sex and the media

This month, you can see me in print and online in:

Shape magazine discussing Why Foreplay Matters

The Trentonian discussing Fifty Shades of Grey

The Trentonian discussing Bisexuality

(Interesting that I live in NYC, but I’ve been in the Trentonian twice this month.)

You can also stay up-to-date with me on Twitter @DrSariLocker  Here’s my Twitter page.

Thank you very much to the Cornell University Human Sexuality Collection for mentioning me in the list of Cornellians who have made a difference in the field of sexuality. I am incredibly honored to be included alongside exceptionally important people whose work revolutionized sexuality education and sexual health: Dr. Joyce Brothers, David Goodstein, Gregory Pincus, Georgios Papanicolaou.

Over the past decade, Americans have been bonkers for Brazilians – waxes, that is. Millions of women have endured the monthly torture of spreading their legs for a stranger who rips out their hair with a patch of hot wax. All to avoid the potential humiliation of a lover seeing a pube peeking out from their thong. Bare bodies define sexiness according to online porn, Carrie Bradshaw, and Kim Kardashian who boasts that her, “entire body is hairless.” Even the current Wikipedia entry for Mons Pubis features only Barbie-bare bodies.

I was recently interviewed by Salon. com about the impact that Dr. Ruth Westheimer has had on my career. It was amazing to reflect on exactly how much I’ve followed in Dr. Ruth’s footsteps. As you’ll read in the article on Salon, Dr. Ruth forged the path that allowed me to become a media sex educator. I owe her a debt of gratitude, as does everyone who appears on TV or radio to talk about sex. The interview was sponsored by Cole Haan. As that company celebrates its 85th anniversary, it is honoring icons like Dr. Ruth who were born in 1928. This series of articles on Salon is called, “Inspiration Foundations,” and it pairs contemporaries with those being honored to show the influence they’ve had on us. Those born in 1928 who are included are: Dr. Maya Angelou, Capt. James Lovell, Elliott Erwitt, China Machado, Vidal Sassoon, Dr. Ruth, Andy Warhol, and Maurice Sendak.

I was on CBS This Morning yesterday. Charlie Rose wasn’t there, but there was something almost as cuddly — puppies! They were promoting the Puppy Bowl, airing opposite the Super Bowl.
