Hello, Future Cuddle Buddy,

This is not a slick move in attempt to get sex.

In fact, my therapist suggested cuddle therapy as a generative/healing process for me. We believe having positive platonic experiences with physical intimacy would boost self-esteem and lessen anxiety. As a human in recovery (over 1 year) from drugs and alcohol I wasted years of life in discontentment and powerlessness. Suffice to say I'm doing a lot of restorative and inner work.

What do I bring to the table? I take care of myself. I cook well (maybe I will for you :). Some have called me handsome/cute. I am fit, emotionally intelligent, gentle and kind. Working on being more assertive. I give nice massages. I am very knowledgeable about yoga, somewhat knowledgeable in meditation. My space is neat and cozy. I'm 5'10". 160. African American. Shocker: I do not look my age. Haha.

I hope to find someone kind, compassionate, free-spirited and who communicates well. If you also take good care of your body that's a plus. I am 420 friendly but its totally optional. It'd be nice if you were doing your own inner work. It'd also be cool to find someone down to earth and aware of how power, privilege, racism and oppression work.

PARKING LOT ELEPHANTS IN THE ROOM -Let's talk about consent, boundaries and intentions beforehand. -We should find each other attractive or at minimum not turned off by each other. It matters. -Let’s grab a coffee, ice cream, go for a walk and discuss if this is a fit that makes sense. -I love podcasts, I like horror, romcoms, classic movies. I also enjoy conversation (not small talk)... all things we could share together

It would be sweet if you shared a photo in your initial message. I would do the same. I appreciate you making it this far. And I look forward to connecting :)

Be well, Me
