Dr. Diana Wiley will give a presentation on “Intimacy, Sexuality & Aging” at the Victoria Centre (Victoria BC) on Friday, March 6, 2015 at 1:00 pm.  She offers straight talk on sex after 60 and will explore attitudes, myths, and advantages of mature sex.  This presentation is sponsored by Silver Threads Service, a non-profit organization in Victoria BC that address the social, health, activity, intellectual, and information needs of seniors and provide essential connections.

Dr. Patti Britton, a nationally board-certified clinical sexologist and world renown sex coach, is the author of hundreds of articles and four amazing books. (www.DrPattiBritton.com). Dr. Robert Dunlap is a seasoned media expert, with appearances in over 400 commercials, and in print, film and television. He is also the filmmaker of “Beyond Vanilla” and “Xaviera Hollander: The Happy Hooker.” As a clinical sexologist with a specialization in BDSM/kink and fetish populations, he and his partner Dr. Patti were perfectly poised to discuss “Fifty Shades of Grey.” Because they were so disappointed in the film, for them it was retitled “Fifty Shades of Lame.” The Doctors Diana, Patti and Robert discussed the film and its possible (dangerous) sexual ramifications. Dr. Patti & Robert continue to run SAR’s (Sexual Attitude Reassessment) in this country and internationally – with the next one being held in Poland. (www.SexCoachU.com) Their weekly radio show is called The Boom Doctors (www.TheBoomDoctors.com). No matter your age, they serve as role models for sex-positivity, sexual empowerment, sexual health and sexual success. Dr. Patti’s credo is “Celebrate your sexual self!” Indeed, that’s what “Love, Lust, and Laughter” is all about!

THE OTHER WOMAN – she might be history’s most reviled female, or the most misunderstood.  Dr. Ginger Swanson’s research helps us understand the dynamics of the triadic relationship from the other woman’s point of view.  (www.GingerSwanson.com)  Dr. Ginger’s motivation and inspiration to delve into this topic was from her personal experience as the other woman. The research helped with her own healing, opening the floodgates of compassion for anyone involved. She explored The Other Woman through 100 years of film…deception, the Hays Code, Forbidden Hollywood Films.  Dr. Diana and Dr. Ginger also discussed Sabina Spielrein who was the other woman in Carl Jung’s life – and Anais Nin, a very sexual woman in Henry Miller’s life. Listen to this program for fascinating information – perhaps leading to a more enlightened point of view!

Carl Frankel is a writer, entrepreneur and the managing director of Sheri Winston’s Center for the Intimate Arts. Dr. Diana and Carl discussed one of his books “Love and the More Perfect Union.” In this book Carl creatively combines established principles of relationship happiness with original and useful maps and models. His acronym for intimate relationships is A-C-E for autonomy, connection and equity. Do you like yourself when you’re not around your partner? If you can bring your whole, imperfect human self to the relationship and feel safe, seen, heard and known, those are good indications you’re in the right place. What is the Continuum of Connection and how does it affect relationships?  What are some of the main sources of relationship unhappiness?  These questions and more were discussed. Carl (www.CarlFrankel.com) will return to this program January 27, 2015. Please tune-in for more fascinating talk!

It’s that time of year again, when Americans baste turkeys, bake pies, and give thanks. Do you have an attitude of gratitude? My guest Dr. Richard Wagner certainly does! A former Catholic Priest and current sexologist, his views are spiritual, wise, and extremely insightful. Last year on November 5th and the 12th, we discussed his book The Amateur’s Guide to Death and Dying: Enhancing the End of Life. (Please visit the archives to hear these shows.) His more recent book is The Gospel of Kink. First we discussed the rituals for love – where a heart-felt “thank you” can be more meaningful than “I love you.” It very likely this will raise the other up – and get us out of our egos at the same time. Many relationships die from emotional undernourishment. People forget to say what they value and appreciate about their partner. Speak up! It creates good feelings, which draws us closer. The second part of the program explored BDSM aftercare. It turns out that BDSM folks prioritize sex, make time for it, accept their sexuality, and communicate openly with their partner. Dr. Wagner discusses power play where partners talk clearly about sexual parameters, limits, safe words and the like. The aftercare piece is when the partners can embrace and say thank you…It can be the transition from the personality in the scene to the day-to-day personality. There is so much more!  Please listen. Happy Thanksgiving!
