Being a professional cuddler means you have to be able to bring cuddle comfort to your client with ease and a natural touch. A cuddle good client is also supposed to make this as simple and easy as possible by listening to the cuddler and building a professional cuddle buddy connection so you can both quickly move on to a therapeutic cuddle therapy session. The quicker both cuddle buddies can get comfortable, the quicker the relaxation and therapy begins and that’s what it’s all about. We want everyone to get the most of out of their experience cuddling and that means getting rid of any awkwardness, shyness, and stress about a session as quickly as can be done by both new cuddle buddies. Once cuddle comfort and trust is established, there are many benefits in the short and long term with a new cuddle buddy.

Breaking The Ice
It is recommended that breaking the ice and getting to know each other a bit happens on our platform. Clients and professional cuddlers can both share some interests, what gives them cuddle comfort during a session, and what activities they like to do while cuddling especially in longer sessions such as 5 hours and especially overnight cuddle sessions. Detailed profiles can also help cuddle buddies learn more about each other and if there similar interests, compatibility, and interesting stories to connect on. The most important thing is to approach each cuddle buddy with a relaxed and easy going mindset so breaking the ice and moving forward with a booking is a simple and quick process.

Friendship and Touch
Many clients seeking professional cuddlers also have a hard time finding friendship, emotional understanding, and care from another human being. There’s loneliness, depression, traumatic events, loss of life, and heartbreak which can also cause very negative health affects. Bringing these out in a session can make cuddler and client understand each other better and open up a whole new array of conversation topics while cuddling or enjoying other activities such as dinner, video games, and board games. Pro cuddlers can also open up about their own personal issues if they’re comfortable doing so. We are all humans with a past and very often the past hurts so it’s always nice to talk about it with someone that’s willing to listen and there are very few times better to do this then when cuddling with someone and embracing cuddle therapy.

Meeting Before a Session
Many professional cuddlers like to meet a new cuddle buddy client for a quick coffee, lunch or dinner so they can both chat and get to know each other. Sharing a laugh and a few stories together is a very simple way to get any initial awkwardness out of the equation and get comfortable before a nice relaxing cuddle session. You can try peeking each other’s TV Show, movie, podcast, and music interests and see if there is something you’re both passionate about and watch or listen to it together while cuddling. It’s pretty easy to connect with someone when you’re both geeking out about the same interests and hobbies. Meeting before a snuggle session in a public place is also a great way to know you are dealing with a good cuddle buddy since safety is common sense for both parties.

Imperfect People
We are all imperfect people with many flaws so it’s best we try to understand each other and be curious about each other’s personalities and what makes us who we are today. Some people are quite antisocial, shy, awkward, fearful, or timid and don’t know how to relax around other people especially people they’ve only just met so it’s always a nice gesture to show genuine interest in what your snuggle buddy is saying even if they’re only saying a little bit and do your best to respond with enthusiasm and genuine positive thought. This is something many people are missing in their lives and having someone engage them with positivism and curiosity can actually make their entire week a little brighter and greatly increase their self esteem. Note, that doesn’t mean we should tolerate any rudeness or bad manners, point out their mistakes and move on because rudeness and bad manners are not okay in the cuddle therapy world.

Hobbies and Activities
There are many little things we can do while cuddling to bring us closer together especially in today’s tech advanced world. Of course you can watch a movie or listen to music but that’s the painfully obvious everyone always mentions. A few more unique ideas for snuggle buddies include playing card games, solving cross word puzzles, chess, checkers, board games, coloring, drawing, video games, learning something together, learning a new language from each other, back rubs, looking up conspiracy theories, getting takeout with uber eats or other food apps, reading scary stories, and sharing cheesy jokes and funny stories. Talk and get creative, it can be really fun to be a a little bit silly while cuddling and relaxing. Good memories are priceless so it’s in everyone’s best interest to have an amazing time during a cuddle therapy session.

Safety
Professional cuddlers and clients want to feel safe and that is why sharing IDs or passports, a linkedin, a phone call, a video call, or some sort of paper photo verification will help both feel at ease about knowing each other’s identity with more confidence. We make it easy to for both clients and pro cuddlers to both state what their comfort level is when booking a session so neither party is surprised by a request for verification. A video call is most ideal once a booking is placed as this can speed along the cuddle comfort process and makes it easy to start cuddling once you meet in person for the session. A video chat would also help make sure there are no changes to the planned date/time/location of the cuddle session. Remember, no one on this planet likes having plans canceled on them at the last minute.
