Hello how many people have cuddled with a pro. During a session what do you think added value to the session? What made the session worthwhile to you?
All I need is to be genuinely held close.
What makes a session worthwhile to me is truly being in the moment with each other without distractions.
Undivided attention. There are so many distractions nowadays. This is not easy to come by and worth paying for.
Also compassion becuase this one of a kind. Compassion is not something than cannot be imitated.
There are many out there looking to make a quick buck. Not eveyone can be a facilitator (aka pro). Some are born with these skills, others take training. If someone isn't either of these two
DONT EVEN ATTEMPT
Reciprocation. I want the Pro/person i'm with to also feel warmth, comfort, and belongingness. Sharing, giving to each other. I like it when a Pro asks me to do things for them, or tell me their favorite gestures.
I appreciate it when they are present in the session and it seems to me as if they are enjoying the session as much as I am.
If there's no distractions, if they're genuinely having fun too
love these answers!
Unconventional love and acceptance; getting a gasp on boundaries: Speaking up for what I need and want; feeling safe and providing safety to my professional cuddling partner while letting go.
I appreciate and enjoy it when professionals pose questions to the forums.
I appreciate when: Her actions are kind, deliberate and intentional. She is alert and attentive for the session, and has done her part to eliminate distractions. She has already put in the time to be mentally and physically healthy. She quickly realizes when I need simple touch and closeness rather than chit chat. She doesn't wear heavy scents or perfumes. Her hair is soft, and natural, and she is ok with it being touched. She is attentive towards my boundaries as well as insisting on her own.
@1_teddybear That sounds lovely, indeed...can I join? 🫠

I’ve been with about a dozen pros and a half dozen or so enthusiasts. All have been good experiences but some have been exceptional 😊
To me, the best pros are the ones who can read my energy and adjust their touch accordingly. My energy is always respectful to my cuddle partner but I have cuddled when emotionally hurting and my partner, without saying a word, could sense that and spent more time holding and comforting me. Other times, I have cuddled when I was feeling fine emotionally and the touch was lighter and more “playful” for lack of a better word (things like light fingernail scratches on my arm).
Some of the best cuddlers I have found are Reiki practitioners which is something I would have rolled my eyes at a few years ago (before I experienced it for myself and felt it’s benefits).
@SunsetSnuggles , perhaps, but you're not a pro are you? BTW, if you were local I would already be sending you a message. Alas, we are spread out throughout the country here.
