It might be much cheaper to just get a cuddle pillow.

Here is the version for female...there are plenty out there for guys.

Being a man I do not see an 80 dollar value in "snuggling" .

I get that. I just didn't get the connection of why pay for A when you could get B since they're not the same.

Hey, if she makes money doing it, more power to her. I feel sad that in this day and age, people feel the need to pay someone to hug them. Loneliness is an awful feeling to have, and I think our high tech world causes more lonely feelings than it alleviates.

I don't see the value of spending $$ for cuddling with someone who is only doing it for the greenbacks. As the poster above said a dog would be better to cuddle with, At least it's an intelligent living thing that can love. Surly the money could be spent on going somewhere to potentially meet someone for cuddling, relationship, friendship etc. $80 is more then enough for someone single to go out and grab some drinks, see live music etc.

I find this specific concept creepy and weird for some reason. It's like there is a replacement for a genuine human being for everything nowadays. We grow further apart. Texting instead of calling, calling or video messaging instead of meeting etc.

That's what I'm thinking. If you need non-sexual contact with another living thing why not get a dog? Why pay some strange woman to cuddle with you when you could go to the pound and save a dogs life?

Totally weird. It gives a new meaning to "Escort service". Tata pillows better be standard.

I bet this started in Japan as they manufacture companion dolls one can have sex with as well as cuddle.

Well, it does look like the concept started off in Japan.
