“Who can benefit? You actually can’t access a partner surrogate without already having a licensed therapist, according to Shattuck. So generally, he says, “someone who begins working with a partner surrogate has already been in sex therapy for a few months or few years and still has a lot of work to do around feeling comfortable with sex, intimacy, dating, and their body.” The problems that may motivate a client to suggest they incorporate a partner surrogate into their healing process — or for a sex therapist to suggest the same to a client — range from generalized social anxiety to specific sexual dysfunctions or fears. Some folks who may benefit from the healing powers of partner surrogacy include: trauma and abuse survivors folks with little or no sexual experience penis-owners with erectile dysfunction or early ejaculation vulva-owners with vaginismus, or other pelvic floor dysfunction that may make penetrative intercourse painful people who struggle with body acceptance or body dysmorphia people who have anxiety or fear specifically around sex, intimacy, and touch folks with disabilities that make it more challenging to have sex.” --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/antonio-myers4/support
