Okay, now I finished the book so I feel qualified to give it bona fide “thumbs down.” Maybe if the title of the book had been “A book about why we hate porn, why all porn in all situations is bad and why we think it is the root of anything bad in a relationship,” …
Continue ReadingTelling other people what to do…
I just started a new book, The Porn Trap. It’s making me really pissed off. Basically it starts out by saying that porn is addictive and harmful, just like drugs and alchohol. Keep away from it. It’s bad for you. I haven’t read the whole book yet and I don’t like passing judgement on things I …
Continue ReadingAm I normal?!
This question gets asked to me more than any other. Am I normal? I hate oral sex. Am I normal? I LOVE oral sex more than anything. Am I normal? I don’t have orgasms from intercourse. Am I normal? I can only have orgasms from intercourse. Am I normal? I fantasize about women even though …
Continue ReadingMonogamy.
So we’re back to monogamy again…someone said to me recently that they are afraid of committing to one person for the rest of their life and I got to thinking about all the studies that say that people with one steady partner overall rate their sexual satisfaction higher than those who don’t have one. So …
Continue ReadingI love teenagers!
I just went into a high school to give their 1.5 hours of sex ed. Truthfully, I think we covered the basics and I try to remember that there are only so many take-away messages that anyone can handle at any given moment. But what I love about talking to teens is that once they …

Continue Reading“Bonk.”
I just started reading (what looks like it’s going to be) a fabulous book. Bonk. The curious coupling of science and sex. Mary Roach, the author is fascinated by the study of sex and covers it all here from the prosaic to the truly bizarre. And the chick has a great sense of humor! Likely, …
Continue ReadingYelling at the TV set!
I don’t have television. That is, I have the unit so I can watch DVDs but I don’t have any TV hook-up. This allows me to avoid watching hours and hours of TV which I am not interested in but probably would do if I had all of the channels and could avoid doing everything …
Continue ReadingWho’s hot and who’s not.
After nearly 9 years in practice there are some things I can say fairly absolutely. Here’s one: there is absolutely no correlation between looking sexy and being sexy! I can have a woman in my office who any guy would say “oh mg-d she looks soooooo hot…like she’s really into it.” (It may be her …
Continue ReadingThe bad idea bears…vaginal reconstructive surgery.
If you have seen the Broadway show Avenue Q (or its equivalent somewhere else), you’ll get the reference. (It’s a terrific show by the way and I highly recommend it, but it’s very explicit! As a matter of fact my 18 year old son — with whom I’ve had a number of extremely explicit conversations …
