Cecelia The Cuddler: Inside the World of Professional Cuddling

In this episode we sit down with a professional, certified, cuddler named Cecelia. Cecelia is a student who pays her bills cuddling people. Yes, cuddling.

We have become an isolated society with the help of electronic devices, headphones, in-home entertainment options like Netflix and Hulu, and online gaming. Human touch has become harder for many of our population to experience. A recent study by The Guardian found that there is a growing population of individuals who have no human interactions outside of the workplace. For these folks, they do not talk, let alone touch, another person between the end of the work day Friday and Monday morning.

As a result, many individuals are deprived of any meaningful human touch. That’s were professional cuddling comes into play.

Cecelia informs and educates us on the history of professional cuddling, her training, and her clients. Safety is a major issue for many and having someone cuddle you without the pressure of sexual interactions can often help.

We also discuss how she deals with clients who may become aroused during sessions and cuddling clients with poor hygiene.

Cecelia is a Philly-lifer from Northeast Philly, near the Roosevelt Mall. She is very candid about her journey to professional cuddling, which started as an exotic dancer right out of high school.

This is a fascinating interview about a world most of us know nothing about or have never heard of.

We conducted this interview at The Post at 30th & Chestnut Street, which happens to be the same location as our two-part interview with John Bolaris.
