I recorded this the day before Charlie Sheen's HIV announcement, Please let us remember he is a son, a brother and a father. This is now a time for discernment not judgment.

HIV and AIDS are not the same thing. This is about maiintaining YOUR Sexual Health. Difference beteween Anonymous and Confidential testing.

JUST RELEASING!!! IRIS KRASNOW - SEX After - Women Share How Intimacy Changes As Life Changes. This is much needed book and MUCH needed conversations, for women, their partners and relationships. Below is my testimonial on the back of her book. "This book will start conversations that need to be had, and discussions about female sexual health and pleasure that need to be better understood. I know only too well that some of the best and most practical advice comes from those who had been there. I also know change to and in our sex lives is inevitable and that women want to know what other women really do to recreate their intimate and sexual landscape. Part validation, part guide, part supportive girlfriend Sex After is your close girlfriends in book form sharing the real goods and I mean real goods on what they did and do. Iris asks REAL women and men "How can a woman sustain intimacy through the many physical and emotional shifts of the female growth cycle?" Sex After… is filled with advice in the voices of 150 women, from waitresses to CEOs, ages twenty to eighty-eight. Their stories are raw and prescriptive, describing the challenges that can arise in each phase of a woman's life – from navigating the hooking-up culture in the twenties, to sexuality after pregnancy, midlife malaise, breast cancer, menopause, divorce, widowhood. The interviews with ordinary women are bolstered by expert commentary from sex researchers, gynecologists, oncologists, and therapists, coming together in an all-encompassing exploration and explanation of everything about sex you are dealing with, or are curious about that lies ahead. Sex After… offers a clear and hopeful road map to how to push through the obstacles that affect a woman's most intimate relationships. The giddy Golden Girls in the book are proof that, with creativity and an open mind, the sizzle can last a lifetime! (Men will love this book, too.)

The We-Vibe story is part entrepreneurial dream and part ideal marketing timing. My guest is Tori Parker the Director of Business Development - The Americas. I always look for company's that have superior products and an honest work ethos. we-vibe.com The newest addition is the We-Vibe 4. Daydreaming to the hum of his car tires on the asphalt during a long road trip, inventor Bruce Murison wondered why there wasn't a massager that could just slide in between a couple while they made love. That started a journey of another type for Bruce and his wife, Melody. The more Bruce researched, the more he found an industry full of products that were intimidating, poorly designed and cheaply made. Bruce and Melody founded Standard Innovation Corporation and Bruce dedicated himself to the enormous — and enormously important — task of creating safe, high-quality, eco-friendly sexual wellness products that enhance the lovemaking experience for couples. Many years and thousands of design iterations later, the patented, silicone-encased, worn while making love We-Vibe was born. Since then, We-Vibe products have taken the world by storm. They are enjoyed by millions of couples, from all walks of life and aged from 18 to over 80 years old, and have become among the fastest selling sexual wellness products of its type in history.

My best friend Sherri Tenpenny's husband Kevin Carey died suddenly last week. Truly they had a so perfect for them relationship. They would often comment "How in the world did we ever find one another?" To say Sherri and Kevin are/were unique is an understatement. Soul Mates. The shock of this had me look at my own life and relationships. It is often when there is no return that we have a biggest learning curves in life and in our sexual relationships. I started talking about sex after my friend Bryan's partner Donn dies of AIDS. That life lesson started me on the path of talking about sexual health. I also learned from Kevin's, Donn's and my mother's death Don't delay saying something to someone - SAY IT NOW!!! Also don't choose relationships based on what your THINK someone else tells you to choose. Sexual Patterns of choice are downloaded by experience and influences. Choose them wisely.

This is Erotica Night!!!Tonight my guest is award winning erotica writer Kristina Wright whose life actually is more like yours than you could imagine. Just with a little twist. These are Kristina's own words; " I just celebrated my 23rd wedding anniversary and I have been writing erotica and erotic romance for almost 15 years, tapping into the desires of average people who often write me notes saying they wish they could share their fantasies with their partner. The book covers every stage of marriage, from newlywed to middle age and beyond, including the ups and downs of parenting, long distance separations, changes in libido, etc. In 23 years, I've experienced just about everything marriage has to offer and I am happy to share my experience and wisdom with readers, along with asking a dozen erotica authors-- all of whom are in long-term relationships ranging from 5 to over 30 years-- to contribute their anecdotes, memoir and erotic fiction."

Charlie Glickman, Ph.D. Sexuality Educator, Author, Speaker and Trainer www.charlieglickman.com, facebook.com/charlieglickman, Twitter @charlieglickman, www.makesexeasy.com https://rockhisworldla.eventbrite.com - February 8th-9th Santa Monica Again I get to interview Charlie Glickman about his break through book, The Ultimate Guide to Prostate Pleasure. We have tons of material, research and awareness about the Female G Spot and finally the Male G Spot is getting its spotlight. The Ultimate Guide to Prostate Pleasure - finally a plain speaking, solid sex education book for Prostate Pleasure. As two top Sex Educators, Charlie Glickman PhD and Aislinn Emirzian have put together an easy reading book on a subject that is equal parts prostate health and powerful sexual pleasure. Charlie, Aislinn and I will debunk myths, (You are not secretly gay if you like this type of pleasure!!!) and answer the most commonly asked 'wrong' questions and deliver for women and men the potential of Prostate Pleasure. Men are more aware of their need for a PSA test yet few are aware that Prostate health and pleasure are closely aligned. The Bend Over Boyfriend video series opened a new awareness that straight men enjoy penetrative play with their female partners. I know the sales numbers of hetero strap-on products with just one company were astronomical!!! Charlie can be found at http://www.charlieglickman.com and Aislinn , www.aislinnemirzian.com. Charlie Glickman PhD has been a sexuality educator for over twenty years. He teaches workshops on a wide range of topics, including sex-positivity, sex & shame, gender & masculinity, sexual orientation, communities of erotic affiliation, and many sexual practices such as prostate play, anal sex, pegging, sex toys, BDSM, and polyamory. Charlie is certified as a sexuality educator by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists and he regularly presents at conferences and community events, offers trainings on sexuality for medical professionals, therapists, and clergy. Charlie is available for speaking engagements, in-service trainings, and workshops. You can find more information about him on his website. Aislinn Emirzian is a workshop instructor and sex coach based in San Francisco. She first became a sex educator at Smith College, and later worked with sex positive adult toy stores like Oh My Sensuality Shop in Massachusetts and Good Vibrations in California. Over the years, she has taught workshops on a wide range of topics, but prostate pleasure is her favorite! Find her at www.aislinnemirzian.com.

Micheal Russer was my guest on August 8th and I knew I was hearing a positive we-can-do message that many many couples needed to hear. That erectile issues and impotence are NOT the END of your love life. As a result Michael and I collaborated on the beta test webinar EXTRAORDINARY INTIMACY - a 4 week program to share this ground breaking attitude and step by step method. So tonight I have the gift of Michael and his partner Jacky Lopez on to share their story of creating intimacy they did not know was possible. These are two entrepreneurs with busy lives and they will share how they have been able to create this intimacy. Then in the second half Micheal and I will discuss what we learned from our beta testers and what our next steps are for the EXTRAORDINARY INTIMACY webinar series. Michael Russer's upcoming book (2014 release) “HARDLY BROKEN – One man’s journey to extraordinary intimacy in the face of full impotence” FYI - You can go to http://hardlybroken.com to pre-register for various benefits prior to his book being published. BIO: Michael J. Russer Beginning in September of 2011 Michael began a year-long personal transformation that included a diagnosis of prostate cancer, radical prostatectomy, follow up intensive radiation treatments and full blown impotence. He considers his resulting impotence to be one of the biggest blessings in his life. It is because of his impotence that he and his partner discovered an entirely new approach to experiencing levels of emotional and physical intimacy that far exceeds anything either experienced prior to when things were working “correctly”. It is his personal mission in life to serve other couples who struggle with emotional and physical intimacy due to ED, impotence or simply because they have lost their “spark” and use his communications skills to share what he has learned worldwide.

This is Lou's Sex in The News starting with how Halloween gives you insight into people's sexual selves and fantasies. Some websites seem rather out of it on their offerings however they strike a nerve on how people wish to be perceived. NOW booking private Skype sessions so you can send private e-mails to [email protected]. I discuss my twice monthly volunteering at Children of the Night a rescue Shelter Home for children rescued from underage prostitution. Olga Cohen of OlgasSecret.net very generously donated her Vaginal Wash for the girls. Finished the Extraordinary Intimacy Webinar's beta testing and my co-creator Michael Russer and I got terrific feedback and more importantly the participants got great results and information for future use. I am on expert on Yourtango.com's video segment - Marriage get Better if You Live Together First? More posting over next 6 weeks.

The delightful and resourceful Olga Cohen creator of Vaginal Renewal Complex (VRC) is my repeat guest. Truly one of best products I recommend for women of all ages who find vaginal dryness interfers with pleasurable sex. As a bride in her early 40's who was slammed into early menopause Olga took her deep consumer products background and teamed with two M.D.s to create Vaginal Rejuvenation Complex, a non-hormonal, natural ingredients, no parabens vaginal cream. Her other outstanding product is Vaginal Wash which I highly recommend as a gentle way to cleanse the vulvar area and feel clean and fresh. www.Innerintimates.net, contact Olga directly @ [email protected]

Lou discusses current media she has done. I am the Vice-Chair for the fund raising council that is finalizing the Dr. Joycelyn Elders Chair in Sexual Health Education. Former US Surgeon General Dr Elders knows that sexual health education is the key to ending the poverty cycle of 'babies having babies". If or a loved one identifies with Dr. Elders and her legacy please contact me about potential donations to the Elders Chair. I was one of four YourTango.com Experts @ living together + or - before marriage. FYI - do not practice Psychic Sex or Psychic Relationships. Ornabakes.com blog that I am posting to @ body image and self esteem. I cover Week #2 of Seven Days of Sexy. I talked about Week #1 last week. Given Manners, Etiquette and Deportment were my specialty before I started talking about sex I see a direct correlation between the two. I LOVE Judith Martin's Miss Manners book and pull references from there during the show.

There are times when we all need to be open to learning about things and sex is no different. The best thing about growing up is you see different ways and options to look at something you thought you already knew....like sex. Creating the Perfect Partner. Lou and Di look at How do you become vulnerable? To let someone in when you are newly dating? The Week ! of Seven Nights of Sexy Lou created for ornabakes.com founder Orna Purkin. The power of Intimacy versus sex. And lots more.

Madeleine Castellanos M.D. Psychiatrist www.reclaimyoursexuality.com When I had Dr. Castellanos on 3 weeks ago I knew I had to have her back to address the growing impact of medications on people's sex lives. People, we have a real problem of the lack of transparency of drugs impact on your bodies, our ability to fall in love, and this impact wave hasn't even crested yet. #1 Question I ask parents to let them know how crucial this is - " Do you want to have grandchildren?" We are medicating people out of their ability to fall in love, stay in love and know what love is. Here are some topics we'll cover, and I want to start the trend of how to get off them and return their brain and sexual function. That is a very Big Job. Chemical Imbalance. Brain imbalance. My understanding is there is no theory for this and no demonstrated state of chemical imbalance. It is a physician’s way to suggest and urge a person take prescriptions. (Stuart Shipko) According to data obtained from IMS Health, the number of children 0-5 on psychiatric drugs has increased 42% since 2009. In 2012, there were 1,085,410 children aged 0-5 on psychiatric drugs, which is the highest the number has been in the last decade. Let’s breakdown what ADHD is and is not. My understanding is the ‘diagnosing’ of ADD skyrocketed when schools were being given funding if they had children who ‘had it.’ How do teachers qualify with ‘diagnosing’ children with ADHD. What can parents do to stop a teacher insisting they drug their child?

Once a month I like to look at some of the more prominent sex stories in any media. I go from Glamour magazine articles - adult star James Deen's awareness of what adult films are for and that the actors are more professional than many think, the things a $200,000 matchmaker will tell you NOT to do if you want to meet someone, dating concierge Laurie Davis of eflirtexpert.com suggestions.  My thoughts on Melissa Gorga's new book Love Italian Style that that spurred Tracie Egan Morrisey's Jezebel piece saying she Advocates Marital Rape.  To me reads in part like a Rules throwback and in part her relationship and what works for THEM. I compare the Glamour article "Why No One Is Getting their Period" and a previous HuffPost Live interview I did on The Pull-Out Generation. And I am suspicious it is 'advertorial' for Merck's 4 page color spread ad for Nexplanon that followed 15 very thin pages later. The new program Micheal Russer and I are creating to refine, build and create intimacy and connection. Dr. Madeleine Castellanos will be my guest Oct. 2nd @ hormones, medications and how to Preserve Our Sex Lives and Our Children's Sexual Future

Valerie Ramsey - Author of Creating What's Next Gracefully. Valerie began a mid-life corporate career at 53, started modeling at 63, and became a published author and speaker at 68. This is a woman on a mission with a message. We'll discuss How your relationship and sexuality are tied to all areas of your life and the changes one experiences in a long term marriage. What part is Gracefully in life, sex? in attitude? What part is the emotional connection and how to keep it. What were some of the myths that people told her as a young bride. Who are her role models and why? Sex toys and lubes.

As a Certified Sex Educator I am ALWAYS looking for experts in various fields who can deliver great solid easily understandable information about sexuality...in ALL areas. New York City based Dr. Castellanos hits that mark. www.reclaimyoursexuality.com We'll discuss among various subjects; Sexual fantasies, What WOULD a penis tell a Woman?, Trends she sees in her practice, Impact of stress on sex, Importance of sexuality education in Med Schools, HuffPostLive segment I did today, Pull-out Generation and more.

This week I discussed GREAT LOVER Behavior, Attitudes and Techniques from my book, The Great Lover Playbook. I also cover suggestions at the end on how to choose sex toys. After this week's casting of Dakota Johnson and Charlie Hunnam sparked more conversations @ Fifty Shades of Grey, in an upcoming show I will share How To Get The Most Out of Fifty Shades of Grey, in positions, in toys, in food, in ambience, in attitude, in music etc.

This is my week to talk about what I see in the news, what makes me crazy, great manual techniques women and men, info interchangeable depending on your body. Seduction meals. Starting with a gf of mine who is heading back into dating, last week's guest, Fiona Fine of Goddessconnections.com had some great advice, Date Like a Man. FYI - Miley Cyrus wasn't twerking on the VMA stage, suggestive and activity that will get eyeballs on the screen which is what producers and advertisers want. Would Montana Judge Baugh have given the same sentence to a 52 yo man who raped his 14 granddaughter? Me thinks NOT!! Starting October 1st, I will be doing a NEW, invitation only, live coaching Webinar 4 Weeks to Extraordinary Intimacy with Micheal Russer. This will be a live coaching webinar for Couples and Singles who know they want extraordinary emotional, physical and spiritual intimacy. Contact me at [email protected] for consideration. Myopic Vision Clouds Science. I adore science and the scientific study of sexuality. However I do see RED flags when a paper is released with only ONE side of a presentation, book or study. Amy Bonomi from Ohio State wrote a paper supporting their supposition that Fifty Shades of Grey Romanticizes Sexual Violence and Emotional Abuse of Women. I call 'Double Crap' on their article. Violence in any form is unacceptable, mental or physical. However I call their Methodology into question. To use less than 10% of the trilogy (124 pages of 1625), use a Methodology of 'consistency of interpretation", translation the lead author will tell the other two scholars what to think....they ignored and overlooked the that that this is a love story, millions of woman around the world as so not going to drawn to sexual violence as a turn on. That really insults women's intelligence. They ignore that Anastasia is not an easily influenced young woman, that when ever there is disaster in the trilogy, Red Room, or sexual encounter it is Anastasia that has initiated it not Christian. They make suppositions about Anastasia's multiple fathers (could contribute to intimacy complications) without really looking at her rock solid relationship with her stepfather. That she is well aware of flighty female relationships based on her mother's behavior. Please if you are going to use a book as an example look at the entire thing not less than 10%.

My guest is the entreprenuerial Fiona Fine who is the founder of two female-centric personal fact finding online magazines. Howtoputthefunbackintodating.com and, WomenWhoRunIt.com. Born of her own search for pleasure and passion when she ended a long term marriage that had neither Fiona first created GODESSCONNECTIONS.COM How To Put The Fun Back Into Dating: Bringing Joy Back Into Your Lovelife! and then Women Who Run It: Your Life - Your Love - Your Terms! was created. Fiona Fine, Editor-in-chief is a self-glorified Goddess and Dating Expert in her early 50's. After a long, unfulfilling and unsatisfying relationship and years in the corporate world, she decided to put the pleasure back into her existence and to start living life purely on her own terms. She is the founder of Goddess Connections and started the movement: How To Put The Fun Back Into Dating where she helps women turn their dating lives around. She is also the Editor-In-Chief of Women Who Run It: Your Life - Your Love - Your Terms! a magazine that advocates for women like her; 'alpha' women who want to stop the frazzled time-sucking search for information and discover the fastest path to the money, career, health, relationships, even SEX of their dreams.

I am thrilled to have my dear friend and colleague Dr. Mark Schoen of @SexSmartFilms.com on this week's #SexTalkWithLou. As a top sex educator for over 30 years Mark has created one of the best go-to resources for sex education films. His user friendly massive collection is used by educational professionals, therapists and Joe and Jane Q Public. And I mean ALL types of films. We'll discuss What are the trends in sex education films? Which country makes the best? How are we doing here in the US? What areas need more content? Being politically correct what are some growing terms that need to be incorporated into our sexual lexicon:, #genderquerying, #genderneutral. Then I want to cover his incredible documentary TRANS, about transgender stories that will touch your heart and give anyone more insight into the journey of transgender individuals.

Imagine a man saying “ED is the BEST thing that has ever happened to my intimate life!” Tonight's show is a very different practical message for any man or their partner who has dealt with or is dealing with Impotency. Given the epidemic of impotency men and their partners are experiencing from life and stress, injuries, surgeries, medical treatments and medications Michael Russer's upcoming book (2014 release) “HARDLY BROKEN – One man’s journey to extraordinary intimacy in the face of full impotence” is a timely and much needed book. For both the man on the street and his partner and those of us in the arena of sexual health. Our world of education expands when people such as Micheal share with others about his positive experiences.

Karla Scott, Director of Sales for Eldorado Trading Company will give us an insider's view of the world of selling sex toys to retailers across the country. This will be a VERY fun conversation!!!! Karla and I will talk about how she creates and tailors Eldorado's marketing of adult novelties to their national and international retailers. She is the boots on the ground AKA sales reconnaissance for her company. Given that Colorado based Eldorado is one the top US based distributors and has 16,000 SKUs and over 300 different vendors she has many options to help her retailers choose the best for their customers. How does she answer, "What is the best vibe? What about this lube?" Her answers lie in education and training, gathering the best products which is an Eldorado focus and training the sales staff so they have the best possible information BEFORE they talk to customers and don't learn in a trial by error fashion. She brings her 22 years of executive background, Fortune 500 (UPS Sr. Account Exec.) and entrepreneurial skills(Landscape floral company)into her sex toy world, translation - educate your staff first!!! Good Business principles n'est ce-pas? What she sees the current market trends are. How she is constantly learning what is available. How does she balance wearing 2 hats, one serving the manufacturer and the other the retailer, and much much more……

Starting with Sex in The News, I mean really could there be more??? One of my favorite guests, Dian Wiley, Ph.D., sex therapist based in Seattle and I will look at two of the most common and toughest sexual issue categories: 1) Cheating and 2) Boredom. Pay attention while two seasoned sexuality experts give their best ideas, solutions and possible options for people and couples to use and consider. Let's start with how does a couple define cheating? There are as many definitions as there are people. Dr. Diana will discuss what possible cognitive (why you thought to do it) and behavioral (practical behaviors to change/adjust/add) techniques she might use to address this. That couples who remain together typically fall into one of 3 categories and which category they are in determines if they will be satisfied afterwards or just stick it out. Hardly what one wants to do for the rest of their life Boredom - so who's responsible for entertaining you???? Really if you are an adult it is about taking a proactive position on all things. Children wait adults act.

Seriously there is sooo much about sex and its impact in the news from Elliott Spitzer, 'trust me with your purse strings' plea to Rick Perry's attack on Senator Wendy Davis to Weiner's run for NYC mayor. Truly for the return to politics dudes I see it as a run for money. I see that Spitzer, Sanford and Weiner have run out of money and having been on the political money train want back on. Know why they're being listened to? Their wives. George Carlin's has a great monologue that addresses their political double speak hypocrisy.

Sex in the News - the last two weeks has had a range of hugely impactful reports and articles on sexuality in the media. I will be reviewing a number of them and calling certain people and attitudes on the proverbial carpet. Micheal Douplas's I got oral cancer from cunnilingus, or really???? There is an association of HPV (Human Papilloma Virus) 16 with oral and throat cancers however to say it is the cause is in my opinion irresponsible. What about your other lifestyle choices? The impact of women now not getting the type of sexual pleasure that for many women is the best is just one impact. Then I'll look at the anthropological source of HPV 16. Recent article HPV vaccine cut infection by half in ten girls. GRRRRR!!!!! Seriously people look at the science and the research and follow the money. I use Dr. Diane Harper's presentation at the 4th International Public Conference on Vaccinations, October 4th, 2009. www.nvic.org Dr. Harper was one the lead researchers for Merck's development of Gardasil and Glaxo-Smith-Kline's Cervarix and she states there is NOTHING that is as effective at preventing cervical cancer than screening...translation Pap smears. I discuss plenty more on this subject. The high end adult novelty lawsuit between Standard Innovation, We-Vibe and Lelo. The international Trade Commission ruled in favor of Standard Innovation. What this means for more and better products on the market. The collapse of Exodus International, the ex-gay organization that claimed through Reparative Therapy people could be 'cured' of homosexuality. Exodus' former head Alan Chambers who reached out last year to Lisa Ling who has a show on OWN wanting to reach out and formally apologize to all those who had been adversely affected by Exodus' practices. My guest last month Dr. Winston Wilde titled his show, Reparative therapy is neither. Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) changes her view on same sex marriage influenced by a lesbian couple who have adopted four children. The 20 week ban passes the House. The blustering flustering men who are once again trying to raise their social media profile by challenging aspects of the abortion law. Baby's masturbate in utero rationalization. Sam Taylor-Johnson hired to direct Fifty Shades of Grey.

So you think you want to teach human sexuality? Well then pay close attention as tonight my guest Megan Andelloux and I will share the inside track on how to make a living lecturing worldwide about healthy human sexuality. Megan's philosophy is sexuality can be spoken about and following the Hippocratic Oath answer the questions about sex and above all "Do No Harm" ohmegan.com, Creator of Study Sex College Tour. Megan Andelloux is a nationally Certified Sexuality Educator (CSE) through The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, an HIV educator and a Board Certified Sexologist through The American College of Sexologists. Ms. Andelloux worked for nine years as a youth-focused sexuality educator in NY, RI, CT, and NJ before bringing her love for teaching at a locally run feminist sex-shop in Providence, RI. It was there that she began to notice adults did not have a space to ask questions and learn about sexuality. She also noticed adults hold many of the same questions teens do when it comes to sexual issues, and so she merged into working in the world of adult sexuality education. Ms. Andelloux was named ” Vagina Warrior of the Year” from the Vagina Monologues for her work regarding sexual communication and fear reduction. She has been labeled by the Rhode Island press as “The Princess of Pleasure” and more recently, “The Sex Ed Warrior Queen” as she is on a mission to promote sexual health, wellness, and communication. Ms. Andelloux lectures internationally at colleges, universities, medical schools, and sexuality institutions on issues surrounding sexual pleasure, sexual health, politics, and erotic justice. To date, she has taught at over three dozen higher educational institutions, including medical schools and Ivy league universities such as Brown, Yale, and Harvard. She is listed on Wikipedia as an American Feminist, Writer and Sex Educator and on the Erotic Heritage Museum’s Hall of Heroes, which showcases icons of sexual revolution. She has worked full-time in the field of Sexual Education for more than twelve years.

As we approach Memorial Day I was reflecting on the service our military gives this country. I've also coordinated panels on sexuality and disability for the Coalition to Support America's Heroes (CSAH). I've seen how severly injured soldiers injuries impact these service personnel's sex lives, marriages and family relationships. Given how powerful the media's messages are I looked at, "So what recent messages has the film industry delivered about sexuality?", and top on my list to look at was Sessions. Based on Cheryl Cohen Greene's professional surrogate partnership with severely disabled poet Mark O'Brien. Did Sessions get it right? So I asked a colleague and Clinical Sexual Surrogate to give me the insider's view on this powerful and often misinterpreted part of sex therapy. And believe you me I learned plenty myself. Shai Rotem is the founder of The Center for Professional Clinical Surrogate Therapy. He is an experienced certified Surrogate-Partner since 1997.

Each Monday morning, Rick Davis who coordinates my social media, and I look at what is my weekly Theme. This week was Seeking / Searching. Then I started looking at all the people and events in my field that have Inspired me because people often ask me "What inspired you to work in sexuality?' Answer - the people who told me how my work had impacted them and their relationships. I am so so inspired by heart and passion. By people who don't hear "No, Can't Happen, Who do You Think You Are?" when their heart's voice says Keep going you're right. I am inspired by my colleagues who keep me accountable. My peers who have come from very disparate backgrounds to create new ground breaking toys and products that have contributed worldwide to people's sexual connection and pleasure. Tom Stewart - Sportsheets, Tiffany York of MyFixsation, Ethan Imboden of Jimmy Jane, Jackie Brandwynne of Very Private Inc, Tony Levine of Big Teaze Toys, Bruce and Melody Murison of Standard Innovatons that created the first couple's vibe the We-Vibe. From a former marine to industrial designer to consumer products guru to electrical engineer none of these people started in the area of sex enhancing products yet their inspirations were tied to them not finding what they wanted and others said they needed. I am very inspired by people who have the strength to standup even when their beliefs aren't popular. Greg Paulk who rescinded his Ex-gay Reparative Therapy stance, Matt Moore who shared he knows it's impossible to change yourself and still struggles with blending his faith and not acting on his homosexual attractions, Brain McNaught the Godfather of Gay Sensitivity who is known worldwide for his Corporate Diversity Trainings. Dr. David Satcher who would not back down on his Surgeon-General's Call to Action on Sexuality under the sexaully repressive politics of the Bush Jr White House. In closing I am inspired by the Elizabeth Smart's John Hopkins presentation this week was so powerfully highlighted that comprehensive sexual education is needed. This is one very strong, brave young woman. http://fox13now.com/2013/05/06/video-elizabeth-smart-speaks-at-johns-hopkins-university/

An article earlier this week about the former poster boy for Reparative Therapy Ex-gay Leader John Paulk reversing his stand on this therapy spurred me to ask my terrific colleague Dr. Winston Wilde to shine a light on Reparative Therapy. Especially in light of a California Bill SB-1172 Sexual Orientation Change efforts. This bill was signed by Gov. Brown September 30, 2012 and point 865.1 specifically states it is not to be administered to anyone under 18. Then the day of this interview Matt Moore referred to as the ex-gay Christian Blogger was exposed to have been on the gay dating site Grindr. Dr. Wilde feels it s important for our professional peers to create a policy statement about this form of therapy. What is it? Does it actually work? What is the science behind it? Are trained professionals doing this? Why wouldn't Michelle Bachmann and her husband talk about their use of it during her Presidential campaign? Winston Wilde - 1999 Doctor of Human Sexuality: Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, San Francisco. 1997 Masters in Clinical Psychology: Antioch University Los Angeles. 1995 Bachelors in Liberal Arts: Antioch University Los Angeles. Specialization - Sexual, Erotic and Gender Minorities. Wilde has lectured on diverse topics as Love, Evolutionary Sexology, Male Circumcision, and Psychotherapy with Erotic Minority Persons across America and in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, India and Nepal.

About The Killer Wore Leather: Cormac “Mack” Steel, Mr Global Leather, has been murdered at this year’s BDSM/fetish weekend in New York City. He was found dead on the floor of his Manhattan suite wearing only a pair of frilly, yellow panties. And the suspects who could have killed him number in the thousands. Detective Rebecca Feldblum has worked murder cases before, but none quite so exotic as this one. Suddenly trapped in a world of leather and latex, masters and slaves, pups and trainers, Rebecca has only a weekend to find who killed Mack Steel—and although she doesn’t know it, she’ll discover more about the kink underworld, and herself, than she could ever anticipate. A deliciously tongue-in-cheek murder mystery, The Killer Wore Leather is a strapping invitation for readers to join Rebecca as she explores the private, erotic world of BDSM personalities and leather kinks in search of a murderer. With biting humor and keen insight, popular erotica author Laura Antoniou creates the kinkiest game of Clue worth playing. About the Author: Laura Antoniou authored the well-known Marketplace series of erotic novels. She has also edited the groundbreaking Leatherwomen anthologies, and writes scholarly work on BDSM. In 2011, Antoniou won the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Leather Association. Her work has been translated into Spanish, German, Hebrew, Japanese and Korean.

She resides in Queens, New York.“The Killer Wore Leather comes just in the nick of time for me. Fifty Shades of Grey stopped being funny around page 34, so thank you, Laura, for giving me something that’s supposed to make me laugh!” —Kate Kingsley, author of Red

Around Valentine's Day I have seen many long term relationships come apart, seems people take a closer look at their relationship and if it is really supporting them. In the last week I had 2 people one end a relationship after 37 years the other 22 years. In speaking with these people they have MANY questions about online dating.

We have tons of material, research and awareness about the Female G Spot and finally the Male G Spot is getting its spotlight. The Ultimate Guide to Prostate Pleasure - finally a plain speaking, solid sex education book for Prostate Pleasure. As two top Sex Educators, Charlie Glickman PhD and Aislinn Emirzian have put together an easy reading book on a subject that is equal parts prostate health and powerful sexual pleasure. Charlie, Aislinn and I will debunk myths, (You are not secretly gay if you like this type of pleasure!!!) and answer the most commonly asked 'wrong' questions and deliver for women and men the potential of Prostate Pleasure. Men are more aware of their need for a PSA test yet few are aware that Prostate health and pleasure are closely aligned. The Bend Over Boyfriend video series opened a new awareness that straight men enjoy penetrative play with their female partners. I know the sales numbers of hetero strap-on products with just one company were astronomical!!! Charlie can be found at http://www.charlieglickman.com and Aislinn , www.aislinnemirzian.com. Charlie Glickman PhD has been a sexuality educator for over twenty years. He teaches workshops on a wide range of topics, including sex-positivity, sex & shame, gender & masculinity, sexual orientation, communities of erotic affiliation, and many sexual practices such as prostate play, anal sex, pegging, sex toys, BDSM, and polyamory. Charlie is certified as a sexuality educator by the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists and he regularly presents at conferences and community events, offers trainings on sexuality for medical professionals, therapists, and clergy. Charlie is available for speaking engagements, in-service trainings, and workshops. You can find more information about him on his website. Aislinn Emirzian is a workshop instructor and sex coach based in San Francisco. She first became a sex educator at Smith College, and later worked with sex positive adult toy stores like Oh My Sensuality Shop in Massachusetts and Good Vibrations in California. Over the years, she has taught workshops on a wide range of topics, but prostate pleasure is her favorite! Find her at www.aislinnemirzian.com.

My guest is a long time colleague and friend. Dr. Chris Kraft and I are currently on the Leadership Council for Program in Human Sexuality at U of Minnesota. Chris is a licensed psychologist and AASECT certified sex therapist specially trained to achieve pragmatic and solution-oriented results for couples and individuals. His goal is to improve each person's happiness as it relates to their sexual intimacy, expression and identity. Dr. Kraft specializes in the evaluation and treatment of all sexual and gender conditions: low sexual desire, erection, orgasm and arousal difficulties, genital pain conditions, sexual addiction and compulsivity, internet pornography, marital infidelity, sexual orientation, cross dressing, gender concerns, and other unique fetishes and sexual attractions. Dr. Kraft is the co director of clinical services and instructor at the Sexual Behaviors Consultation Unit in the Department of Psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. Dr. Kraft is also a part-time Lecturer in the Psychological and Brain Sciences Department at the Johns Hopkins University where he teaches two human sexuality courses. So we're going to look at what he sees from a therapist's standpoint is new in sexual compulsivity, internet pornography treatment...can it be 'cured'? Any new fetishes becoming more common place? And his unique position of teaching 2 different classes in Human Sexuality.

This week's Assignment - 1) List Your Heroes. 2) Explain why you are grateful they are in your life. 3) What are the gifts you are giving forward from them? Last week Amy Byer who handles my social media asked me to consider writing out a list of who my heroes are. That had my brain start sorting and shifting on who is a hero and how does one become someone's hero? As I started my list it surprised me what the themes were. Then today one the English speaking world's top motivational speakers Zig Zigler died and for anyone who is a student of motivation and personal development he is a godfather to the field. It had me look at why did I chose particular people. Lord knows here in California we have ALL kinds of motivational speakers and yet I have found many of them do not walk their talk. I'll talk about those that have supported my career and my life's journey.

My guest this evening is Sandra Daugherty. http://sexnerdsandra.com A passionate sex educator based in Los Angeles, her irreverent humor and quirky love for details has given rise to her moniker, Sex Nerd Sandra. So how does one become a sex nerd and what does a sex nerd do??? We'll cover all those details and how Sandra started in the field. Just as there is a range of sexual appetites and desires there is a growing variety and range of sex educators devoloping to match those varying populations. Sandra is the resident sex blogger on Chris Hardwick’s Nerdist.com. She also works & teaches at The Pleasure Chest in Los Angeles and coaches individuals. She has been seen on, “Keeping Up with the Kardashians,” and the pilot episode of “The Wanda Sykes Show.” She has also lent a voice to both Playboy and Spice Radio. Often, Sandra is asked, “Why sex education?” to which she shrugs, “I can’t help it.” Since the first time 9-year-old little Sandra told a friend how babies were made (with anatomically-sound understanding), she’s had a lifelong love affair with this adorable aspect of the human condition. Sandra believes human sexuality should be a distinct field of study as it is a distinct & important aspect of our lives. And she, for one is happy, quite happy, to study it.

Dr.Linda Mona is a cherished colleague in our mutual field of sexual health. Truly she is my go-to person about sexuality and disability. From panels and hands on breakout sessions for severly injured OEF and OIF soldiers to Disability Conferences to "LInda what's new ?' Linda is my go-to girl. So let's jump into what is the definition of a disability: can be a range of things from someone with a bad hip, to chronic arthritis issues, sight impairments, respiratory issues, mobility issues they are all a part of reduced physical function HOWEVER that in no way means that one need to have reduced sexual function. Advocating for the sexual rights and expression of people with disabilities has been the primary focus of Dr. Linda R. Mona’s career. She has worked in a variety of professional settings addressing the need for a deeper understanding of the sexual lives of people with disabilities. Specifically, she has assisted with increasing appropriate educational and clinical services available to people with disabilities seeking knowledge about ways of enhancing their sexual satisfaction. Infusing notions about disability into diversity education and training has also been one of Dr. Mona's career passions. She has worked on challenging traditional medical notions of disability and reframing this life experience from a multicultural lens to further understand the unique experience people with disabilities bring to any work and social context. Much of Dr. Mona’s work has been fueled by her own personal experience living with a disability and her understanding of the positive effects and the societal obstacles faced living with this diverse life experience. In fact, Dr. Mona was selected as one of the 2009 Working Mother's of the Year by Working Mother Magazine---an award not typically granted to a working mother with a disability. She attributes this accomplishment much to the changing views of disability as a rich diverse life experience. Linda R. Mona Ph.D. is a state of California Licensed Clinical Psychologist.

Olga Cohen went into full fledged menopause at the age of 43, as a new bride, complete with unpleasant mood swings and extreme hot flashes. She'd tried hormone replacement for ten years, but stopped after the bad press about the health complications associated with hormone replacement. She could not believe how, almost immediately, so many symptoms returned. Worse, she had a terrible new symptom: painful vaginal dryness. She started researching solutions for the problem, and she could not find anything in the market that offered long term results. Luckily, after decades in the cosmetics industry as the owner of a manufacturing company, she had knowledge and access to many natural ingredients. After having a conversation with Dr. Leo Galland, an intergrated medical doctor, she tried using GLA several times a week -- squeezing the oil directly into the vagina. It took about a month and then she started noticing a difference. The results were dramatic: a complete end to the dryness. When she visited her gynecologist, she could not believe it. Her gynecologist could actually see the difference. Olga knew that if she were having these problems, then there must be other women experiencing the same symptoms. And her gynecologist confirmed that acute dryness was one of the most common complaints she heard in her practice. They agreed it was vital to bring this treatment to other women. Since then, Olga has come to realize that painful vaginal dryness is not just caused by menopause, but can be the result of a wide variety of physical conditions. Dryness is also experienced by women who have just given birth, who have had a hysterectomy, or who are suffering from cancer or autoimmune disease. WITH THE HELP OF DR. MIRIAM GREENE AND DR. LEO GALLAND, Grohen Technologies has developed InnerIntimates™ Vaginal Renewal Complex. Vaginal Renewal Complex offers a safe and easy solution for vaginal dryness. As Olga says, " It’s my little secret that is helping countless women look, feel, and live better." Follow Olga on facebook @olgassecret.

I met Jodi and sister Jen at the International Lingerie Show in Las Vegas September, 11th. At any show I look for what's new that I can guide people to try.

The Chemistry Between Us attempts to do what no other book has done: present a grand unified theory of how love, sex, and human social bonding is created in our brains, how that creation drives our behavior, and to place these mechanisms into social, historical and even political contexts. Provocative, opinionated, and written with humor and insight for the lay reader, The Chemistry Between Us offers answers to some of the most tumultuous, joyous, heart-breaking, questions every one of us faces at some time in our lives, and asks us to consider the broader social impact of molecular events in our heads. What makes two people, strangers before meeting for the first time, conclude that they not only would like to, but must, spend the rest of their lives together? What could happen inside the brain of a sober, responsible, married man, a federal judge, to enable him to carry a loaded pistol while buying drugs for his stripper paramour? How could male violence relate to the brain chemistry of love? Why would a young woman, happily committed to her boyfriend, flirt with a jerk? What can the story of a young adoptee tell us about our current culture of parenting? What drives a mother to behave like a mother, and what does that have to do with human romantic love? How are grown men like babies? (Besides the whole whiny-with-the-flu thing.) What can we learn from rats that refuse to have sex unless they're wearing leather? What's the relationship between sexual fetish and love, and drug addiction and love? What is gender? Do brains have a gender? How can some people be attracted to others of the same sex? What causes a person with all the body parts of a man to insist he's a woman? Or a bodily female person to insist she's a man? Readers on the left and the right, people of all faiths, sexual orientations, and relationship status, are bound to find elements of The Chemistry Between Us that they'll object to fiercely, only to read on and find something to applaud. At the very least, readers will be fascinated, and likely to find themselves asking some serious, and some not-so-serious, questions about the world we're making and how that world might be affecting the very nature of human relationships.

My guest Tiffany York, Founder & CEO of Fixsation, did what any great entrepreneur does, she saw a need in the couples' intimacy market and took immediate action to create a solution. She wanted a non-insertive vibe made with all the right component parts that couples could use together during intercourse. Nothing to interrupt the connection, hands free no remotes just the two of them. Voila - The FIXSATION was born. Tiffany's dilemma was to address couple's reaching orgasm together. Not from a performance place but from an enjoyment place. Busy parents and working couples have their regular love making eclipsed by 'duties'. The Fixsation is a 1/2 inch thick ovoid disc shaped vibe, take your ring and index finger and make a slightly open circle, its silky smooth surface has ridges in just the right spots. Held in place by a very hot lace strap panty all you need to decide is which of the 5 vibe settings you prefer and the panty size. Charging is a user friendly UBS port. You and your partner can fixate on the sensation with him on top, you on top or any position that brings you together. The only limit to the fun factor is your imagination. One FixSation user swears by having him sitting on a chair and she straddles him facing and in 3-5 minutes they are both very happily taken care of.

Her show OFF THE RECORD last week about long term affairs had me reach out to host Judy Schriener. I hear about affairs and fooling around every day and sometimes they surface in a relationship and sometimes they don't. As an award winning business journalist, ever curious about how people think, she did research on why men cheat. She found that the reason men cheat isn't always a simple 1-2-3 formula of opportunity. She found there are as many reasons as there are individuals. eg) "I'm entitled to it I make all the money." So are there benefits to affairs? Does one fling lead to another? Do partners leave their relationships and marriages? We'll discuss female and male cheating, same thing or different? Does who makes the money impact cheating..I think so. Are there winners? Ashley Madison as a cultural touch stone. Judy's anecdotes will both entertain and educate you on the business world affair.

The Olympics epitomizes excellence in ideals in attitudes and in bodies. My guest Michele Cameron was Gold Medalist 1988 Seoul Synchronized Pairs and originally I wanted an insider's view on "So how much sex does go on at the Olympic Village?" Michelle's comment she didn't know she swam on the last day so was so focused she never even saw other athletes. Then I realized I wanted Michelle to share her story and how that Olympic passion and burn has fueled and been transformed into the drive behind creating her company Gold Medal Inspirations and her children's foundation, "A Gift of Love." We'll talk about the ups and downs and how the darkest often is just before a break through. Married to fellow Olympian Al Coulter and mom of four terrific children. www.goldmedalinspirations.com

The Sexual Positions and Attitudes of Fifty Shades - the best and how to make them yours. Anastaia and Christian are very active and you can get some ideas from them especially about their willingness to learn and expand what they don't know. Then my guest and colleague Emily Prior of the Center for Positive Sex will discuss the real Kink, BDSM lifestyle. 50 Shades got some things right and others not. BDSM/KINK 101 FYI Ana and Christian never had a true 'scene', they played. We'll discuss best resources, ideas, and techniques to get your kinky sex set and on its way for erotic power play. www.positivesexuality.org

The cultural impact of this trilogy has just started to surface. Movie, product lines, music CDs. In essence it is a love story, Harlequin Romance meets kinky sex. Honestly that doesn't give you the range of nuanced and in depth material EL James has packed into her books. I mean let's be serious I know the world of sexuality and I write books. This was a LOL highly enjoyable read for me, and one I almost didn't do. I thought 'Oh I can avoid reading it, nope couldn't happen. I have two projects and I need to KNOW what's in these books. Devotees expect it. What vanilla can learn from kink. What the BDSM world really is like. What is effective about how Ana and Christian communicate, their range of toys, the eroticism of power exchange play. The sub has all the power. Next week I'll go into depth about the positions and talk with Emily Prior of the Center for Positive Sexuality about the kink, BDSM world. Why people are captivated by it.

Women pursuing men…what women need to pay attention to (posture, eye-contact, etc.), chemistry, need vs want, etc. What do men really want?

Passive aggression a relationship spoiler avoid it!

So How Bright is Your Future in Sex? Betsy Crane Ph.D., Professor and former Director of Human Sexuality Graduate Program at Widener University, PA will discuss the explosive growth of people seeking graduate degrees in the field of sexuality. One of only two nationally accredited institutions, in the last five years the Widener Program has grown from 30 students to 100 entering in fall of 2012 making a student body of 200+ students. Who are these students and what are their career paths? What are they focused on and what knew bodies of research are they creating? What drives them to pursue this field. Medical schools aren't training doctors about human sexuality so these students may hold a key to better sexual health programs in institutions. We'll discuss research on gender roles and the bio/social/psych considerations that impact all studies and learning about sexuality.

Patti Britton,Ph.D., MPH, co-founder of Sex Coach University is a nationally board certified clinical sexologist and former President of AASECT the largest certifying group for the sexual health and therapy professionals.

Monogamy - Do You, Don't You? Whose definition do you use? A recent paper on monogamy by a biomathematician at U of Tennessee had me look at monogamy from a number of viewpoints.
