- Professional Cuddler Kan demonstrates how he goes about his cuddle sessions and why he feels that he was meant to do cuddle as a profession. If you want to find out more go to www.cuddlist.com
Kan: My name is Kan, and I do professional cuddling in New York City. Honestly, I don't even love the word cuddling. If I was going to name the therapy, I would call it alternative touch. It's the kind of touch like everybody loves when at the salon they shampoo your hair. It's attention paid, I feel.
Speaker 2: Hey! Oh my god.
Kan: to make my apartment somewhat of a health oasis in dirty Chinatown, I have brought in a hospital-grade nanoparticle air purifier. It even gets the chemtrails out. And all these plants are living, real plants, so bringing in fresh oxygen. I have a humidifier, essential oil diffuser. The water that I offer guests and that I drink myself has been multistage purified and sometimes also distilled.
What are you feeling like? You want me to rub you? You want to spoon? You want to hug?
Speaker 2: I want to do everything. Come here. Oh.
Kan: Sometimes with clients, we'll talk about the elephant in the room, which is why are they coming to hire a professional cuddlist? What is their experience with relationships, with intimacy? You know, their mom never hugged them, their wife is very cold to them. Some, a couple of them, have been people who, I got the sense that they were on maybe the autism-Asperger's spectrum, where they just have never been able to engage in a natural intimacy with friends. They don't even, you know, high-five their friends. It's just been a very isolated, physically isolated, experience.
Speaker 2: What is that? Why?
Kan: Is it tender? Like it's ... I consider so many people my best friends, but I'm so many different people's singly, only best friend, because I think that is ... That's why I think I'm good at this.
Speaker 2: You have best friend written all over you.
Kan: I just have this ability to make someone feel like they're my whole focus.
Speaker 2: Right. I mean, I call you my best friend. Like, oh who's that? That's my best friend. Even though we rarely spend time together and we just met beginning of August. That's my best friend. It's real. It's real.
Kan: Attention is magic in this universe, and it has the power to shape reality, it truly does, so sending positive, loving, affectionate attention at someone is going to have supernatural benefits. I mean, it just does. It just works.
Speaker 2: I feel like I matter. That might have been a little too deep, but that's how I feel. That's how I feel. I think cuddling can do that, make you feel like you're a human being, especially when you feel invisible to the world.
Kan: I just have always been someone who likes touch, so when it became an option of this being something that's like a new, alternative therapy, it just made sense.
Too be honest, this could actually save a life. For example a person who’s really depressed, sessions like this could actually help him/her get out of depression.
"I feel like i matter" and she has her eyes closed the whole session their cuddling, as if she was dreaming. what a sweet angel
The fact that it doesn't relate to being sexual whatsoever just feels really sweet and it makes you feel secure. I actually would do this because I feel like if I ever live alone, I would feel very lonely and insecure and get heaps of anxiety. It's the fact that you can rely on someone that makes the therapudic experience that someone can have, so warm and welcoming. This is what can bring people together in a non weird way and I think its just super cute that this is even a thing
Tbh I hired someone to cuddle yes I suffer from depression and I wanted to hire a girl just so I can feel more open and comfortable but there was none available so I hired a guy we both straight at first in said wait is a little weird but I need someone to hug so he came in, he was so professional and didn’t even bring the fact that we both were straight he just said I’m here bro you’re not alone let’s create a bromance. I felt good right away so we cuddled and talked for 2 hrs and tbh I felt so good so comfortable my depression attack went away. I just couldn’t stop hugging him and thanking him. Now I’ve hired him 3 times and he confessed he has never cuddle with guys before not even his homies and that he feels good too with himself. I told him I thought you were gonna think I was gay or something and he said no bro never that we’re homies now and yeah we text we talk and he’s just becoming my brother
So whoever created this thank you so much
Awww that’s really sweet
gay.
sus
gaYy
Thank you for taking care of yourself and for asking for what you want. We are so glad that you were able to find comfort! 💜
This is so wholesome and amazing. Such an awesome idea to bring positivity into somebody's life.
I don't hate the idea, but I'm just kinda shocked that these services are needed in this world at all. We as a society are really deprived of touch :/
Unfortunately Kaela, more often than one might think. Particularly now with isolation, quarantine and fear created by the pandemic.
Some of us are. 🙂
Definitely. I am actually a professional cuddler and people want this a lot. It’s unreal but I enjoy it.
@@daisyatcuddlist8967 People actually cuddled less due to the pandemic, but it’s picking up more.
@@tijeraslack3 Yes. Absolutely. I was stating that "these services" are needed. We are seeing an uptick in requests, and I am happy to hear you are too! Be safe and well! :)
i watched this video over and over again n cried my eyes out. the world is a lonely place for so many of us.... hugs from strangers needed? woah....
Absolutely beautiful! The world needs more of this type of therapy.
My mother disowned me and my father doesn’t talk to me much, ever since I came out. My friends are busy a lot of the time so I never see them.. I’m alone. So something like this would be really good for me
How are u feeling now? Hopefully you got better by time.
I was 13 when I came out, I’m now 20. I learnt to love myself since my family didn’t and I’m happier
I know it's hard. Hope you overcome sadness. Try to bond with people who actually care about your happiness, that's even harder to do. However, when you actually appreciate yourself and know your worth people will understand too.
i will give you a hug❤️
@@iWannaYanna I will accept your virtual hug and hug you back :)
I want to help people like that again. Years ago I met a woman that was heartbroken by a fiancee, she just wanted to be held or not sleep alone some nights. We had that kind of relationship for years that ended up being the deepest I've ever connected to someone.
This is amazing a beautiful. I love how joyful this woman is and clearly living a more healthy life becuase of receiving this help, and how thoroughly Kan understands his clients and service he provides.
This makes Me wanna train to become a cuddler
Interestingly, this guy just profiled most of the people who use that service. Most of their clientel are people who for whatever reason have been unsuccessful with relationships.
Im crying. this is so touching.
There I wanted to be! That's my best tool is my platonic, non-sexual cuddles touch. The goal of sex often causes tension for folks who need explorative touch and the right pressures in low stress environments. Human touch has a range of qualities. How nice! Congrats!
Clicked on this back in the day not knowing it would’ve come in handy now with the COVID-19 pandemic raging 😢
this video has been viewed by over 30 million on Elite Daily
Really? Over 30 million views? Man is that telling or what? The whole world must be touch- deprived.
obviously your viewers/followers are robots
I have been doing 1.5y and its been an amazing experience.
"I feel like I matter ...." same girl same
And I have done things that were so uncomfertable for me just to have some cuddles .. because professional cuddling like this is not available in my country. Even hookups and dating is super hard here. So yeah, I wish we have these services.
Well... I'm on my way to New York City
I don’t think I could do this and not get attached, I’d wanna be best friends with the cuddlist😅
I like him lol job goals
Wow I didn't even know this is a thing. I am SO not opposed to trying this. I feel so touch deprived but at the same time I don't wanna hang on my friends all that the time that would be weird
This can be truly healing work. I get it. Cuddle on!
Damn, that’s deep. 💜
Who came here because of jack?
Me
i laughed my ass off when i read the title but this makes perfect sense. you do get to share your problems more easily if you feel cared for.
Is it wrong that I would totally do this
Not at all, everyone has a need for connection and contact, even if they can't admit it to themself.
No joejoe, it’s not wrong. We as human beings long for touch, and to be held. I think it’s a beautiful thing to cuddle!
What a blessing!
Aw, I love this 🥰
The best youtube video
when in NYC, plan a session with Kan: cuddlist.com/kan/
i love the video
I might go to NY just so he can cuddle me!
I love this idea. There should be more press about this
very nice video 💛 🧡
I would hire you when I come to NYC! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m also a professional cuddler! It’s an amazing career! It pays well and you meet a lot of amazing people. I use a site to cuddle but have considered starting my own business doing it.
Can u please tell me all about it, I want to do this
That's awesome job , I would love to be a cuddler.
😁 man what can i say and ive no clue how i stumbled across this but my natural reaction and instinct tells me i need to be this man's personal bodyguard while he is on the job lmao 😄💪never know something might happen and I might have to take over for him lol we all gotta make a living somehow 🙏😁😄
I need this
I want to be a professional cuddliest ...will u help me..I'm from India
Love him
Who is your typical client?
Beautiful
He just gave me a career
What's the differences between this and massage service?
Looks beautiful and so relaxing that is highly needed. But unfortunately once a person is out of it, they will long for it more and more. This is not a long term solution, only a short term and short lived. Only a deep love can solve problems. This might increase the problems in the long run as you cannot get this again and again.
Touch is sufficient to release... Tension.. 😄 😄 😄 😄
But how can you do massage therapy if you didn’t get a license? Or did you?
Do clients cheat on their main cuddler with another cuddler sometimes.
How do I become a professional cuddlist in South Africa?
Where do you have the sessions? Home or an office? Im a pro cuddlist since Nov 2020 and can’t find a place to host the sessions. Any advice as to what location would be best? I’ve emailed chiropractors, massage therapists, people renting out 1 room. I thought about renting out an office with several rooms then renting out the other rooms. I’ve checked Airbnb. No one returns my my call. I could help so many more if I had a permanent location. Any recommendations or advice is welcome. Thank you
Rent a professional small office room like a massage therapist-network in those spaces.
SO FAKE. people do NOT hug strangers.
Couldn’t the element of paying for such a thing lead in the opposite direction for somebody trying to overcome depression because of lack of genuine affection ??? As it is conditional ultimately ... :(
I'm making 10hr working with detox patients helping them be positive and giving them hope and he chills for 80 an hour I don't get life lol

He is a dream daddy
Is this a safe career being with strangers
Yes! Certain companies require the employee to text them every hour or half hour the location/end time, if they don't return at the expected time the police will be called to the location.
SO FAKE. people do NOT hug strangers
It's a lot of lonely women out there, I have had women that work with me ask me for a hug, and they say I needed that.
My Scorpio ex was a professional cuddler by nature that's why i couldn't forget him after 9 years of breakup ( he's the one dumped me for another woman so...)
I like that message of this idea, but I'm curious: what Will happened, if He Will Fall in love to his client? 🤔
i think that's where the professional training comes in
@@shapowlow what training? Lol anybody can be a cuddler even the homeless guy from the gas station.
I mean you guys . Isn't this the best and the most desirable job .ok let's not call it a work . it's like providing warm love while getting some comfort . I am ready to be a cuddler . I love cuddling .
This proves that you can make money all types of ways!
Thats hell lota money 😱😱😱 thats my 5 days of salary after working 9 hrs per day 😱😱 and she is making that money in just 1 hr of CUDDLING PEOPLE 😱
i want this job 😍😍😍
🙂
This is such an important and valuable service. I am a certified cuddlist also and I am based in Perth Australia.If you would like to book a session or find out more please go to cuddlist.com/job warm hugs Jo xx
SO FAKE. people do NOT hug strangers
خلوكم من هاذ لعطاية makes sens?
1:14 Destilled water is dangerous to drink.
Loser Why
I think it is not full destilled only partially
All the nutrients are taken out.
The girl in the video seems so cool like damn run me her @
Fuck me... $80 an hour?
I would have a hard time not trying to kiss him lol buti think it would be fun
Way to raise the cuddlist bar... NOT! Hugging is enough! They can schedule a masseuse if they want a massage
Say what you want buddy, but this is nothing like getting your hair washed at the salon lol
I'm not saying it's wrong, but they are nothing alike
I want to mention that if a woman is married she supposed to have intimacy with her husband only, NOT with you or NOT with anyone else other than her husband, Period, Point blank....
hmm... although it's claimed to be platonic, I kinda doubt he would take any male clients.
I wonder if they let you cry on them 🤣 or is that crossing the agreement
Hello muh-Kel! Crying is very much welcomed if that is the support that is needed. Happy New Year :)
Are you gonna try it?
They should all have a M3 system. This is amazing you never know who you can save. Hugs literally stops my panic attacks.
This is dangerous. What I you get attached kr attracted to them
Definitely this job is for joblesses who fail to find a job
pffffff,,, that's nasty! What if they musty what you going to do.
Acknowledge that it's a human bodily function and don't make a big deal of it. Everyone farts.
Lmfao you so ignorant 😂
@@firstnamelastname4427 Yep it's not for everybody if he doesn't like it that's fine others will enjoy it.
lolz get a partner
Get some sensitivity to other humans. Not everyone has your experience in life.
@@runly1 thank you
we're not as good looking as you tho
@@runly1 U're right. I mean, it wasn't easy for me to get a Loved one, it isn't easy at all for many people, including me, but IDK, those paid cuddles are still something that creeps me out, but I don't meant to be mean or anything like that, if that is something people like, who am I to judge...
@@shapowlow was that an honest complement or u're just mocking me? Hahaha
I wish they didn't need to say he uses a Thai massage mat. Why didn't they just call it a mat? Oh no he didn't.... now he is incorporating Thai massage into the session?? That isn't helpful for people who are actual massage therapists in the Thai style of bodywork, who don't want people to see their therapy session as cuddling. It is cultural appropriation and problem making for other professionals.
Wow $80 per hour!
