I have helped hundreds of men, women and couples overcome the most common obstacles to good sex and deep intimacy. As a surrogate partner I take a hands-on approach to addressing anxiety, body-image issues, sexual dysfunction, communication difficulties, and other common problems that hinder intimacy. I am also an expert on alternative sexual lifestyles and safer sex. I have appeared on Larry King Live and other major media and have spoken at events, conferences, and colleges across the country.
