I wanted to speak on what I see as one of the darker sides of professional cuddling which is attachment. I wanted to speak on this to share my experience which I hope in turn may help other clients and pros understand and possibly prevent bad attachment from happening.
I had a regular pro that I saw once a month for around a year or so. We had amazing chemistry and I genuinely felt like she enjoyed my company. After a year or regular visits, I had a spell where I ran short on money and wasn't able to pay for our regular cuddle sessions. I felt that seeing as we had such amazing chemistry and were what I perceived as, friends, she would be happy to do something with me that I could afford at that time such as lunch. I explained my situation and asked her if she wanted to have lunch and she made every excuse in the book to not do it. She would contact me every couple of weeks and asked me if I wanted to schedule a cuddle session and I again told her I was low on cash and suggested lunch again and she said she didn't have time for that. She had time for a paid cuddle session but not time for platonic friends lunch. I quickly learned that although I still feel she genuinely enjoyed my company, ultimately in the end, I was a client and she was a provider of a service and if money wasn't on the table, she no longer had time for me. I was sad about this for a long time and felt I lost a friend.
I'm over it now but I've dramatically changed my approach in dealing with pros. I still enjoy them and treat them nicely but I accept that regardless of how amazing it may seem and how amazing you may get along with them, it's in the end, a client provider relationship.
My advice to clients of professional cuddlers is to treat it as that and understand that in the end, they owe you nothing more than what you pay for. This doesn't make them bad people, most pros are quite amazing. For those of us with huge hearts, enjoy the moment you're in the cuddle and let it go when you're done, walk away and just be grateful.
