cavanami Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Always another idea... http://shine.yahoo.com/healthy-living/would-you-pay-to-cuddle-a-stranger--004132218.html Looking for a little extra affection? Meet Sam Hess, a 29-year-old cuddle professional who makes a living by selling snuggles to those in need. Hess is part of a new breed of business people who believe that touch, no matter who it comes from, is the key to a happy life. She hatched the idea after watching a YouTube experiment in which two men offered free or paid hugs to people on the street. “People paid for hugs more than they took the free ones, and I realized that there’s real value in affection,†Hess tells Yahoo Shine. “My friends and boyfriend were a little wary at first, but once they realized I was serious about it, they were supportive.†Hess’s Portland, Oregon based company, called Cuddle Up To Me, offers two basic packages: A 30-minute session for $35 and a 60-minute session for $60 (She charges a $1 per minute in overtime), during which Hess and her client might hold hands, cuddle up on the couch, or spoon to the tune of her "cuddle playlist," which includes classic music and hits by Phil Collins and Jack Johnson. There are also prepaid weekly sessions and a flat rate for overnight stays. However, before she does business, Hess conducts a free 45-minute meet-and-greet in a public place such as a coffee shop, to assess the intentions of potential clients. “I need to know where a person is coming from so I know what I’m walking into,†she explains. Hess makes it clear that her services are completely platonic. “I’m not sexually attracted to my clients and even if I were, I don’t allow myself to go there,†she explains. “I’m in a totally different head space during a session and I’m very specific about body parts that cannot be touched.†If a client pushes his or her boundaries, Hess issues a verbal warning or ends the session. Though she does business in her clients’ homes, she says she feels safe, thanks to her martial arts training. She also carries a Kuboton (a pocket-sized sharp stick), just in case. “No one has ever violated the rules because of my strict vetting process,†she insists. “My youngest client is 24-years-old and my oldest is in his mid-60s — I see single dads, widows, depressed people, even one woman.â€...
