Saurora Grace, 31, has an unusual job.
She has been working as a sex surrogate for the past three years — and says she’s been hired more than 500 times.
The role, which has also been spotlighted on shows like Virgin Island, involves helping adults who struggle with intimacy build confidence and overcome emotional or physical barriers in a safe, guided environment.
Speaking about her work, Saurora explained that her clients range widely in age — from their early 20s to their 80s — and include both men and women. Many come to her seeking support with fear, inexperience, or challenges related to relationships and physical connection.
Her path into the profession, she says, was deeply personal.
“It might sound strange but I got into this line of work after my beloved mum lost her long battle with alcoholism in 2022,” she told The Sun.
“Losing my mum fundamentally reshaped the way I understood life, the body and human connection.”
She said the experience made her realize how often people deny themselves closeness and honesty, and pushed her toward work that helps others reconnect with those aspects of life. According to Saurora, sessions can last several hours and are tailored to each individual’s comfort level and needs, focusing on building trust and easing anxiety around intimacy.

Saurora noted that many of her clients are people with disabilities or those who have experienced life-changing injuries, while others are simply navigating long-term loneliness or lack of experience.
“Just over 90 percent of disabled people are sexually active, but many are still often treated by society as asexual,” she said, adding that she hopes to challenge that perception.
Interestingly, she says that in some cases it’s not the clients themselves but their parents who first reach out — particularly when they want their adult children to experience relationships and physical connection in a supportive setting.
In some cases, mothers pay her to sleep with their sons — typically costing around $320.
While her work has drawn criticism — and even affected past relationships — Saurora believes perceptions would shift if people better understood the impact she has.
She describes her role as creating a “safe, supportive and non-judgmental space” for people to explore connection, confidence, and intimacy on their own terms.
