There is a wealth of information on this site but there are only so many hours in the day. I have always lived in rural places and I am relatively a beginner to this so please excuse me if I seem behind the times or backward. I intend no disrespect. We all understand the science behind the benefits of human touch/cuddling. Why has it not caught up to the medical field or some business franchise. It scares me to go to a stranger and have only their word that they are safe. I can understand it's off putting to have someone digging for info to ascertain your character but sometimes it is just a matter of safety (gauging with your gut). I would rather go to my doctor and have them write a refferal or go to a professional and have a clear written contract on paper. I applaud those of you who can navigate this with ease. I wish I could.
