I’ve only ever done one overnight, but it was with a pro who also packaged it with accommodations and a “retreat” of sorts. The price was really for the full experience, and it made sense.
Most of my sessions are 2-3 hours. The longest I’ve done other than the one overnight is 4 hours.
I’ve paid up to 100 an hour, but usually stick to pros priced at 80 an hour. In my experience, those sessions have amply provided me with what I need, so I haven’t tried paying more. The general rule I apply is that if a service costs less or about what I myself earn on an hourly basis, I don’t think too much about buying it, but once the rate exceeds my own hourly rate my resistance to spending for it increases dramatically.
What kind of person can afford longer session? Don’t get me started on prices lol I don’t see pro cuddlers nearly as much as I used to due to the higher prices that have happened over the years. That being said, pros generally offer discounts on multi hour sessions. I would rather pay $400 for 5 hours than $130 for one hour. I don’t know if that answers the question though lol
What do long sessions provide that something like a two hour session does not? As I said above, value at times if there is a discount. Also sometimes an hour just goes by too quickly.
Are you a repeat cuddler here? I’ve been on CC since October 2015.
What type of job do you have? Management.
What's the longest session you've booked? Overnight 8 hours that turned into 13 hours at no extra cost.
What's the most you've paid a Pro before? $600 for the above mentioned overnighter.
@frankparker9 to be fair I said quality time because my brain was following the thought process of activities and social bonding, I actually meant Physical touch.
Software engineer....so like coding? Like UIX, Python that stuff?🧐
[in my experience (even if the client can afford it). If you ask pro cuddlers about doing random activities with you for companionship, some will say a version of, "I'd be more comfortable spending our time cuddling, because that's the service I'm offering."]
They are making their professional boundaries for Them clear. Does not mean Cuddle Therapy has to be limited Stictly to Only the physical act of cuddling. What someone offers, is customizable to the provider of the service and what they are comfortable with.
Also that is specifically why i focus my services with the Neurodivergent and LGBTQ communities, because the body doubling, stimming (cuddling is a form of stimming) info dumping on special interest.
I mean you said it yourself Rent-A-Friend Is fine with some pros
Hello, I am one 👋🏾
@FunCartel yea bro, same. That's why I wouldn't sleep at an overnight session. The insomnia too but whatever
@cuddlefaery yea I saw that forum and read the rant earlier this morning. It did say cuddle Focus doesn't exclude cuddling and info dumping on special interest or playing cards against humanity there's like a hotel offering amenities doesn't divert from the main focus of a offering travelers a place to sleep.
@KaaGee if body doubling is a new term for you, wait till I explain the ADHD Tax You'll either feel seen or slightly guilty & attacked
@LadyVel body doubling & cuddling is the best. I need more Neurospicy people who get that.
@WriterGF Spoilers 🤫
@teddybear888 lol 😏
I’ve had a couple overnight cuddles with returning clients. But my rate is only 520 for 10 hours and there’s three hours of real Cuddling because I only need seven hours of sleep. But I do agree that it’s still a lot of money. if someone comes a long way I will give them three hours of cuddling with an overnight session for free. I agree with everyone though we’re pretty much sleeping in the middle of the night so it’s hard to charge someone. But I have to feel extra comfy and cozy with someone to cuddle with them overnight.
@KnightTimeMagic The Google and I are well acquainted, and this tax.... yep, it's a for real thing. I have friends that have it as well. It's like we run in packs lol Looks like I'll have more to talk to my provider about tomorrow than I originally thought! Ok, done derailing and off to bed... assuming I can sleep now! If you start another thread on this topic I'll definitely participate! G'night y'all.
