Hello Pro Cuddlers! Would you go on a week vacation with one of your clients?
Just with ones I’ve established a good connection with. The ones that respect that this is my job, will pay me and not try to “woo me”. I wouldn’t want to be on a week long trip with someone that ends up professing undying love to me, or tries to get frisky or even worse, wants to hurt me. I have a good amount of snugglers that I’m suuuuuuper close to that I think I would have an absolute blast with!!
I can see doing a day trip or a weekend trip with a pro but anything more than that would be too much. Like @Sheena123 said, it would likely have to be with someone I know and get along with well. Rules would have to be established etc Eveb my wife and I who get along extremely well, will eventually get on each others nerves or annoy each other when on vacation lmao
Yeah if someone was willing to pay upfront - a big chunk of money; and then continue to pay for all the activities- during the week, and it was someone I knew and trusted and had never felt any uncomfortable-ness while cuddling with them, then yes, I’d take a week long vacation- But I imagine that’s highly unlikely to happen,
That's a vague question. I'm not a pro, but I travel alone and with other people, and it takes a great relationship to withstand me giving up my autonomy for more than a day. (I've also ended a relationship after a weekend getaway because it was anything but fun.) - How long is the vacation? - Do they have an established Pro/Client relationship? - The Client IS willing to pay the Pro up front? - Have they (Pro/Client) already done an overnight or weekend session? - Does the Pro get a say in what activities happen? Or participate? - Does the Pro get stipulated personal time? (Not including sleeping) - Is the Pro expected to sleep with the Client (literally sleep, boundaries respected) or will there be 2 beds? - Does either person have sleeping/medical issues that could affect rest? - Does the Pro get to decide on transportation? There's a big difference in a 12 hr drive vs 2 hr flight. - If driving, is the Pro expected to share driving? - Is the Client paying for ALL meals, lodging, activities and transportation? This is NOT included in the Pro's fee.
If I was a Pro, I would probably decline. I wouldn't want to be dependent upon someone else's schedule or itinerary.
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.
Endless list of things that can go wrong.
@WestsideMarc
I didn't mention that once the Pro gets paid, she could walk away. Or the Client could be a jerk and push boundaries. Or if the Pro doesn't have her return ticket or own transportation, she could be SOL if anything happens.
@jillyain
a big chunk of money; and then continue to pay for all the activities- during the week
If I asked a pro and that was her reply, I would move on to someone else. I understand the pro expects to be compensated but that just sounds so obnoxious.
@WestsideMarc It could be if everything wasn’t spelled out really clearly. I think I would almost want a contract! There would have to be some extreme compatibility there also. That’s the case with traveling with anyone!
@Sheena123 Yes, 100% all of that!
When I was a pro, I was asked a few times to be a paid travel companion. I never did, I didn’t think it would work out. I was pretty sure they expected more than platonic arrangements. Plus, I had responsibilities here that would prevent me from being away that long. I was a really busy Cuddler also lol believe it or not!
@Morpheus I certainly would not ask for ‘a big chunk of money’ And as I said, it’s highly unlikely anyways.
I would feel bad taking money for a vacation to be honest, but if someone legitimately requested a cuddler to take a vacation with them, they would be expecting to pay - ‘a big chunk of money’
There are pros on here who do charge large amounts of money for multiple days/nights
That is what I call a big chunk of money.
And I guess They get bookings?
You’re really only going to ask someone you have a good relationship with. Someone who trusts you, and the two of you should discuss everything beforehand and then just act like 2 normal people on a trip together. I’ve done a few and they are fun. I remember a past thread where someone asked what happens if you bump into each other in public or notice each other. The replies were so extreme. One suggestion was to sit down and think out what the ramifications were. I’m like act like normal people, if both are alone just say hi, if not alone just walk on by. It’s shouldn’t be rocket science :-)
I travel with a lot of my regulars, going to be out in Europe this month. I feel it’s always best as long as they don’t mix up things around
@starrynitecuds
WOW
If the Pros ever form a Union-They just found their President
Talk about extremely intelligent and well thought out.
You could be a GM for a Sports Team or a Military Planner with that type of forethought.
VERY impressive.
@Morpheus Yes, I didn’t like the way that sounded either. And I probably wouldn’t expect every single thing to be paid for by the client. I mean, that could feel almost uncomfortable. I think it’s better to work out a set $$ for the trip if that were going to be done. I am used to paying my own way for everything, if I meet a Cuddler first for coffee I pay for myself I don’t want to feel obligated to anyone because they paid for something.
Why would the client pay for anything besides cuddling?
@Aicha88 that’s awesome. So you’re client pays for your trip and expenses. How much do you make in addition to that?
I have gone on a vacation with a pro friend I have made here. We stayed in the same room but both paid for our own stuff. I didn’t actually cuddle since I didn’t have money for it (and I def didn’t try to get free cuddles out of her), but if I had the $$$ I would have booked sessions. She was able to get some sessions in (the reason for her trip) and she asked me if I’d like to tag along to see the sights and hang out. It was just a trip between two friends and it was awesome.
@SeekerInVA because the professional is at work the whole time. The employer/client always pays subsistence and other expenses for business travel.
If you take a pro on vacation, pay for all expenses and pay her in addition to that, that’s sugar baby/daddy behavior, not pro cuddler/client behavior.
@CuddleDuncan more like getting a free vacation. At the most, you might cuddle for a few hours a day.
…Hence the word “endless” in my previous post.
But I DO understand the appeal of it all in theory @Drop_the_Mike ! (Having a good woman by your side while can exponentially greaten your vacationing experience. Or anywhere in life for that matter)…
@BrianOcean
hmmm. No union for me. I'm not a Pro. But I do travel with friends and family. Just thinking logically about problems I've experienced, like sleep apnea. I hate when I go with someone and they think we're conjoined 24/7. No, we're adults. I can't imagine if someone was paying me to be their buddy, and I didn't have a choice about my activity or any privacy except the bathroom. It would be exhausting and absolute hell.
I wouldn’t go on a week long vacation with just anyone I’ve cuddled with, but I’d definitely go on a week long vacation with someone if we’ve cuddled many times and had at least a couple overnights first. At that point I should trust them enough to go on a trip. If I don’t feel like I can trust them on a trip, I won’t go. If I did go, of course payment would need to be up front/before. All accommodations would be at the clients expense.
I haven’t gone on a vacation with someone I’ve cuddled but I have had someone from out of town vacation here and we stayed together 4 nights. Created a lot of trust and intimacy. It was really nice and I’d love to do something like that again.
Many comments seem to show that you can’t imagine that there are all kinds of people here who have different priorities, who spend their money in different ways than you might. And who also have a lot of money to spend however they want. The idea of paying for pro to go on a trip with them may seem perfectly fine and normal and I have a feeling people do it all the time. Just because it wouldn’t be something you would do - I mean try to imagine that there are people different than you. It seems like many if you have very limited life experience. And that’s fine too.
@BrianOcean especially. Based on your comments and a lot of different forum posts, I think maybe it’s really difficult for you to relate to something that is not your own way of life.
@Morpheus good point, but judging from the sheer amount of Pros who offer availability for vacations and requiring all expenses paid plus their rate, sugaring like that IS allowed here, (some even add that there can be cuddles.)
Hiring a platonic vacation companion, someone you’re not in a relationship with, don’t want to be in a relationship with, but want the company. And keep it “professional”as a type of boundary. Why is that a “sugaring, sugar baby, sugar daddy” situation? It doesn’t sound like that at all. Ive worked as a caregiver and a paid companion before to people who are lonely, Need help with things, may be older than me? Housesitting and Petsitting included. There’s nothing sugary about that. Just paying for my time while in their company. You people seem to be adding in a lot of questionable implications that don’t have to be there
@CuddleDuncan The terms client and employer aren't interchangeable here. Clients definitely are NOT employers here. That's a whole different set of laws, regardless of the country. US employers have taxes, I-9s, etc. If a Pro is an employee, the Client would be required to verify a Pro's identity with different forms of government-issued identification. Clients would also have to issue Pros tax forms. Very messy.
I would definitely consider it with several of my regular clients. I love travel, I’m easy to get along with while traveling and would expect to have travel expenses paid and some hours of cuddling per day at least roughly equivalent to whatever I would have been billing at home. I’d need a dog sitter too so maybe that expense would be built in. And we’d have to discuss excursions/free time. A contract sounds like a good idea so there is a framework to work around and as few surprises as possible. I can go go go or be chill with a book and fade into the Background if needed…I can have fun at a chess competition or would love to go to a ComicCon convention…but fingers crossed that my imaginary companion invites me to Europe or cruising! Lol it’s intriguing to imagine anyway. Ok back to reality and Happy 4th!
Some of y’all need to rethink your motivations for being on this site. Sites like seeking, may better suit your wants and desires.
That being said, I think a much better alternative is to go on vacation by yourself and book sessions with local pros.
I don't know if I like anyone enough to go on a weeklong trip with them
This is the inevitable result when you monetize something that used to be free.
