Surrogate and Client Interactions

Learning how to develop healthy relationships, how to touch and to receive touch, and how to be more accepting of one’s body and sexuality are important aspects of this process. Care is taken to assure that the client is ready for each new step as the client and surrogate partner gradually progress through experiences that are simultaneously diagnostic, skill-building, and healing. The surrogate partner models social skills, effective communication, and emotional honesty. The surrogate-client relationship offers experiences of shared physical intimacy that facilitate the development of healthy self-concepts and improved sexual functioning. As the work progresses, clients find themselves becoming more relaxed, more open to feelings, and more comfortable with physical and emotional intimacy. Genital-genital contact may or may not be therapeutically indicated. When it is indicated, it is often a minor part of the therapy.” -https://www.surrogatetherapy.org/what-is-surrogate-partner-therapy. "
Pornographic films (pornos), erotic films, sex films, and 18+ films are films that present sexually explicit subject matter in order to arouse and satisfy the viewer. Pornographic films present sexual fantasies and usually include erotically stimulating material such as nudity (softcore) and sexual intercourse (hardcore). A distinction is sometimes made between "erotic" and "pornographic" films on the basis that the latter category contains more explicit sexuality and focuses more on arousal than storytelling; the distinction is highly subjective." -
What does adult movie mean? (definitions.net). “I want to showcase respectful body-language adult films in honor of all people in need of sexual surrogate therapy.” -Antonio Myers.
