Rachel is a professional cuddler who identifies as asexual. Rachel teaches consent and agency in her cuddling sessions but there are also real therapeutic benefits to cuddling. Rachel’s predominantly cis-male clients benefit from her sessions, but she knows that her practice isn’t reaching her full potential. So she goes on the search to find a queer to cuddle.
