Hello one and all!
Welcome to my weblog.
in the upper left-hand corner, you'll notice a place where you can ask many a question anonymously.
And here is where I will answer them publicly.
Don't worry, you're safe here.
It's what I do.
And if you want more, I'll be on KKFI 90.1 this Wednesday at 10:30 with Mark Manning to discuss sex and spring. You can find my whole schedule on the Wink calendar.
Never be afraid to ask.

I AM NOT A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
Hello all.
I had another article ready to run, all happy and fluffy about a lovely topic, but for the next 48 hours, I need to run the following piece:
I AM NOT A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
I AM NOT A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
I AM NOT A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
I AM NOT A CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST
In an article in today's KC Star, the reporter has me quoted as saying I'm a clinical psychologist, which I NEVER did, have, or will.
I am a clinical SEXOLOGIST
I have said it a million times.
It's all over my website.
It's in every article I've ever written or written about me.
And the KC Star will be printing something to that effect ASAP, I'm sure of it.
I want to take this opportunity to apologize to the APA, and AASECT for the KC Star's oversight. I never claim to be what I'm not.

OUCH!!!!! that hurts!!!
Sex. One of the few languages we all speak. It's supposed to be fun. It's supposed to be comforting.
But sometimes, it's just so darn painful.
An estimated 40-48% of women have to deal with some sort of sexual dysfunction. (1) That can range from "Honey, I'm not in the mood. EVER!" to more serious problems (post-chemo, hysterectomy, etc...)
But what if it just hurts?
No, there are some times in a woman's life where it's just uncomfortable. Immediately after childbirth, not such a hot idea. Super dry vaginal day? Also, unhappy place to visit.
But for a HUGE part of the female population, sex is just painful. It hurts, and nothing seems to make it better.
It's called vulvodynia, also known as vulvar dysesthesia. And it can be frustrating for both women and partner alike. Vulvodynia is characterized by itching, burning, stinging or stabbing in the area around the opening of the vagina. (2) If it's only provoked by penetration, it's got another name, vulvar vestibulitis or vestibulodynia.
Aren't you lucky, you all get your own name for your super-sucky condition.
Good news: there are multiple types of treatments available. So if one doesn't work, you can try another one.
Bad news: Scientists are not sure of the cause, and sometimes not a darn thing seems to help.
Many doctors will tell you that only a combo of medicine and potentially invasive surgery are your only route. these are fine routes to go, but if nothing seems to work...
*Know that there are other options*
A new technique, called the Wurn technique, is causing ripples in the sexual community. Why??? Well, it's good that you ask.
Originally, it was used to help infirtle couples concieve, but the side effects proved beneficial for women who also experience pain.
What is it??
Think of it like a physical therapy for your lady parts. the therapist manipulates your internal and external reproductive organs, hoping to alleviate any adhesions that may have formed. Since adhesions can form very simply and are often undetectable, many women are surprised at how effective the treatment really is. You can learn more about the treatment on a variety of websites, or check out the official website at www.clearpassage.com.

there's a first time for everything!
Well, I'm finally here!
I feel like I'm at my first AA meeting.
Hi, my name is Elizabeth, and I'm a sexologist.
I have officially lost my blogging virginity, but it just seemed like time. Every day, close friends and aquaintences who know what I do come up to me with the most interesting questions, and so many are relavent to a *huge* population.
So this is what I do. All day long. Answer questions about just anything. I'm like a young Dr. Ruth. Without the Israeli sniper skills.
So, what do you need information on? What are not afraid to ask? Because, believe me, I'm not afraid to answer.
you can also e-mail me, for confidentiality.
