Love, Lust, and Laughter

Love Lust And Laughter - 10/28/14

This is Part 2 with Sheri Winston author of “Succulent Sex Craft” – www.SucculentSexCraft.com, and this time she is joined by her life and business partner Carl Frankel author of “Secrets of the Sex Masters.”  As two sex masters themselves, they are perfectly positioned to address this question: How do you keep a thriving, exciting sex life? They dispel the myth that great sex is just supposed to happen naturally; indeed, it takes practice and consciousness. The most inspiring sex is often a result of good technique, great set and setting, playfulness, a lengthy time period – but most importantly a lover who is fully present with you! The key to ecstatic sex is the ability to stay relaxed and aware in high states of sexual arousal…relaxing into the excitement, letting it spread throughout your body. Sheri and Carl recommend breathing exercises (outlined in their books), and getting out of one’s head and into one’s body. Expanded orgasms for women and for men were discussed – as well as solo sex sessions. These enlightened guests – high in sexual intelligence – encourage you  to become a clear channel about sex in order to fully claim your erotic birthright!  This is a program where you will want to take notes!

Dr. Tami Meraglia, M.D. (www.DrTami.com and www.VitalityMediSpa.net) is a double board certified physician in Aesthetic Medicine, and integrative & Natural Medicine. Her passion, experience and intelligence for her field shone in the interview with Dr. Diana. Early next year her book “The Hormone Secrets” will be published. By going to her website, you can see her FOX NEWS appearance where she interpreted a study focusing on physical attractiveness and health…Dr. Tami commented that, among other things, these folks often have less stress and thus less inflammation. Also on Dr. Tami’s website is a HORMONE QUIZ. Hormones are messengers that relay communication between the brain and the body. Based on the results of this quiz – as well as  blood tests – this inspired doc can prescribe bio-identical hormones and more. She even does telemedicine – talking with patients in other countries. Dr. Tami and Dr. Diana discussed stress, and how to turn on the relaxation response. Hormone replacement therapy and managing stress goes a long way to improving many sex lives. When sex goes well it accounts for 15% of a marriage; but when sex is bad, it’s 85%. You will learn a lot! Please listen.

What you don’t know about genitals may surprise you! With Sheri Winston we discovered the less known and poorly understood parts of female anatomy, including the female erectile network. All is detailed in Sheri’s most recent book “Succulent Sex Craft” – www.SucculentSexCraft.com.  She is a renowned sexuality teacher as well as a student of esoteric erotic arts. She was a certified nurse-midwife and gynecology practitioner.  Sheri emphasizes WHOLISTIC SEXUALITY – an approach which integrates modern science, ancient traditions, biology, anatomy, and spirituality. Dr. Diana and Sheri spoke about her wholistic approach which motivated her comprehensive learning journey – as well as the female erectile network, and clitoral/vaginal orgasms. She’ll return in two weeks for more illuminating discussions!

Joan Price is a senior sexpert and has been dubbed a “wrinkly sex kitten”!  www.JoanPrice.com  Her books include “Better Than I Ever Expected – Straight Talk about Sex after Sixty,” and “Naked at Our Age – Talking Out Loud About Senior Sex.” “Ageless Erotica” is a book she edited – and is it ever a sexy, steamy book! Here’s a quote: “Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art.” Joan and Dr. Diana spoke about her books – and how aging brings advantages to sexuality and sexual communication. Love and sex need not go stale with time, but like a successful garden, it needs plenty of attention. We also focused on one of her Chapters: DWO – Dating While Older. While this program is intended for everyone looking for love – whatever your age, background, dating history, sexual preferences or intentions – the focus of our discussion was for 50-plus folks. Please tune in…You’ll be inspired!

Ross Rosenberg truly understands the attractors of love and consequent suffering – i.e., how giving, selfless individuals (codependents) are often drawn to self-centered, controlling partners (emotional, narcissistic manipulators). This is reflected in his book ”The Human Magnet Syndrome: Why We Love People Who Hurt Us, Emotional Manipulators, Codependents and Dysfunctional Relationships.”  There are 4 Stages of Codependency Recovery, and feelings of shame, loneliness play their roles…even sex addiction. To find out more, listen to the program, and go to his website www.TheHumanMagnetSyndrome.com. Buy his book because it is filled with wise and practical information!

Sexual abuse…sexual assault…these are difficult topics. Most of us have sexual wounds. For this program we have one of the best sexual experts – consider it a consultation with Dr. Stephanie Buehler (www.TheBuehlerInstitute.com). Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Diana discussed how sexual abuse affects adults; for example, at the time of the molestation a girl may feel pleasure (we are hard-wired for it) – but it is often mixed with other feelings such as disgust, anger, fear, and confusion. In therapy the client gets to sort out what happened, why they’re having the reactions they’re having, and what their triggers might be. If the victim can tell someone immediately what happened, if she is believed, and if the person she tells is supportive and affirms she did not cause the abuse – the outcome may be less traumatic. What about the partner? Most have deep feelings of outrage, shame, and guilt to work out. Sensual loveplay, especially massage, may be ideal before she is ready for lovemaking. For some men it may be difficult to stop at the sensual without becoming sexual. Appreciating sensuality apart from sexuality is a crucial ingredient of problem-free lovemaking! It is important to seek help as soon as possible (from a trained therapist) so that potential opportunities for pleasure and intimacy can be fulfilled!

Dr. Dudley Danoff, world renowned urologist, founder and President of Cedars-Sinai Tower Urology in Los Angeles, returned to the program to further unzip the secrets  of male sexual health and power. His book PENIS POWER – The Ultimate Guide to Male Sexual Health – www.PenisPowerBook.com – banishes stress from the bedroom and makes sex fun again! Dr. Danoff and Dr. Diana took a long, hard look at the wonderful world of penises. They covered many topics – including sex and the brain; the superpotent man; ED in a younger man; PE and performance anxiety; the “suck job” and why it helps a man with arousal; prostate cancer and interventions post surgery for men still experiencing incontinence and impotence. Many facts of our lives can’t be changed – your penis is what it is…but, it’s never too late to change your sexual story. Take charge of it, using facts to create something you like. Re the latter, get Dr. Danoff’s book!

Love Lust and Laughter - Ross Rosenberg - 08/26/14

Ross Rosenberg and Dr. Diana spoke about codependents and emotional manipulators – otherwise known as narcissists. His book “The Human Magnet Syndrome: Why We Love People Who Hurt Us” describes these dynamics in detail.  www.TheHumanMagnetSyndrome.com  Love, sex and relationships can go sideways because giving, selfless individuals (codependents) are often drawn to self-centered, controlling partners (emotional manipulators). Perhaps one of the saddest aspects of these “magnetic” connections is that it acts as a barrier to true pleasure in nearly every area of life. 

Love Lust and Laughter - Dr. Stephanie Buehler - 08/19/14

Dr. Stephanie Buehler (www.TheBuehlerInstitute.com) is an internationally recognized expert in sex and relationship therapy. Through the media, including articles to educate on making sex lives better, Dr. B. addresses common problems like mismatched desire or difficult problems like sexual pain. The latter was the focus for this program. Both Dr. Stephanie and Dr. Diana have experience with female clients expressing similar themes: unconsummated relationships on the verge of unraveling, fears about bearing children, and feelings of pain, shame, and confusion associated with sexual pain. Both doctors explored these questions: Are there conditions that cause sexual pain? How do these problems affect a woman and her relationship? How is the male partner specifically affected? What are treatments for sexual pain? Since Dr. Stephanie also deals with sex and cancer, there was some discussion about this complicated arena. In our culture, sexual pleasure can have dangerous overtones. It may be the first thing we toss overboard during life’s various storms. We may need to remember that our sexuality is at our core…as important as the need to eat and breathe!   

Love Lust and Laughter - April Masini - 07/29/14

April Masini – www.AskApril.com – returned to the program. April is an advice columnist where over 20,000 original relationship questions have been posted and answered. She is also an author: “Date Out of Your League” for men; “Think & Date Like a Man,” for women; “50 First Dates”; and “The Next 50 Dates.” Because she gets many questions from singles, April and Dr. Diana focused on some of their issues. For example, How do I get out of the “friend zone”? Her piece for YAHOO Personals “Why Nice Guys Finish Last” was referenced…The nice guy may care too much, too soon. The woman is not going to value him anymore than he values himself. Online dating, its ups and its downs were examined – along with tips for improving the process! If there is too much emotional baggage of fear, anxiety or mental conflicts, it is clear: online dating does not heal emotional pains. Psychotherapy may be necessary. Look for someone who has already done some inner work. April and Dr. Diana agreed that seeking a mate whose values and background echo your own is wise. April will return soon!
