Iraq War survivor Hires Someone to Cuddle with

Miss Sally O'Malley interviews her client Ren

    What made you choose me as a provider?

    I chose you as a provider because at the time I was going through a very stressful circumstance with my father passing away, and me needing someone to comfort me and get emotional support from it. What made me choose you personally was the moment after I lost a close friendship with a girl at work that was my support system. I was primarily looking for an older nurturing woman for cuddles and hugs. 


    Tell me about our first experience together? 

    It was very intense emotionally because this was exactly what I was looking for, which was a comforting safe space to let out my emotions and stress, and that’s exactly what I felt during our first session. This was the first cuddle I experienced in 14 years. During the first 30 minutes, it was very emotionally intense and got too sexual too soon for me, however I did thoroughly enjoy it as time went on. 


    Was this your first time ever seeing a provider? 

    Yes it was, that’s why it was so emotionally intense because I felt a mental relief as we cuddled. 


    Tell me more about yourself and background? 

    I'm a 24 year old male college student, I grew up in Baghdad, Iraq, during the time of the US war in 2003. After Saddam Hussein's regime ended, the country entered into chaos with no government in place to set law and order. During this time, many small insurgence religious groups popped up during this power vacuum and took over cities and towns where police presence was collapsing. In my town in Baghdad, we received a letter from a terrorist group to leave our home or everyone in the family would be murdered viciously in front of their parents. My parents took the threat very seriously and they sent me and two brothers to my grandma’s house, while they started packing. At the time I had no idea that was the last time I would see my home. Then in 2008 me and 2 siblings moved to Syria, Damascus to escape the war in Iraq. My father stayed in Iraq at the time to contact my older sister who was living in the US, Massachusetts, to get us to America safely. My mother came with us to Syria , however she was able to move to the US and my father as well, while me and 2 brothers stayed until we got approved to travel to the US as immigrants. 


    Tell me about your sexual blueprint (sex history)? 

    During my 2 year stay in Syria, I was living without my parents, so I was missing my mom as much as one would at 9 years old. There was an older girl around 19 years old in my apartment complex that I started to hang out with, and it turned into roleplay games where it eventually turned into breastfeeding sessions. She had massive breasts for her age now that I think about it. I enjoyed the breastfeeding sessions so much that I started to orgasm without even knowing what was going on. She became a motherly figure for me as time went on where she would babysit me while my 2 older brothers who were in their mid twenties went out of the house. There was a moment where I was feeling very sad and crying because I was alone at home. She came into my room to comfort me and then breastfeed me to calm me down and it weirdly worked out. This kind of set the blueprint where I fantasized about a motherly figure who is like a life and sexual mentor. 


    Now as an adult living in the US, what is your aspiration in your sexual/romantic life? 


    Well, someday I would like a real relationship with a romantic partner like everyone would, but for now in the meantime I use professional platonic cuddles and providers to give me comfort and touch therapy to satisfy my needs. Sometimes it feels so much better than a traditional therapy session, having someone touch you and comfort you nearby while you talk about your issues or whatever is going on feels amazing. 


    Is there any chance hiring cuddles and providers prevent you from going out and getting yourself an authentic relationship? 


    That’s something that is in the back of my mind, however I have been very strict on who I see and limit myself to seeing someone when absolutely needed. I know this is a service and not a replacement for relationships. For example, last month I only saw 1 professional platonic cuddler and that’s on purpose. I am very strict on saving myself for my wife, meaning no premarital sex. 


Thank you for sharing your story with me. I think your story helps me and others try to understand a complex world. Global conflict, culture and human needs intertwine to create a unique life experience. This is why I enjoy helping people like you.. My baby.
