Alexandra Solomon is a licensed psychologist, the author of two books — “Loving Bravely” and “Taking Sexy Back” — and the mother of two teenagers. Sexuality is something so inherent to our experience as humans, and yet we tip-toe around the subject so much in our society. Dr. Solomon works to destigmatize the topic of sex for as many people as possible and show that it is a healthy, natural part of our lives that — if we embrace it — leads to higher levels of connection between couples.
