A recent survey revealed that 38% of respondents in the U.S. said they would give up sex for a year if they could go on a trip. But what if you could go on a COVID-safer trip to sunny Jamaica where sex, sensuality, and pleasure form the centerpiece of the resort’s appeal? Dr. Diana’s guest on this episode, Dr. Nancy Sutton Pierce, has just returned from that resort, Hedonism. (By the way, hedonism is defined as “the pursuit of pleasure, sensual self-indulgence.”) This is Dr. Nancy’s fifteenth year as an ambassador, a teacher for these exotic lifestyle retreats. Hedonism is a place where you can be as mild or as wild as you like!

Dr. Nancy says your intimate relationship should feel like an oasis—a safe place where you can be heard and valued. This is what she teaches in her classes for couples. Many see it as a marriage reboot, a renewal. Dr. Diana spoke about laughter and play, which she also discusses in her book Love in the Time of Corona: Advice From a Sex Therapist for Couples in Quarantine. Yes, sex is play! The Hedonism environment encourages playfulness. A singles event is coming up in June. If you have questions about Hedonism, Dr. Nancy offers an Adult Travel Concierge Service at (530) 638-0221 (or if you book directly, use this link: http://www.hedonism.com/?aff=R3687096). Different weeks have different themes and events, and she will guide you. Dr. Nancy offers good guidance about relationships and sex … always.
