Their site is http://www.surrogatetherapy.org/ If you're in Europe, IPSA should be able to refer you to a training program in your country or region of residence. If you're outside North America or Europe, as far as I know the chances are slim that there is a program available, however. I don't know if there's an equivalent profession in other parts of the globe. @Lola — If you’re really interested in becoming a surrogate, the best place to start if you’re in the United States is at the International Professional Surrogates Association, IPSA.

Not only is it awesome that these services exist for folks who want/need them, but their very existence raises the consciousness of the general population, making them aware that people with disabilities are not asexual and that we can (and do) participate in sexual relationships. Bravo to the European gimp activists making this possible! As a queer woman with a severe physical disability living in the US, can I just say: WOW.

I tried watching it on Amazon Live a while back and couldn't see very much of the film due to Amazon's crappy system, but the beginning looks like a porno set-up, not a documentary.
