Cuddle Shop

 

[Mr Seal The Albatros]

I'd be a regular... if it didn't cost 60$

I seem to recall seeing a free hugs thread around here somewhere Mr Seal

 

[Mr Seal The Albatros]

Oh lovely. I'll go take a look if I need one then. Thank you.

 

[DariusArgent]

I thought cuddles were free? =(

 

[Lilith]

That is quite bizarre. And creepy, in a way.

There is a website / business which offers "cuddle parties", pretty interesting...

 

[SofiasMami]

There is a cuddling business only 2 blocks from my work. I happened to see it because my doctor's office is right next door. I don't think business is booming there, though, I never see anyone there when I drive by! Not sure how I feel about cuddling up to a stranger, although if I didn't have a kid that likes to cuddle, I would consider it

Cuddles are nice with someone you love.

Nothing is free, not when there is a demand and a supply.

This would not work for me because I reserve this activity only for people I actually care about deeply. I would only feel comfortable if I was dating someone or in an actual relationship. But if people find value in this service, I think that's great. It's just not for me.

 

[OnlyMe]

To be hugged and kissed by someone who I truly care about is a dream of mine.

Paying to be hugged by someone would only leave me feeling worse afterwards.

 

[SophiaGrace]

I'd probably be like ...strangers b touchin' me......

No.

So basically it's "I dont really like you, but if you give me $60 I will pretend to like you for an hour". An entrepreneurial activity exploiting the unfulfilled needs of the lonely. A lesser form of prostitution in my mind.

Do you have a wider range of services on offer at all, at discount to forum members ? Sort of Lonely life Cuddles Plus ?

$60 for an hour of cuddles....with no strings...sounds good to me

 

[lonelyfairy]

What did I just read? Cute idea, though. People don't cuddle enough. ^_^

Reminds me of...

[Peaches]

why pay when there are so many rehab groups and Coda meetings available? (Fight Club shows the way)

 

[Darrell_Licht]

That kind of tells me our civilization is becoming more cold and insular when services like this start to exist.

Reminds me of when Opus would to call '1-900-Dial a mom' whenever he needed motherly advice/affection.

 

[sothatwasmylife]

Either that or it's simply the market responding to a target market...Historically possibly there was some sort of provision 'Croneworld Cuddles' I don't know...but I think that anything that brings to the fore...basic human needs in order to thrive isn't such a bad thing and I shall be approaching my GP at the earliest opportunity for a manly embrace subsidized hopefully by the NHS.
