The most common question I get isn’t about sex. The most common question I get is how the heck did I become a sex therapist. Well, I had known for 20 years that I wanted to work with people who had been sexually, physically and emotionally abused. To keep a very long story short, that [...]

While I was flying yesterday there was an adorable 8 month old boy sitting in front of me next to his father. During the three hour flight I couldn’t help but notice that pop never once touched his son. Dad’s lack of nurturing bothered me however it would have greatly disturbed the late Dr. Harry [...]
Sex in Canada, eh?

I’m on my way home from Canada and I can’t help but compare and contrast differences between sexuality in the US and Canada, eh? The simple answer is the US is much more prudish and repressive. For example, in some US states it is illegal to sell sex toys and in other states we teach [...]

I conducted a workshop for couples in Nova Scotia this week and am on my way back to Colorado. While wrapping things up in Halifax I ran across this pastry shop on the wharf and couldn’t resist taking a photo. It seems wrong to post the photo. On the other hand it seemed wrong not to post it. Afterall, my life is dedicated to pastry. [...]

Actor David Carradine died this week reportedly from accidental auto-erotic asphyxiation while masturbating. The intention is to reduce blood flow to the brain and therefore increase the intensity of orgasm. In my professional oppinion, the sense of euphoria tends to diminish if you die first! Carradine, who initially became famous for his role as Kung Fu couldn’t escape [...]

Freud may have had his couch, but I have my clock that says “No Sex Until After 9”. Therapy is serious work but that doesn’t mean we can’t have some fun along the way. For me, the clock in my office is symbolic of my philosophy to take our work seriously, but take ourselves lightly. [...]

I heard a colleague yesterday discussing a case where he viewed the marriage as “beyond hope.” Ugh! I come at my work from the perspective of a strength based couples counselor. As such, in my eyes relationships are never beyond repair and I don’t allow that thought to even enter my head. Couples in pain are coming [...]

I’m fortunate to have people from around the world follow my blog. Unfortunately I have been lax in my postings recently so please forgive me. If you could see my desk at home you would understand. It is piled high with everything from stacks of mail, to sex education videos, to 500 samples of clitoral stimulants, to vibrating [...]
