A sex therapist has opened up about her unconventional career, revealing that she has slept with over 400 clients as part of her work. Kaly Miller, 52, from the US, said her former partner was supportive of her role as a surrogate partner, which involves engaging in sexual activity to help clients overcome sexual trauma.
Miller initially worked as a remedial sports massage therapist before stumbling upon an advert for an 'open-minded body worker'. She later discovered the role was for a surrogate partner. 'I was not expecting it,' she said. 'I don’t think anyone sits at home and says, “I’m going to be a surrogate partner”.'
Her first client was a man in his 60s who had struggled with intimacy his entire life. Miller worked with him for over a year, and he eventually formed a long-term relationship. This success prompted her to start her own practice, The Naked Room, charging £250 per hour-long session.
Despite the intimate nature of her work, Miller said her ex-partner was understanding. 'My journey is their journey,' she explained. Her parents and children are also supportive. To ensure safety, she conducts exploratory Zoom calls with potential clients, requires recent STI tests, and uses a tracking device on her phone.
