Intimacy Coach and Virgin Island TV Expert Helping People Reconnect with Desire
10 years Certified intimacy, sex & relationship guidanceU.S. Marine Officer Wartime deployment & military service4.5M viewers Channel 4’s Virgin Island reachProfessional surrogate partner On-screen intimacy role
Andre Lazarus is a Somatic Intimacy Guide and media-recognised voice on relationships, sexuality, and embodied connection. His career has followed an unconventional path: from serving in the U.S. Marines to guiding people through the complexities of intimacy and desire. That breadth of experience gives him a distinctive perspective on courage, vulnerability, and human connection.
He is best known for his role on the UK television series Virgin Island, where he appeared as a professional surrogate partner helping participants confront intimacy challenges alongside licensed therapists. The program drew national attention, and Andre’s presence on screen highlighted how intimacy work is not about performance but about safety, consent, and the courage to connect.
Through his practice, Coming Closer, Andre supports individuals and couples across a wide range of needs: men facing midlife performance concerns, survivors of trauma seeking safety, long-term partners wanting to revive passion, and those exploring alternatives such as ethical non-monogamy. Equally, he works with couples committed to monogamy who want to strengthen trust and rediscover each other. His approach, rooted in the Somatica® Method of sex and intimacy coaching, emphasises learning through the body and replacing shame with curiosity.
In this episode, Sean chats withAndre Lazarus, a former U.S. Marine turned Somatic Intimacy Guide. Andre opens up about what men in midlife rarely talk about: sex, shame, and the changing nature of desire. Drawing from his journey from the battlefield to the bedroom, Andre reveals why performance-based masculinity leaves so many men disconnected and how honest, body-based communication can reignite intimacy and confidence. He shares powerful stories from his coaching practice, practical tools for navigating midlife shifts, and a redefinition of what it means to be sexually alive. This is a raw, compassionate conversation about courage, vulnerability, and the freedom that comes when men stop pretending and start connecting.
