My Second Client

My second client was much younger than my first, but old enough that I wasn’t going to get in trouble.  He sent very authentic messages on the website and shared a picture on his profile.  I felt safe meeting him.  He shares my ideas of what cuddling should be, hanging out on a couch while watching TV or a movie.  He couldn’t host a session though because he lives with roommates and they make rules about guests.  Lucky for him, I live alone and get to set the rules on who comes and goes.   I let him I know I could host, but that the session would be limited to the couch.   He said that was all he expected.  Great! So I suggest meeting at the Starbucks near my house.  We sit at a table outside for a minute, and chat a bit.  He’s getting over a breakup, and that’s mostly why he wants cuddling so he gets touch while he’s healing.  I can empathize with that, as I know every time I’ve had bad breakups, I run to dance.  He offers to buy me a coffee, but I decline because I had a coffee at home that I hadn’t finished.  (Anyone who knows me would think, I must’ve been broken that day… what you refused coffee!!!)  So then we get in our cars, and he follows me to my home.  We go inside, take off our shoes, and get cozy on the couch.  I ask him if there was any music or shows he cared for.  He said he didn’t care.  I put on Bojack Horseman because that show is funny, and doesn’t require watching in sequence.  Over the hour we cuddle in about three different ways.  This was way more relaxing than the flipping that was happening with my first client.  At the end we stand up and hug, and I hope to work with him again.
