[quote]At the age of 30, Hess is a professional cuddler. For $60 an hour, she'll intimately snuggle with strangers of all types, and bring them one-on-one cuddle time without the complications of a relationship.[/quote]
[quote]"That was my lightbulb moment," Hess says. "I was at a place in my life, out of a 13-year relationship, where I needed a service that didn't exist. I was struggling and not ready for another relationship but still had an inherent need to be accepted and loved."
Hess didn't know where to turn. She wanted physical comfort that was safe and socially acceptable to reach out to.[/quote]
She saw that vice documentary about the japanese cuddling and saw the empty niche at home
This just reads to me as, "I really want to exploit people who are mentally fucked up from a bad break-up by taking obscene amounts of money from them to provide them with "comfort"." Really, I'm pretty sure a therapist is cheaper than this chick.
Fat and ugly or just plain lonely women need cuddling too!! I'm quitting my day job to become a pro teddy bear.

Does this woman offer the bathtub special with fries?
She's no better than a prostitute.
I've hung out with her before haha (runs in the same loose circle of friends as me). She's a really cool girl!

Do you get freebies or a discount?

I guess if mentally whoring yourself out is cool then yeah, she is the bomb.

you guys sound salty
[editline]25th July 2014[/editline]
maybe cuz you couldn't even pay someone to be with you guys
OOOHHH DAMN
Didn't that creep Denko pay a girl a fuckton of cash to just cuddle with him?

That's not really what it strikes me as. Yeah, on a surface level I can see the comparison between prostitution and what she's doing, but to call them the same is disingenuous. Both are acts of physical intimacy, but equally so they fulfill different needs.
[QUOTE=ejonkou;45500170]She's no better than a prostitute.[/QUOTE]
Just because it's something that you shouldn't be proud to pay for or don't like it, that doesn't make it inherently bad.
She's going to wind up dead.
[QUOTE=ejonkou;45500170]She's no better than a prostitute.[/QUOTE]
She is, because she doesn't even need to have sex, risk STDs and stuff like that to make money. Genius

Sign me up, How much?
Where's the guy who paid a prostitute for a hug when you need him?
[QUOTE=ejonkou;45500170]She's no better than a prostitute.[/QUOTE]
Oh so other things like charity kissing booths or t-shirts that say free hugs also make you a walking crab-shack? Little did I know.
I remember hearing about this on TV once. I'm not sure if it's the person that also does 24 hour/all night cuddling for $300.
I can only imagine the amount of boners she's felt.

Yep cause she's forcing people to give her money for cuddles.
I couldn't do that, I would find it way too awkward and uncomfortable. Not to mention I have way better things to spend $60 on. I don't understand what you would get out of it other than just being really close to a person of the opposite sex, she's a stranger to them too. I know that's literally all this is, but she makes it out like it goes deeper than that on an emotional level and that's what I don't understand.
But hey if this is for you then go for it, I'm not judging anybody.
How lonely do you need to be to spend cash just to spoon someone

You clearly have no idea what a therapist is if you think they're cheaper than 60 an hour.
[QUOTE=TheTalon;45500379]Sign me up, How much?[/QUOTE]
Well she's been doing it for a bit at 60. I'll set flat rates for women at 40 and men at 45. Sweet tender talk in the ear is an extra 10. Once I get a reputation for myself the rates may gradually increase 5-10% every 6 months or depending on the market trends. However shoulder and back rubs are included and I have some masseuse training that makes it worth it.

Because prostitution is illegal and morally wrong! Oh wait, no, it's not. It's legal in the US in Nevada, and tightly regulated. Religion and idiocy are what've turned it into a stigma, not any actual logical based thinking.
I can't imagine the amount of men that get angry at her when she doesnt have sex with them
this is dangerous business and you better have some sort of insurance or at least a good checkup before meeting a client and even then people can be shady
