Bradley Coates, Esq., author of “Divorce With Decency” — Nov. 18, 2014

divorcewithdecency4thedcover

Bradley Coates, Esq., (www.CoatesandFrey.com) returned to the program. He is the author of “DIVORCE with DECENCY” – 4th Edition. The focus of the show was a question in this book: IS MARRIAGE DEAD?  Every day in June about 13,000 American couples say “I do,” committing to a lifelong relationship of joy and love; except, of course, it doesn’t work out that way for most people. The majority of marriages fail, either ending in divorce and separation or devolving into bitterness and dysfunction. Brad Coates, heading up Hawaii’s largest divorce law firm, knows that the latter is true.  The stats, enumerated in his book are alarming: the 2010 Census revealed that married couples represented only 48% of all households. Furthermore, two-thirds of women file for divorce, dissatisfied with having to assume too much of the relationship responsibility – and more. Dr. Diana and Brad also discussed the Internet’s connectedness craze – as well as porn. Relationships are truly affected by these modern trends. On January 20, 2015 Brad will return to the show so that we can discuss the ingredients of a healthy and lasting relationship.

Joan Price, author of “Naked at Our Age” — Nov. 11, 2014

Naked at Our Age

FEMALE ORGASMS – they feel great, help you lose weight, are good for your health, and are free! Joan Price – www.JoanPrice.com – writes about this, among other sexual matters – in her books “Better Than I Expected – Straight Talk about Sex after Sixty,”  and “Naked at Our Age – Talking Out Loud About Senior Sex.”  Dr. Diana and Joan discussed orgasms at any age,  and the importance of practice – with oneself and with a partner. The more orgasms you have, the more orgasms you’re likely to have in the future! “The pleasure of living and the pleasure of the orgasm are identical. Extreme orgasm anxiety forms the basis of the general fear of life.” – Wilhelm Reich.  Dr. Reich’s idea led us into the center of letting go, possible fears, negative body image, and more. Joan Price’s idea of tracking the tingle, breathing, using fantasy, and sex toys were all examined. We need to move beyond compartmentalizing our sexual selves – reflected in Anna Freud’s observation, “Sex is something you do, sexuality is something you are…”   Orgasms help a lot with feeling sexiness in your body, mind, and spirit – so that our sexuality is more robust!

Lynn Brown Rosenberg, author of “My Sexual Awakening at 70″ — Nov. 4, 2014

SexualAwakening_ebookCover - Copy

Your sexual self – the unique blend of attitude, experience, and sensuality you bring to bed – is never fixed. Lynn Brown Rosenberg really knows about this concept because she wrote a memoir “My Sexual Awakening at 70” – www.LynnBrownRosenberg.com . Her mother and father were sexually repressed – and  passed along lots of sex negative messages. Emotional attachment in the family of origin establishes not only the ability to achieve a sense of connection but a degree of security in later relationships. Lynn overcame lots and has had many sexual adventures and personal insights as a result. She learned how to re-invent herself and powerful orgasms were a delightful by-product!

Secrets of the Sex Masters

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 Seattle-based 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.

Human Magnet Syndrome

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.

Dr. Stephanie Buehler, author of “Sex, Love, and Mental Illness” — Sept. 23, 2014

 

Stephanie Buehler -- Sex, Love and Mental Illness

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!
