A married woman has gone viral after revealing she pays a small fortune to get a professional cuddler to give her hugs when she needs affection.
New York-based Saskia Larsen is the type of person who really – like really, really – needs affection in the form of physical touching.
According to the actress, who is married, she spends $80 per hour to meet and cuddle with professional cuddlers whom she meets on a site known as Cuddlist.
While some people may find it bizarre that a married lady is paying strangers to spoon with her, Larsen insists she is “99% sure” her husband doesn’t mind it and isn’t jealous at all.
“Many people would think that it’s odd that I access cuddling services because I’m married,” the aspiring actress insisted in a video shared by Love Don’t Judge on Instagram.
“But screw it, I don’t really care what anybody else thinks. I love affection and I love how it makes my body feel.”
As Larsen claimed, cuddling makes her feel good because it helps her ease the tension and relax her body when she’s out of town and away from her husband while pursuing her acting career.
While she may be 99 percent sure her husband is fine with her cuddling with other men, Larsen admitted her partner is protective of her and wants her to be safe.
“Saskia and I have a monogamous relationship, but I don’t feel that cuddling violates the integrity of that,” Larsen’s husband, Arthur, added.
“Saskia likes a lot of contact and she’s very comfortable around other people and she’s very affectionate. And when we’re together, we cuddle all the time, so I can understand why she would need that human contact, human touch.”
As it appears, Saskia is not the only person who’s willing to dish out a small fortune in exchange for cuddles.
According to a professional cuddler who spoke out about the growing business, he gets all types of clients, including men and women, who pay him for embracing them in his arms.
As Cuddlist staff revealed, they already have around 40 registered cuddlers, whereas they get some 200 requests for a cuddling session per week. According to their website, such sessions are purely therapeutic and non-sexual.
