About The Killer Wore Leather: Cormac “Mack” Steel, Mr Global Leather, has been murdered at this year’s BDSM/fetish weekend in New York City. He was found dead on the floor of his Manhattan suite wearing only a pair of frilly, yellow panties. And the suspects who could have killed him number in the thousands. Detective Rebecca Feldblum has worked murder cases before, but none quite so exotic as this one. Suddenly trapped in a world of leather and latex, masters and slaves, pups and trainers, Rebecca has only a weekend to find who killed Mack Steel—and although she doesn’t know it, she’ll discover more about the kink underworld, and herself, than she could ever anticipate. A deliciously tongue-in-cheek murder mystery, The Killer Wore Leather is a strapping invitation for readers to join Rebecca as she explores the private, erotic world of BDSM personalities and leather kinks in search of a murderer. With biting humor and keen insight, popular erotica author Laura Antoniou creates the kinkiest game of Clue wort

Around Valentine's Day I have seen many long term relationships come apart, seems people take a closer look at their relationship and if it is really supporting them. In the last week I had 2 people one end a relationship after 37 years the other 22 years. In speaking with these people they have MANY questions about online dating. My twin sister Dede and I will discuss examples of good, funny, 'you didn't' examples people have shared with us so you the listener can have an at home course on how to prepare yourself and your presentation your profile so you can have more more fun with online connections.

We have tons of material, research and awareness about the Female G Spot and finally the Male G Spot is getting its spotlight. The Ultimate Guide to Prostate Pleasure - finally a plain speaking, solid sex education book for Prostate Pleasure. As two top Sex Educators, Charlie Glickman PhD and Aislinn Emirzian have put together an easy reading book on a subject that is equal parts prostate health and powerful sexual pleasure. Charlie, Aislinn and I will debunk myths, (You are not secretly gay if you like this type of pleasure!!!) and answer the most commonly asked 'wrong' questions and deliver for women and men the potential of Prostate Pleasure. Men are more aware of their need for a PSA test yet few are aware that Prostate health and pleasure are closely aligned. The Bend Over Boyfriend video series opened a new awareness that straight men enjoy penetrative play with their female partners. I know the sales numbers of hetero strap-on products with just one company were astronomical!!! Charlie can be f

This week's Assignment - 1) List Your Heroes. 2) Explain why you are grateful they are in your life. 3) What are the gifts you are giving forward from them? Last week Amy Byer who handles my social media asked me to consider writing out a list of who my heroes are. That had my brain start sorting and shifting on who is a hero and how does one become someone's hero? As I started my list it surprised me what the themes were. Then today one the English speaking world's top motivational speakers Zig Zigler died and for anyone who is a student of motivation and personal development he is a godfather to the field. It had me look at why did I chose particular people. Lord knows here in California we have ALL kinds of motivational speakers and yet I have found many of them do not walk their talk. I'll talk about those that have supported my career and my life's journey.

My guest this evening is Sandra Daugherty. http://sexnerdsandra.com A passionate sex educator based in Los Angeles, her irreverent humor and quirky love for details has given rise to her moniker, Sex Nerd Sandra. So how does one become a sex nerd and what does a sex nerd do??? We'll cover all those details and how Sandra started in the field. Just as there is a range of sexual appetites and desires there is a growing variety and range of sex educators devoloping to match those varying populations.

Dr.Linda Mona is a cherished colleague in our mutual field of sexual health. Truly she is my go-to person about sexuality and disability. From panels and hands on breakout sessions for severly injured OEF and OIF soldiers to Disability Conferences to "LInda what's new ?' Linda is my go-to girl. So let's jump into what is the definition of a disability: can be a range of things from someone with a bad hip, to chronic arthritis issues, sight impairments, respiratory issues, mobility issues they are all a part of reduced physical function HOWEVER that in no way means that one need to have reduced sexual function. Advocating for the sexual rights and expression of people with disabilities has been the primary focus of Dr. Linda R. Mona’s career. She has worked in a variety of professional settings addressing the need for a deeper understanding of the sexual lives of people with disabilities. Specifically, she has assisted with increasing appropriate educational and clinical services available to people with

Olga Cohen went into full fledged menopause at the age of 43, as a new bride, complete with unpleasant mood swings and extreme hot flashes. She'd tried hormone replacement for ten years, but stopped after the bad press about the health complications associated with hormone replacement. She could not believe how, almost immediately, so many symptoms returned. Worse, she had a terrible new symptom: painful vaginal dryness. She started researching solutions for the problem, and she could not find anything in the market that offered long term results. Luckily, after decades in the cosmetics industry as the owner of a manufacturing company, she had knowledge and access to many natural ingredients. After having a conversation with Dr. Leo Galland, an intergrated medical doctor, she tried using GLA several times a week -- squeezing the oil directly into the vagina. It took about a month and then she started noticing a difference. The results were dramatic: a complete end to the dryness. When she visited her gynec

I met Jodi and sister Jen at the International Lingerie Show in Las Vegas September, 11th. At any show I look for what's new that I can guide people to try. 'Do It Naturally" is there two companies attitude and they walk their talk. Good, non-toxic, sex products are rare especially in the crowded market segment of lubricants and body lotions.

The Chemistry Between Us attempts to do what no other book has done: present a grand unified theory of how love, sex, and human social bonding is created in our brains, how that creation drives our behavior, and to place these mechanisms into social, historical and even political contexts. Provocative, opinionated, and written with humor and insight for the lay reader, The Chemistry Between Us offers answers to some of the most tumultuous, joyous, heart-breaking, questions every one of us faces at some time in our lives, and asks us to consider the broader social impact of molecular events in our heads. What makes two people, strangers before meeting for the first time, conclude that they not only would like to, but must, spend the rest of their lives together? What could happen inside the brain of a sober, responsible, married man, a federal judge, to enable him to carry a loaded pistol while buying drugs for his stripper paramour? How could male violence relate to the brain chemistry of love? Why would a

My guest Tiffany York, Founder & CEO of Fixsation, did what any great entrepreneur does, she saw a need in the couples' intimacy market and took immediate action to create a solution. She wanted a non-insertive vibe made with all the right component parts that couples could use together during intercourse. Nothing to interrupt the connection, hands free no remotes just the two of them. Voila - The FIXSATION was born. Tiffany's dilemma was to address couple's reaching orgasm together. Not from a performance place but from an enjoyment place. Busy parents and working couples have their regular love making eclipsed by 'duties'. The Fixsation is a 1/2 inch thick ovoid disc shaped vibe, take your ring and index finger and make a slightly open circle, its silky smooth surface has ridges in just the right spots. Held in place by a very hot lace strap panty all you need to decide is which of the 5 vibe settings you prefer and the panty size. Charging is a user friendly UBS port. You and your partner can f

Her show OFF THE RECORD last week about long term affairs had me reach out to host Judy Schriener. I hear about affairs and fooling around every day and sometimes they surface in a relationship and sometimes they don't. As an award winning business journalist, ever curious about how people think, she did research on why men cheat. She found that the reason men cheat isn't always a simple 1-2-3 formula of opportunity. She found there are as many reasons as there are individuals. eg) "I'm entitled to it I make all the money." So are there benefits to affairs? Does one fling lead to another? Do partners leave their relationships and marriages? We'll discuss female and male cheating, same thing or different? Does who makes the money impact cheating..I think so. Are there winners? Ashley Madison as a cultural touch stone. Judy's anecdotes will both entertain and educate you on the business world affair.

The Olympics epitomizes excellence in ideals in attitudes and in bodies. My guest Michele Cameron was Gold Medalist 1988 Seoul Synchronized Pairs and originally I wanted an insider's view on "So how much sex does go on at the Olympic Village?" Michelle's comment she didn't know she swam on the last day so was so focused she never even saw other athletes. Then I realized I wanted Michelle to share her story and how that Olympic passion and burn has fueled and been transformed into the drive behind creating her company Gold Medal Inspirations and her children's foundation, "A Gift of Love." We'll talk about the ups and downs and how the darkest often is just before a break through. Married to fellow Olympian Al Coulter and mom of four terrific children. www.goldmedalinspirations.com

The Sexual Positions and Attitudes of Fifty Shades - the best and how to make them yours. Anastaia and Christian are very active and you can get some ideas from them especially about their willingness to learn and expand what they don't know. Then my guest and colleague Emily Prior of the Center for Positive Sex will discuss the real Kink, BDSM lifestyle. 50 Shades got some things right and others not. BDSM/KINK 101 FYI Ana and Christian never had a true 'scene', they played. We'll discuss best resources, ideas, and techniques to get your kinky sex set and on its way for erotic power play. www.positivesexuality.org

The cultural impact of this trilogy has just started to surface. Movie, product lines, music CDs. In essence it is a love story, Harlequin Romance meets kinky sex. Honestly that doesn't give you the range of nuanced and in depth material EL James has packed into her books. I mean let's be serious I know the world of sexuality and I write books. This was a LOL highly enjoyable read for me, and one I almost didn't do. I thought 'Oh I can avoid reading it, nope couldn't happen. I have two projects and I need to KNOW what's in these books. Devotees expect it. What vanilla can learn from kink. What the BDSM world really is like. What is effective about how Ana and Christian communicate, their range of toys, the eroticism of power exchange play. The sub has all the power. Next week I'll go into depth about the positions and talk with Emily Prior of the Center for Positive Sexuality about the kink, BDSM world. Why people are captivated by it.
