Published in 2012, Ecstasy is Necessary: A Practical Guide is Barbara Carrellas’s third book, but the second book of hers I’ve read. I read Ecstasy is Necessary about one year after reading her other book Urban Tantra. As a sexologist, I read so many things about all things related to sex and sexuality that it […]

Book Review: Why Men Marry Bitches by Sherry Argov

Posted On: January 8, 2017

I’ve read this book before, including Sherry Argov’s other book Why Men Love Bitches. I decided to re-read this book before giving it away – I’ve had to downsize my out-of-control library. This is, after all, a New York Times Bestseller and it doesn’t hurt to be reminded of some dating fundamentals being a sexologist. […]

Book Review: Getting Naked by Tamra Mercieca

Posted On: November 13, 2016

After reading Merceica’s first book The Upside of Down, I immediately plunged into her second book Getting Naked: The Dating Game. I had assumed from the title that it would contain dating tips, techniques and know-hows. Instead it contained the juicy details of Mercieca’s dating adventures. Published in 2011, this book gives us a glimpse […]

Book Review: Urban Tantra by Barbara Carrellas

Posted On: October 23, 2016

I am a fan and student of Barbara Carrellas having attended her Urban Tantra Practitioner training in Australia a few years back. Even though I am a sexologist by training, I did not receive tantric training as part of my doctorate in human sexuality. Lots of people assumed that a sexologist would be well versed […]

I’ve been a fan of Kute Blackson for a while. He is a charismatic teacher, speaker, and entrepreneur – not to mention good-looking and charming. From the videos of him I’ve watched, he’s always energetic, animated and inspirational. His positivity and energy seems to flow out of those videos and leaves you feel motivated, more […]
