Would you be more willing to meet strangers to cuddle if you were paid?

Imagine this hypothetical scenario with me:

Excluding whatever it takes to be an official pro cuddler (that is, you don't need any experience or certification), if some single guy/girl (basically, I'm saying there's a possibility of romantic attraction), around your age, posted an ad looking for a platonic cuddle buddy, and offered to pay x amount of $ per hour, would you be more interested in trying that out, or would you flag and stay away from it because money was involved?

Most pro cuddlers are $80/hr, so assume the $ per hour is less than that. Assume there's no obvious or immediate red flags, and you'd have an opportunity to meet / talk or see the person first before meeting to cuddle. And at least per looks/personality, they don't appear to automatically be someone you'd jump to cuddle with for free (so to speak).

What do you all think, would your desire to cuddle increase/decrease with money being involved?

    My standards would be the same, paid or not. I require a certain amount of compatibility, and their appearance needs to be nonthreatening and otherwise acceptable.

    Admittedly if I wasn't paid my standards would be higher and I wouldn't be as patient with explaining and taking time to message people back quickly etc. But I don't think money should be used as an incentive for anyone who doesn't want to be a Pro.
    Money can create an unbalanced power dynamic and if the non-Pro paid cuddler isn't experienced or now feels obligated to the payer then that could actually create a situation that could result in pushed boundaries. For non-Pros it will always be better to just slowly work up to a cuddling relationship through messages, chats, and/or public meets.

    To any non-pros who are being offered money (and I would consider that a flag and attempt at control first off, but let's assume the money is a good incentive), some training Pros have is that you are not obligated in ANY way to the person paying you - even to give them the time they've paid you for if they push any of your boundaries or do anything that feels off to you. No contract needs to be in writing, just leave or escort them out if they are at your house.

    The money is yours to keep. You have absolutely NO obligation unless you are having a good time and feel safe. I have fired so many clients over the years I've lost count, and the services never even require an explanation beyond "I wasn't comfortable" or even "I didn't want to deal with that" (I had one call me several times a day everyday for a week week despite being told I wasn't available. This is an example of alarming behavior, and there are countless others).

    Taking money isn't wrong at all, that I'm aware of, do whatever you both agree to. The difference is, Pros have been trained in the above and so I'm passing it along just in case. The power dynamic is always on your side no matter what. When I'm offered obscene amounts of money, I bail, too FYI.

    I would be less willing to meet up with someone. Having it be mutually desirable without any incentives outside of cuddles is important to me. If I were to accept money I just wouldn't feel comfortable.

    Ditto what Jason said. I enjoy the mutual enjoyment without the incentives. More pure, sincere and beneficial to me.

    I'd prefer unpaid cuddles but there are so few women in Tallahassee willing to do that -- or even to cuddle for pay -- that unpaid cuddles are not really an option. I don't mind paying but can't afford to pay for the level I need -- several times a week at least!
