Sex therapist Olivia Bentley has made headlines by adopting a unique approach to her practice, engaging intimately with her clients in a bid to "save marriages." Speaking to the New York Post, she candidly stated, "I get physically involved with the majority of the people I see, I think that's part of the appeal."
This 46-year-old "veteran" sex worker boasts a 15-year tenure in the industry and has amassed quite a following. Some women request her services to "demo sex acts" on their husbands, while others offer their spouses a "hall pass" to visit Bentley. "Some ladies say, 'I don't always want to be involved in this, but I want to know who you are, I want to approve of you, and I'm going to let him come and see you,'" Bentley shared. Her services come at a premium, earning her a staggering $500,000 annually.
Outside the bedroom, Bentley, who sees up to 10 clients weekly, provides emotional support and guidance for maintaining a healthy sex life, ultimately nurturing their marriages.
Despite not holding official counseling qualifications, Bentley has a master's degree in education and honed her skills while working at Nevada's Moonlite BunnyRanch, a legal brothel.
Bentley has strong words for those who deny their partners' sexual desires. "It's not an option to get married to a man and then turn around and say, 'Oh sorry, I'm not into sex anymore, too bad for you,'" she asserted, calling it unfair to unhappy men. She understands that some men seek fulfillment elsewhere when their needs aren't met at home.
However, Bentley believes that a fulfilling sex life isn't confined to the bedroom. She advises her clients to maintain their physical fitness, claiming it can boost libido. "The more athletic you are, the more sex you want to have—you feel more confident and aroused," she explained. Bentley herself is a fitness enthusiast.
She encourages both partners to engage in activities like yoga and stretching, emphasizing that a healthy sex life contributes to a healthier marriage.
Bentley commends her clients for their openness and willingness to work on their relationships. "Couples who have sessions with me are the coolest in the world because they understand the importance of sexuality in their relationship as a part of maintaining a healthy marriage," she said. "When you're forthcoming with your sexuality and your needs, that's a healthy thing."
