Hey podcast listeners! No new conversation this week, but an update about what's coming next week and beyond! Also, I share a quick story about a man who decided to keep track of the lack of sex with his wife…on a spreadsheet. That’s not a good idea.

On part 2 of my conversation with Mark and Patricia, we pick up where we left off with the 10 Myths of a Good Relationship.  We touch on "Helicopter Parents," a little more on Novelist Ayelet Waldmen and her comment that she loves her husband more than her kids and I make our erotic life together a priority," as well as "Eye-Gazing" and how that helps you get in tune with one another and we wrap up with sex-positivity vs. sex-negativity.

In the first part of my conversation with Mark and Patricia, I asked what they hoped people would come away with from their book.

I hope it empowers people to take on relationships and design them to become what works for themselves. -Patricia

How to engage sexually….We’re not advocating one way of being (in a relationship) is superior to another. -Mark

We talk about how romantic, emotional bonds and erotic bonds are being pigeonholed into one thing. We also touch on 9 of their 10 Myths about “Good Relationships.”

Happy Anniversary to us! Thank you for listening and sharing the podcast with others. I have a quick story to share and some thoughts and feelings about the last two years. Happy (Belated) Fourth of July and let's have a great third year together talking about sex.

Just a couple of "sex stories gone bad" and some follow up questions with my guest from last week, Paul.RespectProtectGet Tested

Paul tells me how his mother didn't talk to him for two weeks after he came out to her because she thought it was her fault somehow. His first sexual experience with a man turned out to be a close friend of his from high school who emailed him anonymously to gauge his interest in having a gay experience. We also talk about his "whore phase" and then we finish by talking about HIV and communication.

I give my comments on an article I found called "10 Good Reasons To Save Sex Until Marriage".

I invite you to listen and then get ahold of me and give me your thoughts. Tell me if you think I'm wrong on any of this. I would love to hear from you.

Just a couple of funny (slightly embarrassing?) stories to share on Memorial Day 2014. It's short and quick and I hope you get a chuckle or two.Talk to you next week!

Candice and I talk about her first book, "From 6 to 9 and Beyond: Widening the Lens of Feminine Eroticism", but we also get personal. Candice believes that "anorexia is a fear not just of food, but of pleasure and of sex." We also talk about orgasmic meditation. She thinks of orgasm as "the living, breathing, creative life force that creates every moment."  You're going to really enjoy this conversation.Pre-order your copy of her book atfrom6to9andbeyond.comFollow her blog attheorgasmiclife.comFor life + sex coaching, you can find her atcandiceholdorfcoaching.com

Nicholas grew up in a large Catholic family and wound up experimenting with sex at a very early age. We talk about his short and ill-fated marriage to a narcissist, how therapy helped him and we even get into threesomes and his favorite outdoor sexual experience.
