Cuddling, a simple action that can be done for free, has now become a profession. Yes, that is correct, you can get paid to give cuddles to strangers.
Professional Cuddle Mate Florence Letswalo, from Pro Cuddling SA, visited 5FM‘s studios to talk more about her profession. When asked if men are involved in the industry, Florence replied, “Yes, yes, absolutely. We do hire male cuddle mates.”
Florence also provided information about what cuddlers do when their client is aroused by the cuddling position. She said, “We carry on, as long as the client does not act on him being aroused and touching the Cuddle Mate sexually all of a sudden. The session will continue.”
Florence also made it crystal clear that the clients do not receive their cuddles naked.
