Reason I say this is I have a close friend who does the paid cuddling as a side hustle. We don't really get to hang out due to geography, but when we did hang out, I notice she was not really interested in cuddling. Well at least not "cuddle cuddle" , whatever that means. We shared space and stillness, and I played with her hair and scratched her back and held hands a little, but nothing really close or much in the way of "contact cuddling" so to speak. She also had pillows behind and in front of her, and was wearing the most amount of clothing you can wear indoors without being too hot lol. Not because she was uncomfortable with me or anything, quite the opposite, we are about as comfy with each other as can be. I didn't take this as anything bad at all, and I very much enjoyed the time I had and shared when we were just lounging around and relaxing. I am just curious, with the emotional drain and always having to be in "performance mode " with paying clients, plus some of the BS you have to deal with, does it ever get to where you just don't really want to be touched or anything? I personally am happy to just be the giver and don't really expect much in the way of cuddling, like constantly changing positions and being all shmooshed together etc, im happy to just hang out and share space. I'm just wondering if this is common. I obviously would love to cuddle all I can, I'm very touch deprived and pretty lonely at times, but then again its a different context and I'm not expected to play a certain role or part.
