A sexual surrogate is a professionally certified member of a sex therapy team, who usually works with a psychiatrist or psychologist, and engages in intimate physical relations with a patient in order to achieve a therapeutic goal. Adele Kennedy uses her unique training to transcend the boundaries of conventional massage, introducing us to the concept of sensate focus on touching as its own reward. Touching for Pleasure presents simple exercises that provide the benefit of traditional massage, but the goal of this book is a deeper understanding of our own bodies and enhanced communication between lovers. There are many people who are uncomfortable with being touched. Many adults never experienced warmth and affection through touching as children or infants. Some people have developed a fear of being touched due to experiencing physical or emotional trauma as an adult or child. Without the connection of touch with others, there can be emotional and physical emptiness. The caress and non-demand pleasuring exercises presented in this guide are basic to developing greater intimacy for lovemaking. There is an emphasis on liking your body, making the most of your good features and trying to see the best possible you. Good self-image is important to achieving sexual satisfaction. Touching for Pleasure is different from other massage books in its focus on exploring varieties of touch as a source of sensual and sexual excitement. The book begins with instructions for hand, foot and face massage and culminates with a discussion of pleasurable masturbation, oral sex and intercourse techniques. The information is appropriate for people of any sexual persuasion or age group, and for the single as well as the partner
