The Process
The course of this therapy involves continued communication with both the therapist and the Surrogate Partner. The therapist is responsible for addressing the client's concerns and helping them explore ways to overcome their sexual problems through Talk Therapy. If the therapist and client deems necessary that they need additional assistance, they can explore the option of working with a Sexual Surrogate Partner. Therapists are limited only to talk therapy, which is why a Surrogate Partner can be beneficial in helping address the client's concerns through exposure therapy, with no limitations of touch. The therapist is responsible for relaying critical information and treatment goals to the Surrogate Partner for the meeting with the client, so that they may fully address their concerns during the interaction. The therapist, surrogate partner and client work together to create their course of treatment plan, the interaction between the client and the Surrogate Partner is essentially for the client to practice what they've learned with their therapist through talk-therapy.

The Four Phases of Sexual Surrogate Therapy
The methodology of this therapy is described to have four phases to achieve a successful treatment:


 * 1) Emotional connection
 * 2) Sensuality
 * 3) Sexuality
 * 4) Closure

The first step in Surrogate Partner Therapy is for the surrogate to verbally create an emotional connection and bond with the client, to create a safe environment and address any boundaries and expectations. During this step, the surrogate and client can get to know each other as individuals and create a meaningful relationship. This first step is essential in making the client feel comfortable in pursuing this new type of therapy and laying a good foundation for practicing emotional intimacy.

The next step involves exploring the client's sexuality, this step can involve physical touch and nudity to help the client overcome their sexual concerns, but would not involve sexual arousal or interaction between one another. In this step the surrogate can work on exercises with the client to feel comfortable in their own body and next to someone else's body, this can involve hugging, or cuddling.

In the third step, the surrogate and client focus on sexuality, this can involve:


 * Physical touch
 * Sexual contact
 * Sexual arousal
 * Oral-Genital Stimulation
 * Sexual intercourse

The fourth step is closure, to close out the therapy once all parties are satisfied with the results.
