The Hunger Games of Adult Sex Lives
The most common question I am asked is how I got into doing my work. People tend to find it fascinating, and truly, it is. I know people intimately in a way that few others do. I have very tender conversations with people about their sexuality and their sex lives and their fears in their […]
When Your Sexual Energy is Blocked
We all have a bowl inside us, a well, a deep gorge of energy that is our core sexual energy. For many people, that energy is buried deep, smothered, depleted, seemingly inaccessible. For others, it is alive, vibrant, flowing and rich. No matter the state of your sexual well, you’ve got one. If you feel […]

Sex and the Scared Little One

I’m Coming Out Poly

I find it so interesting that a president who actually pushed the bounds of sexuality in daring to be a sexual […]
