I don't know what to think of this. My therapist is an attractive woman and i admitted to her my main problem is approaching women. She had me sit on the couch and pulled up her blouse showing me her buttocks. She kept saying "Hmm...does this intimidate you...hmm you scared" she started bouncing her butt around and even put it in my face.
At the end of the session, she said it wasn't sexual. The goal was to cause such an extreme embarassment that it would numb me.
She also presents embarassing situations to me like literally farts in my face and I have to say something.
I'm not sure how common they are, but there used to be sex therapists that would have sex with patients to help them overcome problems. I think it was more in the 60s/70s.
While exposure therapy can be weird (and this might count), I would have anxiety if any woman did something like that with me.
If this isn't a joke, get a lawyer and sue her for sexual harassment!
If I went to a male therapist and told him about my fears of men... I wonder if he would've done something like that? Not! That would traumatize me even more.
I find out about all kinds of "interesting" types of therapy on here all the time. I hate sex scenes in movies and am very awkward around women my age so My God I don't know what the hell would go on in my session :um

This is hilarous and so pathetic. Sounds like the beginning of a porno for women who are turned on by shy guys. The women are dominant and saying they are doing everything that follows "for science" althought we all know this isn't ONE bit true.
And there are sex surrogates (not sure how common they are compared to normal escorts), but that might be a little different from what the OP went through. http://loveshyproject.com/sexsurrogates.html
