There’s a great documentary about a host club in Osaka, and how a lot of the customers are women who are also in the industry. Despite knowing how everything works they’re also basically starved for real human connection so they pay for it anyway.
he should be looking for escorts then, they do non-sex things too, pay them to chat with the guys/gals, accompany them to functions or dinners.
I’m offering free hugs for all in need
I can’t afford that.
So close yet so far away.
Doesn’t anybody stay in one place anymore?
If you have to ask, you can’t afford it.
Becoming emotionally dependent on someone you pay for intimacy is an extremely precarious thing, not just for the client but also the seller.
Please do not give yourself or them the risk of being tempted by that.
Go to a community center instead, volunteer at an animal center, go to a soup kitchen, donate some clothes at a shelter.
All these places can give you a sense of belonging if you are seeking a genuine connection, don’t worry about being desperate, as long as you respect peoples boundaries it will get better with time.Tbf that’s not a hug, and that doesn’t solve the issue of wanting a hug.
Hugs are important because of what they mean - care, support, belonging.
Paying someone to do it won’t solve it either. You can’t replace the work and time of building up trusting and caring relationships with money.
As OP said - work in a food shelter, talk to people, invest your time in them - and eventually it’ll work out, but not as payment.
They’re also important because physical touch is a need in and of itself. No matter what, in the end, we are still animals, with animalistic needs. You can’t just think or will yourself out of them
Listening to sex workers, this is what the job can be for some of them at least.
And if you watch old French or Italian films, you’ll know sex work can be sub rosa juggling multiple generous boyfriends.
Can’t say I haven’t fantasized about doing something like this before.
same, and I’m married.

I love my wife. don’t think otherwise. our intimacy is just…nonexistent.
You will be amazed to know that is the case in many marriages.
not too amazed, I’ve witnessed it myself in many other couples that I know.
Lemmy responses to comics always make things light hearted and humorous.
“I don’t like it when people think about reality”
This one’s for free but you gotta pay it forward
Butters?
Yes, I believe I know what you are saying!
It changes the tone of the comic whether the background consists of damaged wall plaster or cum stains.
