The Non-Existence of the 50 Plus Year Old Woman in T.V and Film: Our Stories

I must admit the slow down of COVID-19 lock-down was a welcome break, albeit I was still working (grateful). However I didn’t have to tackle the morning commute – traffic or subway breakdowns.  There was stillness in the air, a calm energy that was different.

What is the Sexiest Thing about a Woman? Confidence.

By Dr. Stephen de Wit What is the sexiest thing about a woman?  What do men want?  How can I turn my partner on?  These questions are a staple of my life as a sexologist and seem to be permanently tattooed on the inner walls of women’s minds, and for good reason.  The answer is not something easy to obtain, it is not something on your body that can be augmented or reduced, it is not a…

The Man, the Myth and His Penis

“It’s a foot long, hard as a rock and will knock your socks off”  – the myth of the penis.  Men and women have come to expect so much from this organ that when it does not “perform” up to its expected proficiency there is great weeping and gnashing of teeth. Well maybe not weeping and gnashing but some serious anxiety usually results. As an adolescent the issue is not getting it up…

Bad Sex Sucks. What's Your Sexual Fingerprint ?

Let’s face it, bad sex sucks! There are no two ways about it. You know that awkward, uncomfortable feeling that comes over you afterwards. You know it was bad. Your partner knows it was bad, but you don’t want to say anything to offend your partner. So you just pretend everything is normal.

Sex: Better When Wet

If you’ve ever attended one of my workshops or educational seminars, you’ll know that one of the first rules of sex is lube, lube, lube! Along with an open mind and honest communication, lube is fundamental to both safety and pleasure. There is just so much more you can do in terms of stroking, pulsing, squeezing, twisting, rubbing and kissing when you’re both nice and wet. Not only does…

Bad Sex? How to Talk about It.

We have been taught that sex is something that can only be discussed in certain areas, with certain people or groups and at certain times – from a young age we have been wired to withhold. It is no wonder it is difficult to talk about sex with our partners!  Today, right now, is the time to rewire, reboot and resuscitate your sex life. It is strange that something that so definitively and…
