For this episode, I chose to research what the cuddle industry is like in Oceania.
The first half of this long episode is about two Polynesian countries. The second half is my boyfriend and I discussing the accessibility and societal reasons as to why cuddle therapy is not prominent in the Pacific.
My boyfriend is Filipino and Chamorro. When I told him I was making an episode about the cuddle industry in Oceania, he said I would not find anything online. And sadly, he was 90% right. I found information on professional cuddling mostly in Hawaii and Aoteoroa/New Zealand.
I found some profiles of New Zealand cuddler providers. Unfortunately, there are no chapters of Cuddle Party in New Zealand.
I discuss the cuddle agency, Aloha Cuddle Company, and a Cuddle Party chapter in Honolulu.

There is one outtake from this episode available on patreon. I had a sixth reason for my Societal Theories list. It's goofy so listen if you dare.
