Professional cuddling

[emzyemzy]

I'm a single mum of two SEN children and I work full time and care for my DF who has various problems, my last relationship was over a year ago and was for 7yrs, however for lots of reasons affection was sporadic at best (that's the background)
Now to the current issue
I miss cuddles/hugs/warmth, I'm not in a position to have a relationship, I'm not interested in a sexual relationship, I just need a cuddle

Maybe that sounds a bit sad, I obviously hug my children and that's amazing and I wouldn't change it for the world, I don't know, I needed to write in down after spending half hour exploring professional cuddling services, but obviously in current times a no, and tbh I'm probably a bit cynical around paying for a hug etc

I don't know, if you read thankyou, please be kind

I second a weighted blanket! And (when we’re allowed) something like osteopathy, acupuncture, Indian head massage etc, if you’re into that kind of thing.

Everyone deserves a hug if they need one. What a sad world we’re living in if even this basic need for human comfort isn’t granted.

I've thought about getting one of these.

I got a massage when I felt I needed that kind of emotional touch (before this recent lockdown) and I found it really helpful. I do have a DH and DS who are pretty good huggers but my mum had died and I kind of needed to replace a hug from her in some weird way.

It needs to be a sort of holistic massage and not just a Swedish or spa type of thing. Reiki or Ayurvedic massage I found really helpful.

@onesiesarethenewblack right? Same - not into striking at all, it seems to attract some good people tho. My theory is it's an ego killer, not immediately accessable to big guys with no technique. With some exceptions, ha. But I think it's connected to breath and learning to stay calm when you're under someone and just wait for your chance to change the stakes. I say this like I know anything - I never got a belt stripe before I had to bow out but I loved it. I used to feel amazing all day the next day, there's something about physically battling someone else in a safe way, for sure.

Lol. No it's not!
Might want to try a Mumsnet admin username if you're trying to sound like that's what you are! 😂
