Betty Dodson with Carlin Ross
Better Orgasms. Better World.
My latest client wrote me an email the other day. It struck me, so I asked her permission to include excerpts in a blog post. She agreed, as long as we changed the names of her and her husband. Read on:
Like I said two blog posts ago, it's fairly well-known that quality dark chocolate creates feelings of satisfied contentment, very similar to the same feelings created by great sex, orgasms, and/or an intimate session of snuggling and affection. That as a culture, we turn to chocolate unconsciously for those feelings when they are not available to us in human interaction form. I also talked about food for sex in this blog post.
It dawned on me one day, after eating a whole bar of Jacques Torres' "Wicked" dark chocolate that those yummy feelings it gave me, more dramatically than other chocolate sources that I can remember
For those new to my blog, I write on my sex life because many of
us need only read of an example of what really is possible or that
they'd never thought of. It so often lights a fire inside to "want to
feel that." To want to learn how to make sex better, maybe for the
first time in their lives.
It wasn't the first time Lora and I'd been together. We'd played with just gloved hands and condomed blowjobs once before. She sent me a text a week later saying,
"Heya-- you got a compliment from the bf today. He says my bj skills have improved notably since you. Kudos. :)"
I was walking Phineas this morning when a beautiful young woman walked up and gushed over my dog's supernatural cuteness. We'd talked before, she'd gushed before, so this was our round three. We'll call her Raven. This time Raven asked me what I do, eyes and hands down at the ubercute dog in my arms.
"Well, I'm a sex life consultant."
Her head jolted up with wide, excited, brown eyes behind her stylish sunglasses. Raven and I had a conversation with words to the effect of:
"Wow, really? Awesome. My friend is going to become a sex therapist."
I said, "Yes, that's psychology's sex wing. I don't do psych."
"What do you cover then?"
Here is a question that I answered via email from a woman who attended my food and sex co-presentation. I'm planning on making an audio version for sale too. I listed this position on the PowerPoint slide we used for suggested positions, however, the presentation moved on before all the positions could be described. The "right angles" position was one of them. We'll call the woman asking the question Sienna. Her reply to my answer is below as well. The pic I used for this blog post is from Sex For One from a drawing by my mentor, Betty Dodson. She and her late webmaster, Grant Taylor, counted this position among their favorites.
Here is the info and signup page for my co-presentation on food and sex with Meredith Sobel of www.sobelwellness.com. She's a recent friend who approached me for part two to her first well-received workshop on how sex and food go together. The only issue was a fair number of people got back to her and said the sex info could have been richer, more robust. Like a Sicilian marinara. So Meredith called me. ;)

Eric believes that for the majority of people, appreciation for our partners through shared affectionate touch and great sex is one of the best sustainable resources there is to continuously renew love, connection, and attraction between partners, spouses, and the relationship to one's sexual self. It's what makes the hard times not nearly as divisive as they could be. It makes partners into lovers, not distant roommates. It creates real confidence, not imagined, and makes us feel alive and vital.
