I was pretty excited when sexologist Dr. Trina Read offered to do a short video for us about the importance of sexual health and how women can spice up their sex lives. After all, she is a renowned expert in the field as well as the author of Till Sex Do Us Part: Make Your Married Sex Irresistible.
Dr. Read also has a great website that features articles about everything from creating more sexual anticipation (remember how hot Moonlighting was before Maddy and David actually had sex) to making love in the water. She addresses serious issues like when online porn is out of control and when virtual sex becomes cheating. She even has a section entitled Fun Stuff, which includes erotic stories not intended to be read at work – although I guess it depends where you work! I spent way more time enjoying them than I should have, which is why you almost didn’t get to see this post today!
Anyway, we asked Dr. Read if she could address the 50 Shades of Grey phenomenon and talk about the growing sex toy market (which I learned about and shared with you in my 50 Shades of Grey — The Magazine?! piece). Although we do often get products to review, we did not receive a sample of the fascinating toy she features in the video. Damn.
Without further ado, here is Dr. Trina Read:

Love the fact that Dr. Read admits we talk about food and exercise when we talk about health but rarely about the healthy orgasm which lifts the body, mind and soul better than any stomach crunches can. It is the best kept beauty secret, much better than any skin product. If you are single, in a relationship or married, it’s all good. It’s all great.
It makes me very happy that you frequently share info and links about sex. The “Fifty Shades” phenomenon has been great for awakening (or re-awakening) women’s sexuality, with or without a partner. You go girls! I’m all for it!
Interesting video on a difficult topic to discuss. I assume valid statistics are difficult to get, but I really wonder how many couples, especially those who have been married long-term, have satisfying sex lives.
