Dr. Pat Allen returns for Valentine's with Dr. Marissa

Dr. Pat Allen, certified Relationship, Communication and Addictions therapist, 4-time Oprah guest (she calls Dr. Pat Comic Mother Superior ;) and now 5-time Asian Oprah guest comes back for her annual Valentine's Day (aka Single Awareness Day) interview with Dr. Marissa and brings research and human nature into the sexual attraction arena. Dr. Pat schools Dr. Marissa that one-third of men who are gigolos and one-third women are cougars because they haven't achieved balance in the addiction to dopamine. In her typical "no topic too sacred to address" manner, Dr. Pat explains why self-pleasure is God-made, that you can have a relationship without intercourse and why women need to have affection and touch in their lives otherwise they turn to comfort food and gain weight. Dr. Marissa asks Dr. Pat some questions from callers, who gives them advice about flirting and dating as a regular practice, and the difference between dating giggles and men with potential. Dr. Pat warns Dr. Marissa against spinsterhood, tells her to dance as a way to feel like a woman, and explains how relationships change after age 50. Finally, Dr. Pat shares about her new boyfriend who is 61 (she is now 81) and the 3 reasons she will not retire...because she has something to do, has people to love and that love her, and something to look forward to! Dr. Pat Allen receives Dr. Marissa's Beneficial Presence on the Planet Award again! Episode sponsored by www.SelfieStationPodcast.com/drmarissa
