Love, Lust, and Laughter

Love, Lust, and Laughter - Lou Paget - 06/25/13

Once again Lou Paget, the author of five books – www.LouPaget.com – was the guest. She delivers information about sexuality and relationships with accuracy and fun! The topic for this program: Sex in the News – Who got it Right? Wrong? and Are you kidding me??? Here’s an overview…Mormon mom who fought for Prop 8, now fights for her gay son; Michael Douglas saying he got oral cancer from cunnilingus; the HPV vaccine controversy; the collapse of Exodus International, the organization that claimed through Reparative Therapy people could be “cured” of homosexuality - (a Christian caller, Amy, had insightful comments and suggested a website www.GayChristian.net); and a female director has been hired to direct the movie “Fifty Shades of Grey” – and why her gender is important for this love story.

Love, Lust, and Laughter - Dr. Nancy Dreyfus - 06/18/13

Dr. Nancy Dreyfus, author of the groundbreaking book “TALK TO ME LIKE I’M SOMEONE YOU LOVE,” returned to the program for the third time. The theme: NO “BODY” TO LOVE…SEX AND BODY IMAGE. She spoke of her own spiritual journey in coming to terms with vaginal pain and how she presented the news to the men in her life…a real example of the dictum that people treat you as you treat yourself…Dr. Nancy shared, ”The more comfortably and less apologetically I presented my condition, the more receptive and responsive have been my lovers.” Dr. Diana asked how does a woman’s image of her body affect her sexuality, and her relationship with her partner. She may lose her sensitivity to her partner…such preoccupation with one’s own anatomy may represent a self-defeating form of sexual narcissism. In order to love another, it’s important to respect his choice of you as a worthy lover. Have the conversation, woman to man: this is my shame, my unattractive features. He recognizes her vulnerability, does not necessarily give assurance, and says, “Thank you.”
