profiles, and no karma.

One has been here for about a year, but has no karma.

And the last one has been here four years, and has two karma reports, but both are from professional female cuddlers from a few years ago.

The law of large numbers says there is probably a male pro who is getting clients, but I have yet to see them.

justjennn

I noticed the very same thing @CharlesGrove about my own area. It's a tricky thing to find these days. I am hoping I can develop a nationwide network of males that I can refer and then let my clients decide who they want to go fly to see.

justjennn

@OhioMike goodness gracious! Making me miss y'all's hugs something fierce!! Sending you so much love.

@justjennn

I do wish there was a market for male cuddlers, but there simply isn’t. Or rather, that market is so minimal, sporadic, and fraught with so many real and imagined patriarchal problems that it isn’t consistent enough to be more than a random hobby.

One thing that would be great, as a man, would be to be cuddled by someone as large and strong as I am, simply because it hasn’t happened since I was a child, and it seems like it would be nice to cuddle someone without worrying too much about harming them with my size and strength.

And, not to be all sexist and stuff, but to cuddle someone while nerding out about the baseball game we are watching, and “ARE YOU BLIND, REF!?!”, sounds fun, right?

But again, this culture has some ISSUES, so here we are.

@nurturingman, @cuddler5617 and @safensecure4u2 My list is either deactivated or no longer pro but they are all worthy of shoutouts!!!💯🦸🏿‍♂️🎉I had the pleasure of cuddling with all of them!!!🤗🫂

AlyLauren

Just came to this thread so I can see some male cuddlers!! I would love to see more of them. I tend to visit the profile of any male pro I come across and I have NEVER seen one with karma. A couple wonderful men I know made pro accounts and got approved but never got a message.

At this point, I'd hire one myself just to encourage some men who want to be a part of the community! 😊 thanks for this thread!!

justjennn

@AlyLauren couldn't agree with this more!! It's so vital to our industry that we have male representation. I have so many women that have experienced trauma and could use a trained male that can do what I do with men! I just need to start recruiting, I think!

OhioMike

@justjennn You’re making me blush ☺️! Miss you !

@SuperManCuddles those are some good names on your list. Especially @nurturingman His energy is contagious and I was always rooting for him here ! His hugs are almost as big as yours lol 😆

@AlyLauren excellent comments 👍

Immersedwarmth

@justjennn Hey. I'm a bit confused in that the heading says "pro male cuddlers" but this thread and your original inquiry widens it to simply "male cuddlers."

SuperManCuddles

@OhioMike Thank you! I always appreciate you’re positive energy and hugs 🤗 🫂 🦸🏿‍♂️🎉

@justjennn you started taking about make pros, but in your last comment you mention how beneficial it would be to have a trained male to do what you do. I don't think I have ever met a pro (male or female) who was actually trained or had studied in any way except for my very first cuddle in 2017.

pmvines

The only two I know personally are @nurturingman and @safensecure4u2 so it's not really a long list for me and I hate to play favorites so they both get a blue ribbon from me as great humans

nurturingman

Thanks, @SuperManCuddles , @OhioMike , and @pmvines ! I've enjoyed cuddling with you, as you know. To @4bearhugs , I am Cuddlist trained and certified; I just wasn't getting enough work to warrant paying to be listed on Cuddlist.com or as a Pro here. I hope in the future more people will be happy to pay men to cuddle them; until then, I'm keeping up my skills by cuddling with other enthusiasts for fun.

I would love for there to be more male cuddlers that are making this their career. I made a post a while back asking men in this space how they feel about cuddling other men, it became negative but thankfully it didn’t get too bad. I tried to have a real conversation about loneliness, but there is also a portion of the conversation on refusing to cuddle with another guy. This refusal restricts a pro male cuddler from being able to have clients. I do think it is valid to choose not to cuddle with a particular gender based on fear and past history of violence. But again, this brings up a real and uncomfortable conversation. I personally love the uncomfortable conversations, its where progress starts. Of course it should still happen respectfully.

Tl;dr don't know any male pros but would love to see more! Seems like there has to be some changes in perspective for it to be a possibility.

Awww @justjennn adore you and what you stand for.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🩵💜💚💛❤️💗

I heard that radio show and I'm SO excited for you. https://open.spotify.com/episode/4eQu8iU4QDnIYY8A17gbgy?si=eN1wLeZCRBWMfx_0NjaNHA

As you know there are lots of men wanting to be pros but unfortunately some are for nefarious reasons.

I have to second @safensecure4u2 but he is deactivated at the moment. Another one who was delightful was @chris5617 and of course @nurturingman in AZ. @munkg was on his way as a Pro and FREAKING DELIGHTFUL but family circumstances changed a bit and I think he deactivated as well.

I also see @RadiantHugs for a nominee because he facilitates cuddle parties kind of like you. And @frankparker9 is a new to leading cuddle parties as well I believe.

@4bearhugs there LOADS of Pros who get training on multiple platforms. @justjennn is a prime example.

There are also plenty of Pros with no training. They have good hearts and a desire to nurture so they move forward learning as they go.
And of course as with anything there are plenty of people with NO training, no desire to grow, and thought beyond the beautiful moment of the immediate. Just as all clients have a different need there’s a Pro for that.

All have benefit and detriment. All of these people will offer a paying client a different kind of experience.

Everyone has to be mindful and do their due diligence in finding a good fit for their needs and personality etc.

nurturingman

BTW, @CharlesGrove , I'm not sure how much I could yell at the TV with you since I'm not much of a sportsfan, but I'd be happy to cuddle with you while you do! 🤗 (Just don't yell in my ear, haha.) Your size does not intimidate me. :-)

cuudledragon

@sillysassy ty for sharing the link to the Spotify link! I’m just gave it a listen! It was absolutely lovely!

☺️💕🤗

OhioMike

Oh man I didn’t remember @RadiantHugs (thanks @sillysassy )

Super duper ambassador for the community. And one of the nicest calmest peep I’ve met 👍👍

@nurturingman If only space were as illusionary as time, my friend!

CharlieBear

I don’t think I know any men that have been able to maintain being a pro here.

Mike403

^Especially if they only cuddle women when a majority of them would choose the bear over a man.

OverTheMooon

Man, I was worried we'd find 0 male pros. But I found 2 in New York with a couple clients. And 2 in the San Francisco area. There's 1 in West Hollywood with a few repeat clients 👍

I don't want to @ them, because I don't know them personally and that feels weird. But, yeah, we have a handful of male pros across the US.

Edit: I should also mention their clients werent women

Connecticut1977

I nominate @OhioMike and @nurturingman

OhioMike

@Connecticut1977 Hey appreciate the shoutout 😊 but I’m not a professional cuddler … just an everyday regular shmoo who appreciates everyone in our community including the male professionals here ! 👍

I have never cuddled with a pro male cuddler, though of course I wish them (and everyone, really) well in their endeavors, so I don't have a favorite.

I was at a cuddle party recently and did have a conversation with a guy, who isn't on CC though he knows about this site, and he told me that he couldn't get any traction when he started with just marketing to women and he didn't want to cuddle with other men.

But he thought about it and realized that he was trying to build a business and like anything where you are trying to ethically make money providing a service not everything "gets to be fun all the time," though he explored his feelings and realized he could hold space in a nurturing way for other men in a platonic way though it took a few months of internal self exploration for him to fully realize this.

I agreed with him and pointed out that was definitely the case when I was running my massage practice and later a spa; I used that example since it is in many ways kind of an adjacent business, especially when I was doing it years ago and it was less mainstream like cuddling is now.

So he started slowly platonically cuddling with men, starting with trusted friends, then becoming open to limited male clients he felt the vibe was right with, who also were experienced platonic cuddlers, to today where while the demand isn't huge it is there--enough for cuddling a 95% male clientele to be a "useful side thing" for him.

He also told me he goes to cuddle parties as self care not to try and generate business, which you aren't supposed to be doing there in any case, but to "experience some feminine energy and cuddling where money isn't so much in the equation."

Good for him, I say, and it seems a bit of a possible blueprint for aspiring or struggling male pros who are serious about making good on the pro side of things.

Maybe we should start a thread nominating guys whi we think should be pro?
