\n While physical touch is on hold, professional cuddlers are turning to screen snuggling as an alternative.<\/p>\n

For those who make a living offering clients nonsexual embraces, the coronavirus has proved a huge hurdle. Despite the industry seeming to be dependent on in-person interaction, some practitioners have found a way to offer their skills through a screen.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no substitution for human touch, but it definitely helps bridge the gap,\u201d actor and writer Randy Wade Kelley, 37, told the Guardian of a recent virtual cuddling session. After self-quarantining alone for over a month in New York City, Kelley was hungry for human connection and sought out a professional from Los Angeles-based Cuddle Sanctuary.<\/p>\n

The organization is not offering in-person sessions for the foreseeable future, but founder Jean Franzblau has found there are ways to lead online sessions that offer a balm to loneliness. \u201cI was resistant on a very deep level to offer something that I thought would be valueless or seem like snake oil,\u201d Franzblau told the Guardian of her initial thoughts. But she has since found that there is value to be had in virtual sessions if the client is open-minded. \u201cWe must meet each other halfway to make the magic.\u201d<\/p>\n

In her session with Kelley, Franzblau had him lie on his side with one arm stretched under his head and the other near his torso \u2014 simulating him holding himself.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no substitution for human touch, but it definitely helps bridge the gap,\u201d he said of his self-snuggling experience. \u201cI\u2019m so thankful I\u2019m able to cuddle myself.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madelon Guinazzo, co-founder of cuddle therapist training platform Cuddlist, has found she\u2019s able to re-create some of the intimacy of touch through increased computer screen eye contact.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t actually cuddle but it\u2019s some sort of connection,\u201d Guinazzo said. \u201cIt\u2019s like when you\u2019re used to having your favorite meal, let\u2019s say lasagna, and then somebody says here\u2019s a substitute lasagna. It\u2019s OK as long as you\u2019re expecting it not to taste like lasagna.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
