Saurora Grace, a 32-year-old sex surrogate based in Manchester, provides services aimed at helping married men improve their intimate relationships, often with the objective of preserving their marriages. Over the past six years, Grace has worked with more than 100 married men, offering what she describes as a safe space for clients to explore their desires, insecurities, and relationship difficulties without judgment.
Grace explains that many of her clients come to her when other avenues, such as couple therapy, have not yielded sufficient progress. She emphasizes that her role is not to replace traditional therapy but to complement it by helping men rebuild confidence, learn new ways of being intimate, and improve communication with their spouses. According to Grace, these efforts can lead to improved relationships and a stronger connection between partners.
Her clients often seek to address issues such as a lack of sexual intimacy or difficulty understanding their partners' needs. For some, this means practicing and refining their skills during sessions with Grace, who provides feedback and guidance that clients can later bring back to their marriages. She maintains that none of her clients intend to pursue extramarital affairs, and she insists that her services are focused on strengthening existing relationships rather than undermining them.
Grace also works with couples directly, including some who have requested help in exploring consensual fantasies involving threesomes or other arrangements meant to be constructive and free of conflict. She recounts instances where couples have invited her to participate in role-play or joined sessions together to improve communication and intimacy. These engagements are conducted with the intention of fostering closer bonds within the couple.
In discussing societal attitudes toward sexuality, Grace advocates for a more open and understanding perspective, arguing that attraction to others is a natural aspect of human behavior that does not necessarily threaten committed relationships. She and her partner, Jamie Braith, who describes themselves as pansexual, incorporate this philosophy into their own lives and relationships.
Grace acknowledges criticism from some who view her work as potentially destructive but counters that her clients often confess to her the emotional pain and desperation they face within their marriages. She says many of them express a strong commitment to preserving their partnerships and credit her with helping them achieve renewed intimacy and connection with their spouses.
Her approach aims to address not only sexual issues but also the underlying emotional struggles men experience, offering a confidential and supportive environment where they can express their feelings without shame. Grace views this role as vital in helping men become better partners and, ultimately, in contributing to healthier marriages.
