The Professional Cuddler

Travis Sigley is a “perpetually shirtless San Franciscan.” He also is a “professional cuddler,” meaning people who need cuddle therapy pay him for cuddle sessions ($60 an hour for non-sexual cuddling). Narratively talked to Sigley about how he got his cuddle business up and running (he was a former IT professional who moved to S.F. and worked at a strip club, and patrons would pull him into a back room and pay him to just cuddle and talk, so he found his client base pretty quickly).
