This 'Professional Cuddler' Charges $100 Per Hour. Here's What the Job Involves

With the onset of the pandemic, people are left touch starved in this new socially distant world. Hence, professional cuddling services have become popular where people can buy or sell touch for therapeutic reasons as people are longing to be hugged or cuddled by their loved ones. One such professional cuddler named Keeley Shoup, currently based in Chicago, US, talked to LADbible about the trade, explaining how her work helps people suffering from trauma and abuse for the last seven years. There are certain rules she follows to protect her from possible danger but Keeley admits that she loves when her clients trust her enough to make strange requests that would be considered unconventional in society. She admits that she has rarely encountered people who want something sexual and despite the bad experiences, she loves her works and clients.
