This Woman Opened Up A Professional “Cuddling Shop” And Got 10,000 Customers Her First Week

Cuddling is a pretty standard human thing. Most of us love it and many of us, feeling broken and beaten down in our day to day lives, thrive on it. That could be why Samantha Hess, from Portland, Oregon, has had so much success as a “professional cuddler.” In her shop, customers can pay $60 per hour to get what Samantha calls “the level of human contact that we want or need in order to be our optimal selves.”

The shop is called Cuddle Up To Me and it’s the first of its kind. And the results are pretty shocking.

You may think: “Who would pay 60$ per hour for a hug?!” It seems that many would! Hess’s business has already become extremely popular.

“This business has taken off,” Hess told Fox 12. “I’ve gotten as many as 10,000 emails in a week.”
