Shame & Stigma

Updated: May 11, 2020


***Disclaimer: The book used as a reference for this post is ONLY a reference. Cuddle therapy is not sex work, but some issues that revolve around it are similar to sex work (fear, safety, shame/stigma, anger, and envy).

I was so honored to meet Amber Rose for her women’s event and the slut walk!! I learned so much about feminism, but also was in an environment where women and LGBT can be more unified. I say this because in cuddle therapy, you might meet some trans clients/cuddle therapists or have someone that is attracted to the same sex, but wants to cuddle with the opposite sex. You never know in this industry. Make sure your profile states what you want and don’t want.


Love you Amber!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Slut Walk 2017 with my podcast & stripper friend. Much love! ❤️👌💯


We already covered fear from a previous post, which ties into safety regarding the cuddle therapy industry, but let’s go in to shame & stigma. I literally had a girl I knew from church and junior high walk up to my mother and say I was a prostitute in Las Vegas. I laughed so hard because if she only knew cuddle therapy is fffaaarrrr from it! 😂😂😂


So, this topic of shame and stigma will tie somewhat into envy, but let’s break things down some more (I will get on envy in another post). So, if you want a client, friends, or family to understand what it is exactly that a cuddle therapist does is through knowledge. Knowledge is definitely power in this field. You and the client need to know and understand your role before any session or future ones. If not, you can possible go against your morals and could get black balled down the line.

For clients new to cuddle therapy, you can send them videos or resources on the services before they decide to do a session. If they have done it before, you can give them a disclaimer (verbally or written) that you are NOT a sex worker (no sexual acts, including hand or blow jobs). Ain’t got time for shenanigans. If the client wants that, they can go somewhere else.


When I came out to my parents about it, I showed them YouTube videos about the industry and what I do. They were a lot more comfortable after that.

Also, having a descriptive profile on your cuddle platform is helpful. You are setting boundaries and standards before they even contact you for services.

Other areas regarding shame & stigma are ageism. People feel like once you get older, your life is over. There are plenty of cuddle therapists over the age of 40 & 50. I would say is you are older than you look (for example...ME!), use it to your advantage. Play on your looks and outfits, which makes the client’s experience 10x better. If they are much older than you, the goal is to make them feel younger and like a god or king. Hope this is helpful and safe cuddling! And if people keep calling you a slut and whore after all of this, wear it proudly because “Happiness Over Everything (H.O.E.)” is EVERYTHING!
