No, therapist was not in same room. I would see her in her office, usually following a surrogate session (for my convenience ). I would see the surrogate at a seperate location. In the beginning; if the therapist was in the same room I doubt I would even be able to get and maintain an erection.

But if the opportunity were to present itself now my "little buddy" would probably explode from the pressure of being with both ladies.

I have not been with an "escort" since my Navy days. I have considered seeing one to see how I have improved. I still have the problem of shyness meeting women. But I have found it hard to not try something with my female friends, but I don't want to risk their friendship.

There are some escorts that have gone through the official surrogate partner therapy offered through IPSA. But just because one can have sex does not qualify them as a trained and certified surrogate. I would imagine the training was too difficult or more involved than they imagined it would be. My surrogate partner is very well educated, and I think she would be a great psychotherapist if she wished. My surrogateartner needed about six sessions before I was even able to touch her breasts. I was beginning to question if I was really being given treatment or wasting my money. But then things begin to fall into place.

And with escorts there is the whole legal issue. Prostitution is illegal. Surrogate Partner Therapy, while not codified legal, has been accepted in a few states as medical treatment provided a licensed therapist is supervising.
