Can I be a Cuddle Slut???
Wait, did you want serious answers to your serious question???
a little bit of both, actually. I guess I'm kind of like a manager of a spa, only instead of a massage you're getting a cuddle. And the happy ending still costs extra!

but what if someone comes in and wants to 'rent' someone for like.. ten hours? Or eight hours if they're on eight hour shifts..

lol...I think I'm just older and tired of all that shit. So maybe just have your target client base be younger females. Cause when I was about 20, yes, I did want that. But still...don't think I would have paid for it. Girls that want someone to cuddle, want a relationship.
i would be so happy with a cuddle slut [img]smile.gif[/img] nope. no relationship necessary- but i'm a huggy person anyways. i love giving and getting hugs from everyone. my mom looked at me the other day and went "did i not hug you enough as a child?" i'm just weird i guess
Don't get me wrong..I like hugs. I hug EVERYONE. But to pay someone to cuddle? Na. But like Shark said...I'm a dude..lol...so maybe I'm not the best person to ask..lol.
Cuddle sluts? I've heard 'em all now. Can't see how there would be a "happy ending" to that though... At least when giving a massage you have your hands all over someone's naked body, so in the right setting (a massage parlor, not a massage clinic) there has been some foreplay. But cuddling is what you do _after_ sex, so I think you're putting the cart before the horse. If you want your clients to get off, do it right first and cuddle afterwards.
Sadly though, there aren't many men who would want that service from a woman. They'd just want to get the good stuff and get out of the room as soon as possible. That's why men pay for sex... specifically so they don't have to cuddle afterwards and not have to apologize for it.
Women will never go for it. You don't think the multi-billion dollar sex trade in this country is driven by women do you? Only in movies, and if there are some who would hire a male escort, they wouldn't exactly be hot, otherwise they wouldn't need to hire it.

If you are renting out girls, you are renting out girls for sex, cause I can guarantee you, if a guy is paying for a "cuddle", he is expecting much more than that. You therefore, will be a pimp.
As far as renting out guys...I just don't see a market for it. I'm just trying to be honest with you. When you say you hear a lot of girls bitching about wanting to be cuddled..do they just mean on a regular basis? They want that from their boyfriend, not from someone they need to pay. When I was single, I didn't walk around saying, "Gee, I really wish someone would just cuddle with me." And along the lines of what JP said, unless you are cuddling naked with your hands moving, not sure about a happy ending. And women are different than men, most women like an emotional attachment...they like to know a guy first. They would be a tough market.

Or after a bad date. Think about it: women generally get a night out for free (trust me, I've blown enough money), so depending on the going rate, they'd come out even for the night.
Or after a break-up. Show me a woman doesn't look for some comfort contact right after a break-up, and I'll show you a bridge I have for sale.
Or after a family/friend fight.
I dunno, Chris, market this thing right, keep the rates low enough (maybe startup or package specials, no pun intended), and it might work. Or maybe I'm just that desperate for some potentially better income [img]smile.gif[/img]

Ben, I think you are right that women look for those things. But I think they look for them in friends or in someone they hope can take the place of the person they just had a bad date with or just broke up with...not someone they have to pay. Most women are not looking for a person to cuddle with for an hour...they want more than that...they want an emotional attachment. I'm not saying that no woman would want what Shark is offering, I just don't think the majority of women want it.
Shark, if you would like, I can ask about this on my forum. Since it's mainly females, I'd be interested to see the responses.

Is that so??? How disappointing... [/quote]Hee hee... Okay, in the context I was talking about cuddling in relation to sex. I do like cuddling on the couch and watching TV, or cuddling before falling asleep or right after hitting the snooze bar, all without any expectation of sex.
But if I were to rent out a hot chick I'm not looking for a cuddle. As for women, I'm just telling you that they they will not pay for sex.

Didn't you say your mom worried that she didn't hug you enough as a child? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Why don't you use my picture to see if you can stir up some interest on your forum.
