Advice Goddess Radio, Tonight, 7-8pm PT: Dr. Brandy Engler, Inside The Erotic Minds Of Men (& Women)
Amy Alkon's Advice Goddess Radio: "Nerd Your Way To A Better Life!" with the best brains in science.
NOTE: ***This show is a "Best Of" replay because I've been attending the annual Human Behavior and Evolution Society Conference in Miami. New live shows starting again this coming Sunday, July 28!
About tonight's show: What do men want? In bed and out? What do women want? How does this all tie together? (And who's getting tied up?)
These are just a few of the questions I'll be asking and sex therapist Dr. Brandy Engler will be answering on tonight's show.
Dr. Engler is unique in that she opened a sex therapy practice for women -- expecting to slowly get some clients -- and quickly amassed a full list of clients: all men.
Engler and New York Times best-selling biographer David Rensin have just published a fascinating book about her sessions and her insights, The Men On My Couch: True Stories of Sex, Love, and Psychotherapy.
This is your chance to go inside her sessions -- to see into the erotic minds of men. And not pervos or deviants, but regular guys. Men we all know.
Beyond the men, we will also see into the minds of the women having sex with these men -- or refusing to -- and find out why, and what it takes to balance love and eroticism in a relationship.
Listen live (on tape) at this link at 7 p.m. Pacific, 10 p.m. Eastern, or download the podcast afterward:

Don't miss last week's show on how to parent without paranoia. On it, psychology professor Dr. Gabrielle Principe notes that the panic-stricken parental race to raise tiny geniuses is actually bad parenting -- leading to overcontrolled childhoods that have negative effects on kids' development.
Through looking at solid science on the human brain, Dr. Principe has figured out ways for parents to naturalize childhood again, so a child's environment gels with how the brain was designed to grow.
Her clearly written and dryly witty book: "Your Brain on Childhood: The Unexpected Side Effects of Classrooms, Ballparks, Family Rooms, and the Minivan."
On this show, she busts countless myths about how to raise children and lays out simple, clear advice for how kids can thrive.

If the subject can come up, what is it with married women who are wild and adventureous in their youth and then become "holier than thou" victims around menopause???? The "grandma syndrome" we call it.
Example: in college I was with a woman who wanted to be spanked and talked dirty to. Not my thing, but she was aroused so I did it. Next was hair pulling and slapping, and I began to be turned off because I thought it could all come back on me, so I broke it off. We are still friends, but she is constantly on about how every man she was ever with abused her.

That could be true. If she was abused young, she could have associated physical violence with love. It happens.

Read the book. She developed insight about what healthy relationships are. We aren't born as Socrates. Sometimes, the way we're raised causes problems. But do you correct the problems? She has. I admire her for it and think there are some very interesting insights about men and women and sex in her book.
