Only the language of touch
can fully express what we feel – during ecstatic moments of joy or
love, but also in moments of intense grief or fear. Carl Frankel (www.CarlFrankel.com)
returned to the program. Dr. Diana and Carl focused on his TOUCH
chapter written with Joseph Kramer in this amazing, informative book “Secrets of the Sex Masters.”
Our sense of touch is essential to our survival. The conversation
looked at how sensual discovery can be the goal! Sensuality is
characterized by full absorption in the moment-to-moment experience of
the senses. There are different sorts of touches: nurturing,
therapeutic, sensual and erotic – and the progression is important! Good
communication is mandatory. Carl Frankel is an intellectual – but he
also has high E.Q. Tune in for a fascinating program!

April Masini (www.AskApril.com)
and Dr. Diana enjoyed another provocative, informative discussion –
their first in 2016. The numbers alone confirm her popularity: the Ask April
advice column and interactive relationship advice forum is where almost
26 thousand questions have been posted and answered; she has 1.4
million Twitter followers and more than 620 thousand Facebook fans. The
conversation began with an article and April’s interview within it – “Staying hot for hubby is essential for a successful marriage.” This
created a firestorm of controversy! Some responding women said, “Men
should love women for who they are, as opposed to what they look like.”
Why does it have to be either or? Men are usually more visual. We
discussed the possibilities of being anti-feminist and perhaps old
fashioned. April did another interview with the Wall Street Journal regarding the male/female roles in dating and who should pay for dates. The pursuit of sex model
of dating is really what informs much of these dynamics. The
conversations extended to self-acceptance as well as love and power.
Tune-in for a fascinating 60 minutes!

Gail Scott, a certified Coach and speaker (www.GailScottInc.com)
returned to the program. Her father molestation created much trauma,
setting her on a journey for sexual healing. Important steps involved
learning about Tantric sexuality – exploring the body as a sacred
temple, and doing more for herself (speaking up, slowing down) as she
has continued to heal. Dr. Diana and Gail discussed how sex is the life
energy that flows through the body and its energy centers (chakras) –
heart, head, pelvis and so on. Partners can learn to channel this energy
and ride it to maximum pleasure! This is an inspiring conversation.
Tune in to learn more!

Marc Gilmartin (www.MarcGilmartin.com)
has a unique specialization: working with adult men with sexual abuse
histories, who may be erotically conflicted. The focus for this show was
on porn literacy. We discussed: why call it porn; is it
bad or good; is it sex education or entertainment; what does porn teach
us? Dr. Diana and Marc talked about all of this and more! Porn may be a
little like gun control – we should mainly be concerned with the state
of mind of the guy pulling the trigger. If a man is feeling turned on,
porn becomes a way of escaping from the relationship rather than just a
harmless way to blow off some sexual steam.
