60 bucks an hourfor a hug with a stranger?

:conf:

I actually find this a bit disturbing, as it seems to be aimed at exploiting lonely people. Is it just another form of rinsing?

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.

That's savage value!!!

:amazed: -deletes my money worries thread; this is the solution-

are you a lady?

I think it's sweet and all above board. I don't think it's any more exploitative than psychics or life coaches or massage therapists or any of those other hippy dippy new age types.

Oooh even with the money, i couldn't hug random people

really? for $60 an hour i definitely could, as long as they had a shower first. I think it'd be nice. i like cuddling. I'd be good at this job.

I'm a good spooner. i know how to do this thing with my leg where i massage yur thighs. All of my exes have said that i was a good cuddler. Plus i have a lot of really soft leg hair, so that helps.

dont do it in zee's bed tho!

This. And I think it's one of those "thinking outside the box" kind of ideas to make a living that isn't hurting anyone. Speaking of which, I do wonder if people are first screened or if a bodyguard is on the spot.

Yes Good Easy Cash
was on ITV1HD Daybreak this morning.

No Sex

Clever Lady

I just think its a bit odd really :s. and i would only want to cuddle if i knew the person, id feel mean earning on their loneliness

Its like a nicer, less seedy, fluffier version of prostitution :)
