I've been looking for cuddling, and it's odd how hard that is to come by. I've seen mention of some cuddle services online for 60 dollars an hour, but they seem to be in New York or Philly etc, haven't seen any in Boston. And I haven't seen any women advertising as independent cuddle buddies on the usual sites.  

Paying an escort 250 or 350 etc just for cuddling isn't a great option. Maybe these 60 dollar ones are too much of a dream come true, but you'd think somebody would have a cuddle option for say 100, would be nice if say RSG had something like that. I know time is money, but it'd be mutually beneficial on a slow day.

Just weird when you can find a massage parlor with a handjob in every town, but finding a hug (affordably) is tough. Ha not to sound too lonely, what can I say, I'm a single guy, sometimes I want to cuddle. Plus it's not even illegal, why wouldn't it be more of a popular thing?

(And if anyone reading this does host for cuddling, definitely post a reply, thanks. I don't have messaging on here)

and if you are charging 300-500/hr (say) for full service, it would be difficult to justify 1/3 of that fee for the same time invested.

Maybe you should be looking for a girlfriend. I imagine there are civvie ladies out there who would love to cuddle the night away and not be expected to go the distance.

Hope you find her!

Tabu

Even a 60 dollar an hour cuddling gig is a lot more than any 9 to 5 job though. And I'm not just talking about escorts in particular, to some even that would be an enormous pay. It does seem to be a thing in some areas, just not around here much.

When you post something like this on a hobby board it's no different than asking why more girls don't offer 15 minute appointments or BJ specials.  Looking for discounted services, regardless of what those services may be, generally doesn't go over well on a board populated by men and women looking to buy and sell full services.  I also have a hunch that, while a good GFE gal will hug you until the cows come home as part of a $300 or $400 appointment it's probably lot tougher for them to work up the ambition to do that for $60.

I've heard of these services in other cities.  I don't honestly know if they have really been successful of not...

It is a real thing, and can be successful. Even here in Boston I have had a couple cuddle buddies, one for 70 an hour who moved. And there are services in NY etc like TheSnuggery that have been covered in news articles.

I'm not asking why every high-end escort doesn't offer this, so I don't know why this is looked at as competition. I just figure, even though this is a hobby board, there are also people who massage, fetishes, things other than full service. And even if somebody offers cuddling who isn't an escort, figure this would be a place people might know about it.

It's just a different way to make money, and can be a nice thing. I know firsthand for some it's a positive experience.

you should just post on craigslist.

Looking to cuddle for an hour, will pay $60, NOTHING SEXUAL

Good call, I have done that before. I'll probably go that route again soon. Though sometimes it takes a month or two to get a good reply that actually works out. Also backpage.

It seems strange to me there aren't more (or any currently) women advertising this service in Boston that I know of, it seems like the demand is there, and it can be a nice arrangement.

As a LMT…I have worked as an independent contractor MT for $40 to $60 per hour, and as a self employed business owner MT for $80 to $120 per hour. Either way…working with a state license is legal…but offering so called "cuddling" is so called "unethical" under that license (Notice I said under state law…not that we all shouldn't be giving and receiving at least 14 hugs a day (no charge…just give it away Everyday Peoples lol!) Warm and fuzzies and all that good earth stuff. But believe you me…if you are wishing non-sexual affordable human touch, with more than a dozen health benefits, therapeutic massage therapy is the way to go. Clothes on for the therapist, clothes off (optional) for you (but with a sheet or towel drape.) If you are looking for nude to nude contact, well, ummm….this could get a "little sticky". Capish? Book with an escort of beauty (inside and out), warmth, and intelligence and I trust and believe you will find which you seek.

Nobody has ever requested one. I offer lots of creative and unique kinds of dates, but men seem to want to stick to a gfe experience. There's a girl in Albany offering it also.

Thanks for the nice reply. I have found really nice warm escorts, who I see from time to time. I'd just like a hug more often than I can afford to see them, and it's nice to have a cuddle arrangement. That 14 free hugs a day idea sounds pretty nice.

For some reason massage therapy alone doesn't do much for me for this. It's nice, but I'd much rather be hugging and cuddling the masseuse. For me even a great massage doesn't satisfy my desire for hugging. Doesn't need to be nude. In general I have a pretty happy life, I just don't get any hugs. Ha okay it sounds sad when I put it like that.

Our rates are for OUR TIME and PROVIDING you a safe, clean incall

I have already read in the media that a few of these cuddle services are already being targeted by LE as they can't believe anyone would pay to cuddle.  Legally you need to have your work space inspected and get a license to have a legal cuddle  business.   The provider would be taking the same amount of RISK of violence  + arrest whether is 60 bucks to cuddle or 250 for fs?  Also many of these cuddle business are set up like the spa's where the 60 bucks is just to get in the door.  

This idea that BJ's should be at a discounted special is ironic, as a bj takes just as much effort as fs, especially for those of us that are the top rated bbbj providers in New England.   Even fetish/fantasy providers charge more for that service and yet you seem to think it is suppose to be cheaper.

I  would also think any person charging 60 bucks a hour, regardless of what the service is, they would need to have 10 visitors a day.  So your not visiting a SAFE INCALL.    

There will always be low prices ladies that have fewer options than the established providers, and you sound like the guys that call me and say "why is your rate so much higher than all the younger girls" and I tell them feel free to call one of them.   There are many risks involved with scrolling for the most desperate providers with these low rates.

Many of us love to cuddle and enjoy pillow talk, other ladies do not have the ability to be that intimate.   Regardless we still insist on being paid a fare rate

You're making incorrect assumptions about cuddle arrangements here. I know talking money is personal on both sides and I'm not here to criticize you or anything. But cuddle services usually set you up with outcall or incall to her house, and the independent cuddle buddies I've had have been at their house or apartment. College students, or somebody working at a coffee shop, etc. For some an extra 60 or 70 etc to cuddle with somebody is great, and they don't need 10 a day like you mention.  

As for if it's viable as it's own job and not supplemental, I couldn't say. I'm not sure why you think I'm just talking about providers. I never said the usual hotel escort situation would make sense for 60 an hour. I just mentioned that 60 an hour cuddle services exist, you're comparing these in a way I'm not intending. Just saying, you're criticizing something unfairly in my opinion. It's not anymore unsafe than online dating, some may want to meet somewhere first, it can be a nice thing like anything else.

There's an escort in this topic for example who does offer cuddling on their site for half of their usual hourly rate. For me it'd be nice to see more escorts doing that, not saying you have to, ha please don't be mad at me.

You're making incorrect assumptions by thinking cuddle girls are not erotic service providers.  A erotic service provider include erotic dancers, escorts, dom's, street workers, cuddle girls, bodyrub + or massage, cam girls, porn performers, nude models, or phone sex operators, fetish and fantasy and yes cuddle girls.  

We know anyone can open up a business in their homes, but it is illegal and don't you think having tons of visitors may tip people off so very quickly it becomes a UNSAFE INCALL.  

I don't think any escort should have to explain why they won't throw their standards into the wind to accommodate a guy like you that doesn't feel she is WORTH IT.  Many of us rather stay LOW VOLUME PROVIDERS.  This is 1 reason that we get paid a fair rate for our time, as our clients trust that our incalls are safe, and drama free.

I wouldn't let a client come wash my car for 60 bucks...LOL

END OF MESSAGE

I did end up finding a really nice cuddle buddy gal, for the record. Cuddling rocks.
