So you think you want to teach human sexuality?  Well then pay close attention as tonight my guest Megan Andelloux and I will share the inside track on how to make a living lecturing worldwide about healthy human sexuality.

Megan's philosophy is sexuality can be spoken about and following the Hippocartic Oath answer the questions about sex and above all "Do No Harm"

ohmegan.com, Creator of Study Sex College Tour.

Megan Andelloux is a nationally Certified Sexuality Educator (CSE) through The American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists, an HIV educator and a Board Certified Sexologist through The American College of Sexologists.

Ms. Andelloux worked for nine years as a youth-focused sexuality educator in NY, RI, CT, and NJ before bringing her love for teaching at a locally run feminist sex-shop in Providence, RI. It was there that she began to notice adults did not have a space to ask questions and learn about sexuality. She also noticed adults hold many of the same questions teens do when it comes to sexual issues, and so she merged into working in the world of adult sexuality education.

Ms. Andelloux was named ” Vagina Warrior of the Year” from the Vagina Monologues for her work regarding sexual communication and fear reduction. She has been labeled by the Rhode Island press as “The Princess of Pleasure” and more recently, “The Sex Ed Warrior Queen” as she is on a mission to promote sexual health, wellness, and communication.

Ms. Andelloux lectures internationally at colleges, universities, medical schools, and sexuality institutions on issues surrounding sexual pleasure, sexual health, politics, and erotic justice. To date, she has taught at over three dozen higher educational institutions, including medical schools and Ivy league universities such as Brown, Yale, and Harvard.

She is listed on Wikipedia as an American Feminist, Writer and Sex Educator and on the Erotic Heritage Museum’s Hall of Heros, which showcases icons of sexual revolution.

She has worked full-time in the field of Sexual Education for more than twelve years.

As we approach Memorial Day I was reflecting on the service our military gives this country.  I've also coordinated panels on sexuality and disability for the Coalition to Support America's Heroes (CSAH).  I've seen how severly injured soldiers  injuries impact these service personnel's sex lives, marriages and family relationships.  Given how powerful the media's messages are I looked at, "So what recent messages has the film industry delivered about sexuality - and top on my list to look at was Sessions.  Based on Cheryl Cohen Greene's professional surrpgate partnership with severly disabled poet Mark O'Brien. 

Did Sessions get it right?  So I asked a colleague and Clinical Sexual Surrogate to give me the insider's view on this powerful and often misinterpreted part of sex therapy.  And believe you me I learned plenty myself.

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.

Wilde has lectured on diverse topics as Love, Evolutionary Sexology, Male Circumcision, and Psychotherapy with Erotic Minority Persons across America and in Canada, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Cuba, India and Nepal.
