16. Snuggling
Maybe youre the type who prefers to leave the petting to someone else and enjoy the benefits of touching, hugging, and cuddling yourself. In which case, youre in luck. Professional huggers are available for hire through professional services like "The Sunggle Buddies". You can enjoy a full hour of platonic conversation and spooning starting at £52/hour. This kind of touch therapy has been said to reduce clients stress levels and leave them far more relaxed. As more people learn the benefits of a good snuggle, more cost effective alternatives are also becoming available. In September 2014, the free Cuddlr app was launched, allowing users to find others nearby in need of a good snuggle at no cost.
