Woman has sex with clients for therapy

A new movie based on the life of sex surrogate Cheryl Cohen Greene premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this week and received rave reviews.

Greene has intercourse with clients for therapy. She explained to Dr. Drew Thursday night exactly what her profession entails.

“My job is to help people who are confused and have a lot of misinformation about sexuality,” she said. “We don't live in a very sex-positive culture. [I] help them understand themselves -- not try to have them fit into what they see in the media … [I] help them to understand how to relax -- how to know more about their own bodies -- how to share that with a partner.”

Dr. Drew then asked Greene about her work with people who have severe disabilities or medical problems that may have no other way to engage in sex.

"Those people have just as much of a sex drive and interest in finding out what they can or cannot do," she responded.

Dr. Drew added, “So [it’s] not about changing a culture or changing people's thinking about sexuality.”

"That's true," Green replied.

Later, a clinical psychologist got into a heated debate with Greene, strongly questioning her work. You can watch that portion of the interview here.
