What is a surrogate?
A member of a therapeutic team consisting of a therapist, client and surrogate partner. The surrogate acts as a substitute partner for those individuals in therapy without partners. The intent of the relationship is NOT to provide sexual pleasure; but, to build client skills & esteem through experiences in the areas of physical and emotional intimacy.
What is surrogate therapy?
It is the principle mode of treatment for a man who doesn't have a willing partner to join him in therapy. One needs a sex partner to resolve a sexual problem. Without surrogate partners, there is no effective alternative for single people without partners. Would it not be cruel to suggest single people remain dysfunctional until such time as they have a willing partner to go to therapy with them?
How does a surrogate program work?
Working under the supervision, and in cooperation with a Board Certified Clinical Sexologist, the surrogate and the client privately engage in one-to-one body-focused therapy. The process promotes the integration of mind and body with the emotions. Under the guidance of these women, men have been able to lose their virginity, become better lovers, acquire ejaculation control, sustain arousal, and finally, trust enough to experience joy and abandonment.
Will the surrogate be attractive?
Yes, but not so much that you feel intimidated. A bonus, they are also sincere, patient, and caring.
What are the backgrounds of the surrogate therapists?
Contrary to the portrayal in the media, sex surrogates are not prostitutes. They do not provide sexual services. Most prostitutes would not be good surrogates. Sex surrogates are professionally trained clinicians who act as substitute partners for people who are in certified sex therapy programs. A legitimate surrogate therapist will only work under the supervision of a certified clinical sexologist. Surrogates will have college degrees. Frequently, they are graduates students in the field of sexology.
