So it's not an escort service or anything like that. It's simply people who are willing to come over and lay with you and watch a movie, play with your hair, rub your back, whatever it is that you're needing. And believe it or not, some of these people book these services several times in a row

Like, I get the concept, but the concern part of me is, is that you don't know if this person is safe or not. So I'm curious about how their background checks work. Do they do a hygiene test? Do they test them for COVID? Like, it's just so much that can go into that. Like, don't get me wrong, I like to cuddle and stuff like that, too. And I get the longing for and the need for isolation

I connect with humans a different way through communication, through exchange of ideas. That's mainly how I communicate. But that need for touch is real. I feel safe and comfortable, like petting my dog. I do have. I like to pet my dog. You know, he enjoys it, too, as well. And I've always liked that. I've always. That's comforting to me

You find a need and you fill it, and there is certainly a need. Now the walking, I can do dinner. Dinner buddies, I could do that. In fact, I think I would be a good service provider for everything else but the cuddling and anything else weird, because the cuddling is weird. It's such an intimate act that I wouldn't be able to receive it. I just could not receive it, because cuddling, to me, denotes intimacy

Those are things that I want to know because, like, what if you volunteer to be a professional cuddler or whatever, and they pair you with, like, somebody that's, like, 80 years old and you've got to lay with them for however long they need the cuddling, and you've got to be affectionate or pseudo affectionate with this person that you're not physically attracted to

You know, I like that I miss having, you know, a boyfriend to provide that level of affection and intimacy. But at the same time, you know, I can't say that I'm so starved for it that I'm willing to allow a complete stranger to give it to me just so that I can feel some kind of way for a couple of hours. But, yes, animals definitely provide that for a lot of people

Intimacy is not just something you can coerce or contrive. You know, I don't think that's something you can just contrive and. And just recreate a pseudo version of intimacy. I would really need to have that bond with somebody before I would allow them into my personal space like that. We would have to have some type of bond, some type of level of trust that has been built up

But when I think about this whole concept, you know, and I think about things that people kind of want or situations that they may fall into, I kind of feel like a lot of people want someone who is going to listen to their concerns, their problems, maybe their secrets, and just listen, understand, sympathize, and maybe also offer some good advice. You know?
