Who knew bringing men into your home for a nap could earn you more money than a college graduate?
Meet Jackie Samuel, a professional cuddler, who brings men to her home for a nap at the rate of $60 per hour, and make as much as $260 a day.
Her clientele range from business executives, sportsmen, pensioners, and even, war veterans.
The 29-year old single mother said she turned to the uncommon business to help pay for her college and care for her son.
However, her business ‘The Snuggery’ has not gone unnoticed and her college has threatened to expel her – while others have called her a prostitute.
She said: ‘I think I was born knowing how to snuggle. Snuggling is healthy, spiritual and fun.
‘I think clients come to me for all different kinds of reasons. Some of my older clients, their wives have passed away, and they just need someone to be with, like someone to experience touch with.
‘Some of the younger clients are between relationships, some are in problematic relationships, and some people are just really curious and they come to just find out what it’s going to be like.’
Jackie advertises her services online and charges $60 an hour.
The cuddling can take place anywhere around her cottage in Rochester, New York, but most clients opt to use her large double bed.
They are banned from touching parts of her body covered by underwear, which she wears under pyjamas.
The business has done so well she has even hired another snuggling professional, Colleen.
Her apprentice has yet to take on a client by herself but has joined Jackie on two occasions in what they have termed a ‘double cuddle’.
Despite her strict rules on sexual activity, Jackie has received a barrage of emails and phone calls slamming her as a prostitute.
One of her repeat customers, who would only give his name as Tim, disagrees with her critics.
He said Jackie’s cuddles had helped him following a bad break-up and described the sessions as ‘meditative’.
He even said he would continue to see her while in a relationship.
‘There’s no cheating element, it’s not immoral,’ he said.
