I actual find this discussion humorous---the fact there are women generous enough to offer cuddling services is a godsend! PROs have every right to charge what the market bears and as clients we have every right to decide what to respond to for services. Life is very expensive, and I am far from rich--so I plan accordingly--I've noted some PROs offer discounts for repeat customers. The bottom line i there no reason to complain---it is a free market system---why should someone offer an intimate service for free? Agreeing to cuddle a stranger reflects great character and self-sacrifice--I wish everything was free--but its not and Cuddle Comfort isnt Walmart!

It's not always a service. I'm here to make friends I connect with in a meaningful way, and cuddle those friends. The idea of cuddling anyone who throws money at me does not appeal, at all. That's why I've always chosen to be an enthusiast.

@SunsetSnuggles oh my goodness! 😊. I never would have thought I would read what you just wrote on the Price Mega Thread 💛
For me I think $100 is reasonable for my services because if im basically moving my hands around and pampering (platonically) my clients for a 1 or so i think its a reasonable amount , so imma provide the awesome services they paid for 😁 and yes I do advertise special discounts every once in awhile like maybe holidays or for people who book more than a 3 hours
While it may have been buried I do want to bring up that there is literal risk associated with being a pro on this site. Not everyone we meet respects us and the site takes no responsibility. It's up to us to make sure we are safe.
Some of us really do need this to survive and find our prices more than reasonable. I became a pro on here after chronic pain prevented me from doing most "regular jobs".
But one hour is also never one hour. I have spent time and money to make sure my space is cozy. I spend money on special soaks and lotions that make me extra soft for my cuddles. I also spend time getting ready before each cuddle.
Beyond that pro's also stay active, we have to be on point. We aren't cuddling to relax, we are cuddling to help others relax. We take on a lot of emotional labor too. We are hearing about hard things and while we could technically say "I don't want to hear that" it is part of our job to listen.
I'm pretty sure clients don't "throw money" at pros. That's not a good thing to say.
@achetocuddle 🤣
Hey @Bella_Sera. You still have this …?
@OhioMike Ha! I do have one of these that shoots eerily realistic (fake) $100 bills.
And it truly never gets old
Yo I got 5k who wants to run away for a couple days lol 😆 like yesterday lol 😂
Hey there, I'm just curious, what's the most expensive hourly rate that you have come across on here? The most I've seen is $150 per hour, and to me, that is crazy.
That's because you are new and presumably do not understand the industry. For example, in some areas $150 is a common rate and is only a little above average.
I can't remember the exact highest rate I've seen but I it was somewhere around $2000ph. That was a professional who wanted to keep the profile active, but at that particular moment did not want any actual enquiries.
The highest price was something like $4,500 but that was for a specific form of long session. I don't know any more but I don't think the profile was there for very long.
$950 hr
High posted rates allows them to be more selective of who they cuddle with. They'll offer a discount if they like you enough.
I've seen a few pros advertise at $500 per hour. Too rich for my blood.
@CuddleDuncan I don't know that you would likely know this ... but do you happen to know if the $2000+ end up getting any bites despite not really wanting any? (just morbidly curious)
Mike403 is that guaranteed or just what you want to believe? It's a naive statement. There are many pros here who charge high fees to match what they charge on other sites. Let's not pretend that's not rampant here.
These days 200 is quite common for new pros, but the most was 550 in my area and wanted the first meeting to be public, but that profile deleted itself a month later
@GuyverGordon yes she did get a few enquiries, presumably from idiots. As a plan it didn't work quite as well as she'd hoped. She didn't accept any bookings, obviously.
@jackwallace - Somebody is actually paying $1,000+ per hour?
No, $950 hr. I didn't say $1000
@jackwallace - other people commented in this thread besides you.
If you go over to the Professional Cuddling section of the forums, there is a stickied thread on price disparity over there.
Personally I would never pay more than 40 an hour. If I'm paying 100 an hour, at that rate I'd rather just get a massage
The highest I’ve seen is $500. Personally, my limit is $150, and that’s only with people I’ve seen before.
WHAT?? No! What?! Seriously? You are joking right!?
@HealingSystem any updates with arranging a pro?. I read another of your post and seemed Mark was able to help you arrange one.
My goodness £950. Even £150 sounds a lot. Everything seems so pricey these days.
I've never seen anyone more than $150. Probably because that's where i set the filter.
@Mike403 you tagged me so I responded to your question.
Your reply to my answer makes no sense now:
I recommend if you don't want a reply from a person, don't tag them in your question.
@jackwallace - Because you responded to me about why some rates are high and I answered that comment with my question. I wasn't responding to your comment about $950 an hour.
Some of us really do this for a living! I have a business license, insurance, and I just had to rent a new space that's nearly twice what I was paying before. It's a real small business for some of us, please be understanding that a trained and certified cuddler is valuable.
Wow, I thought $250 was a lot. I don’t look at too many professional profiles anymore. I can not afford much these days.
