There’re not a lot of things in life that make me uncomfortable. I have been asked just about every sex-related question you can imagine, often addressing topics that are wildly outside my areas of expertise — the difference between sociologist and (I assume) psychologist are often a bit unclear in
At the very end of last year, I corresponded with a writer called Jeroen Zuallaert. Zuallaert explained he was a journalist working for the Belgian news magazine, Knack.be — with a readership “at about 95.000, [they] are the leading news magazine in the Benelux countries.” The Benelux Union is a political and economic coalition of
I once again got to organize and moderate the Mindbrowse.com live broadcast discussion event held during XBIZ 2019. This year’s topic was about consent — before, during, and after performers’ time on set. Here’s something I said about it: “This year’s Mindbrowse event was both rousing and eye-opening. It’s not
Another AEE has come and gone. I had the great experience, as per usual, of moderating a panel at the show this year. It was called “What’s the Big Idea: AEE’s First Annual Disruptors Panel.” Here’s my introduction for the seminar — short and sweet! A disruption is often thought

As per usual this time of year, I am contributing to the Mindbrowse.com discussion event happening at XBIZ. This year’s topic is about consent — before, during, and after performers’ time on set. Here’s some press details about the event: January, 2019 (Los Angeles, CA) — Mindbrowse.com and Sssh.com are
Back in October (!!), I corresponded with AnnaMarie Houlis, who was writing a piece for SheKnows regarding diminishing sex drives. Namely, is it the fault of social media?

It’s a(nother) new year… From all the promise to all the anxiety, a new calendar year always seems to bring up… stuff. Regardless of what it brings up for you — which, I hope is good, positive, and productive — 2019 is upon us. We can all do well to
