What Can We Talk About? Comments Off on What Can We Talk About?

You can talk with the telephone sex therapists of the Dr. Susan Block Institute about anything you like.  No topic is too taboo. Look over the lists of subjects below under "Sexual Issues" and "Erotic Pleasures," if you need some ideas. As you can see, there is quite a bit of overlap among the topics, and we deal with more subjects than we could possibly list. You may need to talk about several different subjects in one session. Perhaps you want to discuss some serious sexual issues in your life as well as enjoy an erotic phone sex fantasy. That’s fine and usually very beneficial to your sexual health in numerous ways. There are no limits on what you can discuss or how you and your therapist talk in your private telephone or webcam session. Though each one of our therapists doesn't specialize in every kind of subject, we have a large team working with the Institute, and we can almost always find a therapist suited to your specific needs and desires.

And yes, you can masturbate, if you want, during telephone sex therapy sessions. And no, despite the proliferation of interesting options on the Internet and beyond, there is no other phone sex or phone therapy service quite like ours.

PRESS TESTIMONIALS

The Los Angeles Times " Thank God there's still the world of sexpert Dr. Susan Block , who has the courage to continuously affirm her deeply-held faith in fishnet stockings and other family values...Dr. Block is one of the nation's leading sexologists, and a very bright and funny woman to boot." - Robert Scheer, The Los Angeles Times

The Wall Street Journal "Dr. Block is not a typical sex therapist. She is a Yale graduate who has lectured at the University of Southern California and been featured in documentaries on HBO. She conducts her 10-year-old program, "The Dr. Susan Block Show," while reclining on a studio bed clad in revealing lingerie... Dr. Block also can take credit for offering some prescient financial advice. While some Wall Street experts were urging investors to load up on Adelphia shares, Dr. Block was urging her audience to dump Adelphia stock 'to punish them,' she said. Adelphia has since been delisted." - Sally Beatty, The Wall Street Journal

Penthouse Magazine "Dr. Susan Block is a genius when it comes to sexual matters, and I hold her in the highest regard...She is brilliant in front of the camera. She works her audience so well as she presses her sexual freedom beliefs and sexual healing theories...Her fans adore her. She received phone call after phone call, and she responded to each one with compassion and understanding. She added plenty of sassiness and witticism too...She has helped thousands of people become more sexually satisfied through her television show and over the Internet, her books, including The Ten Commandments of Pleasure, her newsletter, and her private consultations... She is my idol." - Laura Moore, Penthouse

Newsday "Dr. Susan Block's Los Angeles sex therapy show, "Sex, Fun, Wisdom," has been censored week after week on a TV station owned by the Rigas family's Adelphia Communications. The Rigases say they are good and she is bad. Yesterday, Susan Block watched the glorious sight on television of the whole Rigas family walking around in handcuffs...She got out her statement to read to all callers: 'Beware of those who are holier than thou, f or often they are fleecers of their own flock.' " - Jimmy Breslin, Pulitzer Prize-winning Newsday columnist

Cosmopolitan "Dr. Block's cult status as an educator is enormous" - Lucy Broadbent, British Cosmopolitan

Detour Magazine "Unlike Dr. Ruth, you can actually believe that Dr. Suzy has had--and is still having--sex. Good sex." Dale Brasel, Detour Magazine

Los Angeles New Times "Dr. Susan Block licks the competition in sexual matters of all shapes, sizes and voltages." - Steve Lowery, LA New Times

Dr. Laura Schlessinger "It is unpleasant to be mentioned, even in passing, by Steve Lowery in his article about (Dr. Susan Block) a pseudo-professional 'porn queen.' It was stupefying to see my work described as 'bashes and belittles women every day' and mystifying to see myself called an 'evil scientist.'" - Dr. Laura Schlessinger, radio & TV talk show host

Sheila Nevins, HBO "Thank you, Dr. Suzy, for showing me that sex education can be sexy television." - Sheila Nevins, Executive Vice President, Original Programming, HBO

Bettie Page "Dr. Block, you have a very sexy voice."

CLIENT TESTIMONIALS

Thank you for your wonderful help and advice over the last couple of years. It's also very convenient for me to be able to call you from anywhere in the world when I travel. You've always been there for me, and words can't say how much I appreciate that. Carlo Fiorentino, Portofino, Italy

Thank you Dr. Suzy for walking me through my first real orgasm. I never thought it was possible for me. But it was great, just awesome! I'm an orgasmic woman...now and forever. Charlene H, Denver, Colorado

I fell in love with you and your philosophy of sex when I first saw you on HBO. I couldn't believe I could actually have a private conversation with you. Thank you for all your help and understanding. Donald P, Little Rock, Arkansas

You've helped me like no other therapist has. You don't waste time, you're always to the point, and for me, after many years in other types of therapy, your work has been most effective. Thanks! William Sloane, New York, New York

We have been to your group sessions several times, and it has been very liberating. The amazing environment, the people and the experience have helped us share new highs together, and gain insights into our sex lives that we had never felt before in over 10 years of marriage! Thank you deeply from both of us. Carol & Jim S., La Jolla, California

Dr Block, I wanted to express my thanks and gratitude for yours, Max's, and the rest of the Bonoboville residents hospitality while I stayed with you last weekend.  I had an absolutely wonderful time and cannot say enough good things about all of you and your work. Thank you and Max for manning the lighthouse of free speech, rational thought, and healthy self expression that you do. Especially in these times, I personally feel it is more important than ever that we have voices like yours championing the ideals of the left in the media and in philosophical thought. I am sure I will see you both again down the road.  I very much look forward to that day and until then, safe travels, thank you for everything, and most importantly- thank you for what you do. Nick C., Orlando, Florida

I just want to tell you that the Mommy Phone Sex Therapy you gave me was the best I've ever had, and believe me, I've tried over 50 different Phone Mommies, MILFs and Hot Moms over the years. At last, I can stop searching because I've found you, the sexy 'Mom" of my dreams. I will always be... Your Bad Little Boy Joey P, Kansas City, Missouri

Thanks to you, the Institute and your Squirt Salon DVD seminars, I can now squirt and squirt and squirt. A female ejaculation orgasm is quite different from a regular orgasm. I'm thrilled and so is my husband. I'm now his private squirting porn star! Mary Ann Navarro, Pacific Palasades, California

Thank you, Dr. Susan, for all your support and for opening up new horizons for me. I am very happy for this. Mohammed H, Karachi, Pakastan

You have helped me to explore aspects of my sexuality that I can't talk about with anyone, not even my wife. Harold W, Milwaukee, Wisconsin

Thank you for the awesome fantasy roleplay. I'd never played out my fantasies of being submissive to a strong older dominant woman like you, and I wasn't sure about it at first, but then I got into it, and it was the coolest thing I've ever done! Ethan J, Montclaire, New Jersey

Attached are photos from our wedding last weekend. As you can see, I'm the happiest man in the world. I'm sure you remember when I was the most miserable. Thank you for guiding me out of that period of darkness and for helping me see the light of love in my life George N, Washington, D.C.

Sex Therapy Comments Off on Sex Therapy

Need to Talk? Call Now: [callus]

The Dr. Susan Block Institute takes an integrative approach to sexuality and sex therapy, utilizing a broad variety of conventional and revolutionary techniques and therapies to help our clients find and cultivate joy, love, sensuality, sensitivity, excitement, confidence, understanding, physical and emotional intimacy, orgasmic satisfaction, positive communication, fulfillment and peace.  Usually, we take a four-pronged approach to sex therapy, involving 1) confession, 2) analysis, 3) technique and 4) adventure.

Sexual Dysfunction

The Institute treats most so-called sexual "dysfunctions," such as low sexual desire, destructive sexual habits, sex "addiction" (which we don't support as a valid diagnosis, though we understand that many people in need of help describe themselves or their loved ones as "sex addicts"), premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction,  sexual arousal disorders, difficulties achieving orgasm and other orgasm disorders, unwanted sexual fetishes, disturbing erotic fantasies, difficult-to-manage kinks, lack of sexual confidence, communication issues, dating anxiety, sexual obsession,  painful sex and sexual problems caused by stress, fatigue, change and other environmental, political, family and relationship factors. In addition, the Institute treats adults suffering from the lingering traumas and other effects of sexual assault, incest, childhood and religious abuse. Mid-life crises, infidelity, emotional affairs and empty-nest syndrome can also cause sexual problems, even "dysfunctions."

Erotic Enhancement

We also help individuals and couples, with no particular dysfunctions, to lead more stimulating, creative and rewarding sexual lives. Even among "normal," healthy people, at any stage of adulthood, sex can be a complicated subject. One person's turn-on can be another's turn-off, even if the two are in love. Career, family and relationship priorities often conflict. Infidelity, emotional affairs, mid-life crisis, empty nest syndrome can cause problems. Many sexual interests, such as the desire for multiple partners or the longing to play out certain fantasies, though not dysfunctional, can be problematic, often causing tremendous strife in otherwise ideal marriages. Many of our older clients (as well as those who "plan ahead") have greatly benefited from our Sexual Life Extension program. And then there's the challenge of making a good sex life even better: How to "spice things up" without messing up one's sexual "bread and butter."

Pleasure Sex Therapy

Institute Director Dr. Susan Block's world-renowned philosophy of ethical hedonism and the Bonobo Way of "peace through pleasure" principles are the foundation of the Institute's sex therapy system. This system utilizes in-depth Kinsey-style client interviews and analysis, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), fantasy roleplay, Masters & Johnson techniques, G-spot, P-spot and PC muscle exercises, fetish exploration systems, sexual confidence building, the "sperm wars" view of monogamy, "masturbation meditation," sensate focus touching, intercourse and outercourse, compassionate S/M and bondage play, issue-focused phone sex, transgender facilitation, erotic hypnosis and many other pleasure sex techniques that the Block Institute has used successfully to help thousands of men, women, couples and communities around the world to enhance and enjoy their sexuality in a multitude of traditional and innovative ways. This not only improves their sex lives, but almost inevitably has a positive, rejuvenating effect upon their general health, work, creativity, self-esteem, family and social relations and other aspects of everyday life.

The Therapists

In keeping with our eclectic approach to life and sex therapy, the therapists of the Institute specialize in a wide variety of areas of expertise, from sexologists like Dr. Susan Block to tantric sex practitioners, registered nurses, adult film stars, artists, educators, masseuses and sex toy specialists.

In addition to being a best-selling author, HBO personality, magna cum laude graduate of Yale University with a master's and doctorate in psychology from PWU and another doctorate of the arts honoris from the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality (IASHS), Dr. Block is a professional member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists (AASECT) and a member of the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality (SSSS).

Dr. Block also works with California-certified sex surrogates in a "triad" or team (therapist, surrogate, client) setting. In most states and provinces, "sex therapy" is not a separately licensed or regulated profession. Anyone can be a sex therapist. So it is especially important that the sex therapy client choose his or her therapist wisely.

Telephone Sex Therapy

For the privacy, discretion and convenience of our clients, at least the first three sex therapy sessions with the Block Institute are always conducted over the telephone. Dr. Block coined the term for this somewhat unconventional, but extremely effective practice, which she started in 1992, and has become extremely popular: Telephone Sex Therapy.

Many clients of the Institute find therapy by phone to be the best, most cost-effective as well as therapeutically valuable solution for their personal needs. Plus, our famous Sex Therapy Hotline is open 24/7, so you can literally call anytime you need to talk. Call [callus].

Therapy at The Institute

In-person therapy and counseling sessions for individuals, couples and groups are conducted at the Block Institute's central location in our beautiful 14,000 square-foot facility, also housing Block Studios (producers of The Dr. Susan Block Show and Dr. Block's DVD Encyclopedia of Sex ) and Dr. Suzy's Speakeasy, in the soul of downtown LA's burgeoning art, fashion and financial district. To be eligible for in-person therapy, you must first have at least three telephone therapy sessions, and you must make an appointment at least one week in advance.

The Institute also offers Erotic Urban Retreats for Couples.

Personal Touch

You always speak to real live human being when you call the Dr. Susan Block Institute. Our Sex Therapy Hotline is open 24/7, so you can literally call anytime you need to talk. The therapy starts with our friendly receptionist who will help you to feel comfortable, answer any questions about our service that you might have, and direct your call to the best therapist for your needs.

If you've "never done anything like this" before, don't be embarrassed. We all need help with sex at one time or another. Even (and sometimes especially) world leaders do. Here at the Block Institute, we've helped thousands of top executives, movers and shakers on the international stage and high achieving professionals, not to mention lots of "little guys." You can talk about anything from business relationships to love affairs, fetishes to marriages, crossdressing to cuckoldry, fears to desires, fantasies to reality.
