First Israeli soldier to receive therapy

Mr. A, as he does not want to disclose his name, was one of the first few Israeli soldiers that received surrogate sex therapy, which was paid by the Ministry of Defense of Israel, after the individuals suffered from a life-changing incident that happened around 30 years ago when he was an army reservist.

After falling from a long-distance height, he was paralyzed from the waist down and unable to experience the pleasures of sex in ways that he was previously able to do.

When Mr. A was injured, he made himself a ‘to-do list’ filled with tasks that he should be able to do himself, like taking a bath, eating, dressing, driving, and being able to have sex independently.

When the accident occurred, he was already married and had a wife and children. His wife was not comfortable talking to therapists and doctors regarding her sex life, due to which he later encouraged her husband to seek surrogate sex therapy from Aloni.

Mr. A described that as a sex therapist, Aloni was able to provide accurate directions and feedback, which he, along with his surrogate partner, was able to comprehend before and after each therapeutic session.
