Cool concept; I could have used one back in college when I was Forever Alone and nearly lost my mind with loneliness.
Not for me, not for most people, but it takes all kinds, and I don't see anything actually wrong with it. Both parties get what they want, nobody gets hurt, and maybe it actually will make people nicer. Who the fuck knows. But in a world where you read about people cooking up their body parts for people, this seems quite innocuous. I get massages and acupuncture, is this really that different?
Dude, I would pay for a good head massage... in fact, I don't think there could be anything better than a good game on the tube and a long head massage. If I was Bill Gates, I would have someone on my staff who only gave me a head massage.
See, the real market is dudes who hook up. "Hi, I just finished with this girl I picked up at a bar 45 minutes ago. She wants to cuddle now. If I pay you $60, can you cuddle her (and maybe get her out of my house)?"
Two summers ago I was in Vietnam and spent 10 days in a little beach resort town. Anyway, there was a massage place open air on the beach at a brewery, and it only cost about $5 for 45 minutes. I would go every morning, get a fresh coconut water and get a great massage, especially the feet, damn that felt great. I would tip like a baller, leaving at least $5. And I did have one session where also got a head and face massage. After the massage, a beer from the brewery, lay out on a beach chair and read for a while. Then start my day. Man that was great!
