masks during session

I was messaging a pro cuddler, hoping to make sure that we were on the same page of things before our first appointment together. I mentioned that I would be wearing a surgical mask during our session, and asked if I could count on her to as well. She messaged back that we would not be having a session after all, that she cannot cuddle when either person is wearing a mask.

I was wondering what others think about this.

    Every pro is different. I actually don’t know if there’s a rule on this. I only know my own situation. If I have a cuddler that asks for masks to be worn, I would wear one.
    Maybe keep that on your profile that you and your cuddler have to wear masks. It might help solidify that’s a major must for you.
    Good luck

    I've cuddled with both people wearing masks. It's fine, it really is. Yes it's mildly annoying, especially for the first ten minutes, but the truth is that it's not a huge deal.

    I've also cuddled somebody with a mask while I wasn't wearing one. After three seconds I forgot she was wearing a mask. Really not sure why you would object to that, it simply doesn't affect you.

    I know several professional cuddlers who require masks. I entertained the idea of cuddling with masks during lockdown before I started cuddling again but got tremendous pushback and I soon realized I could not earn a living on this platform if I was going to have a mask requirement. I make my sessions mask optional and leave it up to the clients. I do question of the efficacy of masks in the context off cuddling due to the close proximity and the mask being repositioned while laying down.

    I'm tested monthly for covid as I help my grandmother with her health and being a rare exception to visiting in ICU, ect. as an unofficial caregiver, but more so as a loving granddaughter, she is well now, so hopefully no more hospital trips.

    I wear masks when I'm out and about, which is rare as I work from home. I still sanitize my doorknobs and what not, even though we are all drained from this pandemic, other people's health is important to me.

    However, as per any session with a client, I work with them on what makes them comfortable. If they want a mask, cool. If not, it's their decision ultimately. I do not force it. I do suggest it and keep a whole box of unused masks in case they want a fresh one.

    I do change sheets between clients, shower, sanitize, change clothing and even sometimes mop my room, because I'm like that lol lol. I did that pre-covid too.

    Just like religion, or politics, I never force my thoughts on others. The same applies to science and medical practices, even if I think it's practical to do, doesn't mean others agree. That's for all of our choices, whether we do something or not. 😊
