This is the strangest thing, I can't relate at all, I don't see how paying a stranger for hugs would help at all, since this stranger is only doing it because she's being payed, not because she cares about you. At least with a hooker you get to have some pleasure, but who knows, if you're lacking human contact and human touch that much it could help. Still strange though.

Maybe you just need to have more friends.

In my social circle friends hug each other. Women hug women and men, and men sometimes hug each other. The females lightly hug and a short almost air kiss on the cheek to male friends. Male friends may shake hands with male friends or a light hug depending on how close the friendship is.

It helps if there are European or Latin people in your group. I don't know how it got started, because I grew up in a very WASP home with no friendly hugs outside of family.

So true. I always caution my friends when I take them to meet my family members in Philadelphia or Puerto Rico that there will be an assembly line waiting to hug and kiss them

I still get thrown by the double kiss sometimes. ( one on each cheek) I'm always startled a bit.

My body temperature is usually 1.25 F below the normal human temperature. Anyone here ready to hug an ice chest for cooling down .

I saw and read about this service. One woman somewhere is making a fortune from all the men who desire simple, nonsexual affection. Cuddle Up To Me

I wonder, are there male cuddlers for women, too?
I know there was once a short-lived cuddling service in Madison, Wisconsin, and they had one man on staff. I'm pretty sure there are some entrepreneurial guys out there who have started their own business.

But I'd probably still want to make out with him so it wouldn't work.
So what kind of man would you cuddle with to just cuddle? I'm sensing an entrepreneurial opportunity here. I'm very nice, unthreatening, sweet and kind, not handsome but not horrifically ugly - more a teddy bear than anything else. Not someone women like, but someone women like.

I'm sensing that I might be the perfect guy for this gig.
