Love, Lust, and Laughter - 03/05/13

Dr. Nancy Dreyfus brilliantly discussed her groundbreaking book in its 3^rd Edition: TALK TO ME LIKE I’M SOMEONE YOU LOVE. This last Edition was expanded to have a “Making Love” section with accompanying flash cards. The subtitle to her book is “Relationship Repair in a Flash” and these messages highlight the power of written messages to defuse tension – thereby going from “crazy” to “cozy.” One really helpful flash card is, “This feels awful. Can we start again and really listen to each other?”  No blame here, and the other is acknowledged. This is a gem of a show – and there’ll be a Part 2! Go to www.NancyDreyfus.com for more, really well-written information!

Love, Lust, and Laughter - Dr. Hernando Chaves - 01/29/13

Dr. Hernando Chaves (www.DrHernandoChaves.com) returned to the program. He is a Psychotherapist and Clinical Sexologist in Beverly Hills, California, often working with erotic minorities. He and Dr. Diana discussed BDSM, kinky, and fetishistic (especially cross-dressing) sexual behavior. The rules, the exact, open communication involved, for example in power play, are important to keep everything safe and fun – and not dangerous. (Another useful website iswww.FetLife.com).  “Fifty Shades of Grey” – often dubbed “Mommy Porn” – has opened lots more conversations about BDSM. At places like “The Pleasure Chest” classes are being taught. Listening to this show offers illumination in these areas!

Love, Lust, and Laughter - Nina Hartley - 02/12/13

Nina Hartley – (www.Nina.com) – has become one of the most endearing and recognizable performers in the adult industry. After 29 years she still shines! That’s because Nina has a natural enthusiasm for sex, and wants others to be sexually competent and confident. Her instructional line of videos are just that: educational and entertaining!  Sex should be fun!  Nina gives many suggestions for folks still in the process of exploring…being more self-accepting about their sexuality. The porn debate was examined as well. Tune-in for a most provocative show!

Love, Lust, and Laughter - Dr. Stella Resnick - 02/05/13

Just in time for Valentine’s Day, Dr. Stella Resnick (www.DrStellaResnick.com) returns to Love, Lust, and Laughter to discuss romance! This is part of the human mating dance, very important to the sex drive. Play is essential – often inspired by present-centered Gestalt games for couples, described in her second book “THE HEART of DESIRE – Keys to the Pleasures of Love.” She writes, “Playfulness is one of the great ways to stay engaged and attentive.” Feelings of love can kill libido and Dr. Stella calls this the love-lust dilemma. Dr. Diana and her guest discussed solutions – ways to pave the romantic road for really good loving!

Love, Lust, and Laughter - Brandon Maxwell - 01/29/13

Brandon Maxwell returned to the program. He is a brilliant filmmaker, and his “Maxwell Multiple Climax” (www.ClimaxWell.com) will help any man with rapid ejaculation – or a man wanting to achieve multiple orgasms! Dr. Diana spoke with Brandon about the EVOLUTION of EARLY CLIMAX: the biological imperative for primal man; the factors for early women (& women today) in choosing a mate; the role of anxiety, and solutions. Sometimes a man’s private battle with his penis doesn’t include much kindness.  So, patience, love and education is necessary!

Love, Lust, and Laughter - Yoga and Sexuality - 01/15/13

In the tantric-yoga tradition, sex is the life energy that flows through the body and its energy centers (chakras) – heart, head, pelvis and so on.  Dr. Diana spoke with David and Rebecca about yoga and sexuality – as well as about their experience being filmed by the SINCLAIR INSTITUTE for the recent DVDs “12 Ways to Boost your Libido” and “10 Ways to go Longer and Stronger.”  This very enlightened, articulate couple gave tips about the benefits of tantra/yoga -- including focus on the woman’s well-being, sometimes called the Goddess array.  Dr. Diana’s lover says it well, “Worship your woman and the Goddess will reward you!”  Breathing, energy orgasms, the yoni massage, and delayed ejaculation were some of the topics covered.  By performing in the SINCLAIR videos, David and Rebecca have helped others.  You, too, will be helped by listening to this show!  Tomorrow, Dr. Diana and her guests will be on a free SINCLAIR webinar, 7-8 EST.  Go to www.BetterSex.com for the details.
