Wanna cuddle? It'll cost  you $60 an hour at this cuddle studio

Yes, there is a cuddling shop in the States. What will they come up with next?

And it's had 10,000 bookings for 15-minute sessions, at a dollar a minute, in its first week.

This is Samantha Hess, a professional cuddler from Portland, Oregon, who opened the first cuddle studio, Cuddle Up To Me, on November 15.

She says professional cuddling is "platonic touching" and is customized according to a person's comfort level, which could mean not touching at all. "We’ll just sit and read together," she says.

Hess said: "We’re not adult-oriented in any way. We just make people feel loved and accepted for who they are."

Also, the sessions are monitored by security and they have a safety protocal in case of any troublesome snugglers.

They have four themed rooms - a forest room, beach room, a zen room and a universe room.
