By the way (this is kind of in response to @StayTrue123), it's really not a struggle for me to pay for cuddle sessions. And unlike what @ubergigglefritz and @Sheena123 mention, I actually find the best way to see if a cuddler is a good fit for me is to just do a session. It's a lot easier to just spend a little money and actually cuddle.
That said, I still am not thrilled at the price.
If my local grocery store started charging $10/gallon for milk, could I afford it? Yes, of course. But I'd still wonder what the hell was going on and why they thought they thought they could get away with gouging me on milk.
