I couldn’t believe the press about the idiot son of Donald Trump, the Junior, highlighted on the major news this week about his killing spree in Zimbabwe. Honestly, I used to be a fan of The Donald, as a seasoned and wise entrepreneur. I even stayed home to TIVO “Celebrity Apprentice” each week. I learned a lot about business and being a good leader. But that is in the past.

Why? Because of his idiot son’s disgusting, inhumane, entitled aristocratic self-image and absolutely appalling disregard for the life of sentient beings in the form of big game trophy animals. When I saw his proud stupid face while holding up his relic of a giant elephant’s tail, (how do you spell endangered species, again?) standing smirking next to the carcasses of his game-sporting expeditions– of a water buck and most of all (another ENDANGERED species) a leopard relative, the civet cat– I nearly vomited and then wept for hours.

from Huffpo: “I’m a hunter, for that I make no apologies,” Donald Trump, Jr. said on Twitter. “I can assure you it was not wasteful the villagers were so happy for the meat which they don’t often get to eat,” he later added.

Let them (the Trump dynasty) eat the ravaged waste from their greed and despicable behaviors. I will never watch Trump garbage again. Shame on you.

For a human take on saving and healing the elephants of this planet, please visit this friend’s website, a woman who has dedicated her life’s work to the preservation of these giants. Or watch the life-changing DVD “Ashes and Snow” and see the live installation of this artful depiction of the real lives of great animals.

I know, it’s pricey. But as I coach all of my female and male clients, sex toys are not novelties to toss out when done: They are health care investments. If you want to buy something that will NOT harm your body and a product that will be of lasting value, go with a toy like the NEA. It is powerful, fun, and effective….esthetically there are few vibes around that rival it. And, it works!
Let me know how you like it,
Love, Dr. Patti

Product Description:
Nea…the modest sister of LILY, is a slight and ornate pleasure object with a porcelain-like finish and deceptively powerful purr. Decorating the glossy exterior, pleasing to the eye as well as to the touch, are delicate floral motifs reminiscent of the Belle Poque. Ergonomically designed to accommodate all those special places, NEA is handy, rechargeable and exceedingly quiet. Comes included with gift box, charger, manual and a 1-year LELO warranty.

Although she is a true “elder” in sexology, her spunk, brilliant mind, huge heart, and endless energies keep me going for days after a mere hour together. She and I both approach the healing of sexual concerns and trauma from the medicine wheel perspective. Her work uses a holistic model known as ISIS (the integration of spirituality and sexuality) and mine is MEBES (mind-emotions-body-energy-spirit), which is a whole-person-centered, integrative and integrated model as well. Both of us have the capacity to address the 5 critical aspects of where and how our sexuality can become blocked or stuck or wounded and then  help our clients move through to their healing or wholeness. We both emphasize that the essence of the spiritual dimension may be the missing link to healing sex. To learn more about MEBES, check this out.

We are thrilled to have Dr. Ogden as one of our esteemed Master Faculty at Sex Coach University, where she leads you through an intensive course in her ISIS model, designed to train sex coaches, therapists and other healers in this unique pathway for change. Here is Gina live!!

I am always honored to be in the presence of greatness and I get such a charge for my own inspirations to do so….to learn more about the ISIS approach, go to Gina’s site here. And if you want to meet her, myself and two other amazing colleagues (all of whom will present on 4 holistic models for the healing of sexual issues) we will be speaking for 2 hours at the annual AASECT conference in June.

Hope to see you there! Love, Dr. Patti

“7 Sex Mistakes Men Make–Experts’ Sex Tips for Men Who Have Sex With Women”
…for example, “Dirty talk can be fun, too, Britton says, “if everyone’s on the same page about it.” And if you don’t like talking dirty, you can still talk sexy without being lewd.

“Telling her you want her can be highly arousing and get great results,” Britton says. “But say, ‘I want you,’ and not, ‘I want it.’ That’s the secret.”

What’s more, Britton says men should not hold back moans, grunts, and sighs. “Sounds of sex are sexy, and a turn-on,” she says. Making those noises can help both partners get into the experience more fully.

In this course, you will be assigned to watch a Hollywood or foreign film on your own in advance each week. Each of these spectacular movies tells a story and shows us characters as persons with sexual issues in a world filled with sexuality as its theme.

We will address the characters as clients: taking their history based on what they do or say, finding key assessment indicators, understanding their sexual style, patterns, and blockages to their sexual evolution, then crafting effective treatment strategies for them as though they were our own clients. This is a rich experience in spending time with a client on screen, then digging deeply into their unique sexual journey and developing a way to assist them toward sexual self-realization. For clinicians and educators, “Sex in Cinema” is a revolutionary means for finding pathways toward sexual resolution and healing. It uses key assessment and treatment methodologies, such as PLISSIT, MEBES and others.

“Sex in Cinema” meets for five consecutive weeks as a teleseminar. You call in for one hour live and share with the group on the call. And you get to earn 5 CEs toward AASECT certification or renewal. If you miss a class, you can download it on your own; of course there is nothing that can replace your input and reflection during the live teleclass. So, join us now.

Ongoing opportunity to learn about 5 amazing sexually themed films and their main characters as potential clients.
Time: These are now available as recorded classes. No live calls remain.
Fee: $250 (includes certificate of completion for 5 AASECT CEs)
Students (with IDs in advance): $150
Payment available by credit card or PayPal

This teleclass training is for professionals working with individuals or couples who present with sexual concerns, issues or dysfunctions. In each session, various models for clinical sexological assessment and treatment will be discussed on a case by case basis, such as the use of sensate focus, PLISSIT, MEBES, traditional sex therapy, Cognitive-Behavioral, REBT, Gestalt, NLP, psychodynamic and non-traditional approaches for designing and managing effective treatment plans for clients according to their specific case needs. After initial training in the variety of assessment tools and treatment modalities, which will be sent to you as part of your downloadable handouts, Dr. Britton will guide the discussion for the group, helping all to observe the story of each character as a potential client, noting aspects that can be addressed as indicators for assessment, then eliciting the process of finding strategies and possible pathways for designing treatment for that client. Participants will be expected to maintain a reflection journal, based on each film and characters, watch films on their own, and to be present for group discussion. At the conclusion, participants will: (a) be able to present insights about a “case” to the group, based on their favorite character; (b) be able to experience greater awareness, knowledge, confidence and skills in determining the most powerful course of treatment for a variety of sexual concerns; and finally (c) be able to express an appreciation for the value and impact of the use of commercial films as a pathway for clients’ sexual healing, as they portray strong role models for sexual distress and/or wellness.

What a season this is! I happen to love Oscar season. Not just because I like to sit in a theater and be swept away to another world, but because film informs our lives in such deep and passionate ways. I use film as part of my methodologies as a sex coach, trainer and professor. Movies move us at our core. Check out my ratings for the top pix and top actors this year.

Okay. Have you seen these yet?

Read my ratings: 1-5 (5 is best)

(Nominees for Best Picture)
“The Artist” Thomas Langmann, Producer (4)
“The Descendants” Jim Burke, Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, Producers (4)
“Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close” Scott Rudin, Producer (4)
“The Help” Brunson Green, Chris Columbus and Michael Barnathan, Producers (5)
“Hugo” Graham King and Martin Scorsese, Producers (5)
“Midnight in Paris” Letty Aronson and Stephen Tenenbaum, Producers (5)
“Moneyball” Michael De Luca, Rachael Horovitz and Brad Pitt, Producers (3.5)
“The Tree of Life” Sarah Green, Bill Pohlad, Dede Gardner and Grant Hill, Producers (3)
“War Horse” Steven Spielberg and Kathleen Kennedy, Producers (?)
I can’t believe this roster. The Tree of Life was a snooze, Moneyball was just okay, (still haven’t seen War Horse as it seemed to go right out of the theaters after its debut!), I loved The Help, liked the Descendants but don’t agree with its accolades, loved The Artist and adored Hugo, and of all the films nominated the single most magical was Midnight in Paris. See it for sure…..

For best actors, consider:
Demián Bichir in “A Better Life” (4)
George Clooney in “The Descendants” (4)
Jean Dujardin in “The Artist” (5)
Gary Oldman in “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” (4)
Brad Pitt in “Moneyball” (5)
Jean Dujardin won all the others and will probably pull this off at the Oscars, too. Imagine carrying a film without one spoken word; and why Gary Oldman is a shocker for one of the best sleeping medicines I’ve ever used–what a boring slow rendition of a spy thriller it was…..

For best actress, consider:
Glenn Close in “Albert Nobbs” (5)
Viola Davis in “The Help” (5)
Rooney Mara in “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” (5)
Meryl Streep in “The Iron Lady” (4)
Michelle Williams in “My Week with Marilyn” (5)
This is going to be the toughest category of all. Don’t miss any of these performances! The one I particular resonated with was Rooney; but then again, watch how Williams morphs into a dead-ringer for the troubled and gorgeous Marilyn; and and to see Glenn Close as a man is riveting….along with her co-star. Wow. Much food for thought here midst great acting talents.
More later, off to the Oscars we go!!!
