Each Monday morning, Rick Davis who coordinates my social media, look at what is my weekly Theme.  This week was Seeking / Searching.  Then I started looking at all the people and events in my field that have Inspired Me because people often ask me "What inspired you to work in sexuality?'  Answer - the people who told me how my work had impacted them and their relationships.

I am so so inspired by heart and passion.  By people who don't hear "No, Can't Happen, Who do You Think You Are?" when their heart's voice says Keep going you're right.  I am inspired by my colleagues who keep me accountable.  My peers who have come form very disparate backgrounds to create new ground breaking toys and products that have contributed to people's sexual connection and pleasure.  Tom Stewart - Sportsheets, Tiffany York of MyFixsation, Etahn Imboden of Jimmy Jane, Jackie Brandwynne of Very Private Inc, Tony Levine of Big Teaze Toys, Bruce and melody Murison of Standard Innovatons taht created the first couple's vibe the We-Vibe.    From a former marine to industrial designer to consumer products guru to electrical engineer none of these people started in the area of sex enhancing products yet their inspirations were tied to them not finding what they wanted and needed. 

I am very inspired by people who have the strength to standup even when their beliefs aren't popular.  Greg Paulk who rescinded his Ex-gay Reparative Therapy stance, Matt Moore who shared he knows it's impossible to change yourself and still struggles with blending his faith and not acting on his homosexual attractions, Brain McNaught the Godfather of Gay Sensitivity who is known worldwide for his Corporate Diversity Trainings.  Dr. David Satcher who would not back down on his Surgeon-General's Call to Action on Sexuality under the sexaully repressive politics of the Bush Jr White House. 

In closing I am inspired by the Elizabeth Smart's John Hopkins presentation this week was so powerfully highlighted that comprehensive sexual education is needed.  This is one very strong, brave young woman.

An article earlier this week about the former poster boy for Reparative Therapy Ex-gay Leader John Paulk reversing his stand on this therapy spurred me to ask my terrific colleague Dr. Winston Wilde to shine a light on Reparative Therapy.  Especially in light of a California Bill SB-1172 Sexual Orientation Change efforts.  This bill was signed by Gov. Brown September 30, 2012 and point 865.1 specifically states it is not to be administered to anyone under 18.  

Then the day of this interview Matt Moore referred to as the ex-gay Christian Blogger was exposed to have been on the gay dating site Grindr.

Dr. Wilde feels it s important for our professional peers to create a policy statement about this form of therapy.  What is it?  Does it actually work?  What is the science behind it?  Are trained professionals doing this?  Why wouldn't Michelle Bachmann and her husband talk about their use of it during her Presidential campaign?

WInston WIlde - 1999 Doctor of Human Sexuality: Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality, San Francisco. 1997 Masters in Clinical Psychology: Antioch University Los Angeles. 1995 Bachelors in Liberal Arts: Antioch University Los Angeles.   Specialization - Sexual, Erotic and Gender Minorities.

The recent Dove ad creative showing women's preception of their appeal and attractiveness had me decide to replay this segment with Dr. Linda Mona.  The DOVE ad women had no obvious body impairments yet described themselves as less appealing than a total stranger would.

So what can we learn from people with disabilities and body image?

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 needs 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 disabilities seeking knowledge about ways of enhancing their sexual satisfaction.

Infusing notions about disability into diversity education and training has also been one of Dr. Mona's career passions. She has worked on challenging traditional medical notions of disability and reframing this life experience from a multicultural lens to further understand the unique experience people with disabilities bring to any work and social context. Much of Dr. Mona’s work has been fueled by her own personal experience living with a disability and her understanding of the positive effects and the societal obstacles faced living with this diverse life experience.  In fact, Dr. Mona was selected as one of the 2009 Working Mother's of the Year by Working Mother Magazine---an award not typically granted to a working mother with a disability. She attributes this accomplishment much to the changing views of disability as a rich diverse life experience.

Linda R. Mona Ph.D. is a state of California Licensed Clinical Psychologist.
