60 bucks an hourfor a hug with a stranger?
:conf:

A Penfield, N.Y., woman is offering customers an hour of cuddling for a cool $60.
"There are different kinds of cuddling positions, but I typically always start out spooning and I am pretty small, so usually I'm the little spoon," Jacqueline Samuel, who runs "The Snuggery" out of her upstate cottage, told Metro when her business opened early this summer.
Regular human touch has been proven to release the hormone oxytocin, which boosts people's happiness.
"There is an increase in your immune system, your ability to fight infection, and decrease inflammation," Dr. Asma Sadiq of Beth Israel Medical Center told CBS2.
