Trevor – who refers to himself as Treasure – said he’s seen a boom in business for his cuddle therapy.
Trevor told The Mirror: “I built a business based on my passions for building human connections.
“Many people struggle to make those and that’s where I step in. It’s more than just cuddling – it’s giving people the things they need, whatever that might be.
“The parties have been great, and I think it’s a really great way to provide value to lots of people at once. I want it to have a really big impact on the world.
“I’ve done four parties so far and each one has been unique and special in its own way.
“We have a very mixed group – some people are single and unfamiliar of touch but want to develop comfort.”
Trevor offers an array of services, ranging from cuddle parties to connection coaching.
He also offers cuddle therapy, which is a one-on-one cuddle session.
Trevor said: “I’m challenging the unspoken rules of society and think by challenging the rules we can reach something better for ourselves.”
One attendee of Trevor’s sessions said it made him feel more honest with his feelings.
He said: “Stress can be hard to deal with without the support of another human being – so I wanted to try something a bit more intimate.
“It was personal issues, family issues and stress from study. Having someone to listen to you is nice.
“It’s hard to be open about my problems unless I have that trust with a person but cuddle therapy really helped to build that trust and made me feel more comfortable to talk about my issues.”
Another woman told how she charges £190 per hour to cuddle clients craving human touch.
With many of her clients having suffered trauma or abuse, Shoup cuddles, spoons and comforts her customers in platonic displays of affection to help combat symptoms of depression, loneliness and anxiety.
“Cuddle therapists are professionals that give access to platonic touch through boundaries of consent education for the purposes of comfort, validation, and alleviating loneliness,” Shoup, the Director of Development at Cuddlist, explained to The US Sun.
“We give access to platonic touch, but that doesn’t mean it’s mandated or expected. It’s just the access to it.
“I have lots of clients who are working through various stages of grief or trauma and actually touching isn’t something that we can do for quite a while until we work together for a long time,” she added.
According to Shoup, hugs increase the production of the love hormone oxytocin, which is known to help keep feelings of loneliness at bay.

I’m a Michelin-star chef & you’ve been cooking your pasta all wrong… common myth will cost you a fortune
A MICHELIN-star chef has revealed how Brits have been cooking their pasta all wrong.
Paul Foster often posts culinary advice on popular social media site TikTok and has said that one common myth will cost you a fortune.
Paul, who owns his own Michelin-star restaurant ‘Salt’ in Stratford-upon-Avon, definitely knows his way around a kitchen.
And the experienced cook said one “old wives tale” needs to be dispelled.
The top chef reminded anyone cooking that “oil in pasta water is a waste”.
Paul said: “It does not stop it sticking, that’s why so many people do it.
“People say yeah drop a bit of oil in, makes it not stick together – rubbish.
“Remember science at school? Water and oil doesn’t mix.”
He said the oil will stay on top of the water and have no effect on cooking the pasta.
Paul urged anyone watching who didn’t know this that the common myth “will do nothing” for your cooking.
“People are using good quality stuff like extra virgin olive oil.
“Just let it cook nicely, give it some respect and use lots of water,” he added.
The experienced chef is a popular figure on TikTok, often helping budding chefs to learn handy tips and tricks.
He often posts hacks and recipes which are easily cooked up from home for those with less experience in the kitchen.
Paul’s videos have racked up 1.5 million likes and he has amassed over 120,000 followers.
As always, TikTokers were quick to take to the comment section to weigh in with their opinion.
Some were stunned at Paul’s revelation and admitted they did not know the myth wasn’t true.
One user commented: “I thought oil stops the pasta sticking together, if you want to keep some for the next day.”
Another TikToker said: “Never used oil cooking pasta. Use straight away when cooked and it’s fine.”
Top chef Paul, from Coventry, crowdfunded his Michelin Star restaurant on Kickstarter.
It comes after the expert cook told viewers that they had been poaching their eggs “all wrong”.
He said that many budding cooks didn’t know that the right way shuns a key ingredient.
A Destiny 2 bow is dealing huge damage – if you’ve got high FPS
A Destiny 2 bow does more damage at higher frame rates, according to the YouTube account Cheese Forever and confirmed by Destiny Bulletin, which claims to have tested the bow and found it does an extra tick of damage at higher hertz per second in the FPS game. Leviathan’s Breath, a heavy Exotic Void bow available at the Monument to Lost Lights and originally introduced as part of the game’s Shadowkeep expansion, is quickly becoming a meta weapon due to changes in the game’s overall sandbox.
