Sex Calls

Earning Your RED WINGS

with Dr. Susan Block

by Dr. Susan Block.

Bloody Mary in the morning? Cherry pie in the afternoon? Riding the Crimson Wave into the night and over the moon?

If you love Red Wings (hold the jalapeño), you’re already salivating. If you don’t, well, you may wish to be excused from this berry-stained episode of Sex Calls.

Though it’s gorily perfect for Halloween!

“Steve” is calling for my help with his fetish for “period sex.”  Dr. Suzy as “Aunt Ruby” to the rescue! There’s nothing wrong with having sex – even cunnilingus, aka “red wings,” as Steve confesses he enjoys – when a woman is menstruating. In fact, it can be wonderful – albeit a bit messy – especially for the menstruating woman.

After all, period cramps can be painful, and an orgasm is an amazingly effective, organic painkiller.

Parting the Red Sea with Passion…

And then there’s the almost Biblical, extremely taboo aspect of period sex which I address in my Esther Story featured in The Erotic Edge, mingling the “blood of my affliction with the juice of my affection.”

Period sex can also be a “rare” pleasure for the Bloody Mary-loving man, a man like Steve, the primal wildness, the forbidden (sometimes called “unclean“) flavors, the “war paint” aftermath and especially the earthly, womanly “scent.”  Some guys even feel it gives them super powers.

Steve’s “concern” is that he is a self-described “sexually active male,” chowing down on “red wings” at two or three different restaurants – I mean, with two or three menstruating women at a time – well, not at the same time (that would be quite the Halloween gore fest!), but within a few days of each other.

At least Steve wears condoms, but still, blood sports are inherently dangerous for a range of reasons. For one thing, it’s “unsanitary,” I caution our bloodied love warrior. It’s also rather unsafe sex. “I believe you should respect your turn-ons,” I advise, “but I also believe you should respect your life… and their lives.”

Do you think Steve is weird? Perhaps, but this Red Wing Gourmet savors the fact that not many men have a taste for strawberry tamales – partly because it makes his lovers love him even more. “You found a niche,” I concur, “kind of like ‘niche marketing’” – especially when you’re as much on the “meat” market as Steve says he is.

Nevertheless, “everything in moderation,” I caution Red Sea surfer Steve. “Be an ethical hedonist… “While I want you to enjoy your fetish, I hope you can treat these women as real human beings and not just as founts of bloody passion.”

Those last four words seem to give Steve an instant erection. Nevertheless, he agrees that a monogamous relationship would be safest for having monthly period sex with the kind of wild abandon he adores.

Like most Sex Calls, this one is timeless, though it does reference my neopuritan nemesis Dr. Laura Schlessinger.  I’m also wearing a cap HBO gave me while my HBO special (rated #1 at the time), was running, so it was probably broadcast live around 1998.

Will Steve find himself the ultimate red wing(s)? Even if he does, will he be satisfied with just one?

Fearful of Sex

with Dr. Susan Block

 

 


by Dr. Susan Block.

Angel calls in on a wing and a prayer, her soft cherubic voice as wishful as it is wistful.

“I’m fearful of sex,” Angel confesses to me, her Mother Confessor, “and I’d like to be more sexual and sensual.”

Fear and sex have had a deeply intertwined relationship ever since our prehistoric ancestors mated in pleasure surrounded by predators right up to the rampant erotophobia of our sex-negative society. Fear can be an aphrodisiac, but it can also be a passion-killer, morphing into its irritating, enervating, party-pooping cousins, anxiety and paranoia. Angel is experiencing all of the above.

Angel’s 29 years old and practically a virgin, having only been with two men, and her second, current relationship is more about exhibitionism, voyeurism and teasing than *regular* sex. She says she and her lover use condoms, but they don’t have intercourse. He also has other partners (he’s a bit of a swinger), which bothers Angel… and turns her on at the same time. Angel may be inexperienced, but she’s kind of kinky.

Anxiety or Aphrodisiac?

 

She’s also rather religious (with a name like Angel, it’s to be expected), but hers is not a typical religious household because her entire Christian family loves The Dr. Susan Block Show (guess that makes it a “family show”), especially her younger, more sexually experienced sister who likes my attitude and my “outfits.”

Speaking of outfits, it happens to be my 5th wedding anniversary (with my beloved Capt’n Max!), so I’m all decked out in my white bridal crinoline, pearls and wedding veil topped by a sparkling tiara. Its fun, but it’s also always a little scary to be a bride (or groom)!

To contrast with all that pure white, I wield a rather impure, black leather riding crop, twirling it like a baton as Angel tells me about her devout Christian Mom who actually whips her Dad as they roleplay. Well, the religious are often the wild ones. Angel’s swinger/voyeur/lover, whom she describes as the embodiment of “temptation,” sounds like a bit of a snake, and my own pet Akeeta corn snake Eve just happens to be slithering all over my body to demonstrate.

Will Angel open up despite her fear of sex – or because of it? How can such a sweet inexperienced, trusting spirit handle this seductive player who is “playing a dangerous game”? How can she explore the balance of trust and lust, exhibitionism and voyeurism, safe sex and adventurous fantasy? Watch “Fearful of Sex” and find out!

“Fearful of Sex” is a vintage clip from the “SEX CALLS” broadcast archives of The Dr. Susan Block Show (circa 1998) broadcast live from Dr. Suzy’s Speakeasy at the Villa Piacere.

Masturbation BELLY DANCE

Erotic Expression in Motion

by Dr. Susan Block.

“Dr. Block, I’m having a problem: I have to masturbate at least 10 times before I get up in the morning,” confesses a self-described “older woman” aptly named “Hot Frost” calling in to The Dr. Susan Block Show.

Wow, sounds like it takes a LOT of onanistic orgasms to defrost Hot Frost.

Of course, there’s nothing wrong with masturbation – even 10 times before breakfast – but since the sizzling Hot Frost frames it as a “problem,” I suggest she take up belly dancing.

“That is really cool!” replies Hot Frost who is actually quite cool herself, as well as, well, hot.

I’m glad she likes my idea because it just so happens that I have a couple of sexy and very sensuous belly dancers, the lovely Leela and Salome, as guests on this show, lounging voluptuously in my big broadcast bed like its King Solomon’s harem. They agree that belly dancing is a great way to express your sexual energy while you get in shape and socialize. Plus, you get to shake your booty like Leela and Salome in glittering bras and bangles.

Turns out to be the perfect advice for high-energy Hot Frost who happens to be an “erotic dancer.” Max and I invite her to visit the show, and several Saturdays later, she actually shows up, looking even sexier than she sounds… but that’s another show.

Secret Orgies

with Dr. Susan Block

Should Jessica Open Up to Her Next BF about Her Sex Soirées or Lead a Double Life?

 

by Dr. Susan Block

Jessica calls into DrSuzy.Tv with the quintessential “lifestyle” issue.

“I’ve had a couple of orgies,” she explains. Wow, 26-years-old and quite the sex party hostess!

The problem, Jessica continues, is that every time she tells a new boyfriend about the orgies, he breaks up with her.

So, she asks me, should she keep her orgiastic exploits a “secret” or find someone who will accept this somewhat taboo part of her?

To Tell or Not to Tell…

That is the question! As I see it, Jessica needs to choose between two schools of sexual adventurism, the European and the American, which break down – more or less – like this:

1) The European Way: You lead a double life and keep your extracurricular secret from your significant other. This is sometimes referred to as cheating, but with the caveat that you will do your utmost to ensure that your partner will never be confronted with the truth.  If and when they are, all bets are off. That’s the downside of doing it Euro-style; learning the truth of your partner’s lust can destroy your trust.

2) The American Way: You’re honest about your sexuality, even if it means alienating a potential partner. This might involve engaging in the extracurricular sex with them or just being open about it, even if they don’t join in. I realize that honesty isn’t all that “American” – at least not in politics – but this is how many kinky sex experts differentiate stealthy sex parties (Euro) from honest orgies (USA).

There are probably Asian and African Ways as well, but these seem to break down the basic choices open to Jessica’s conundrum.

Though I choose the “American Way” for myself and generally recommend it to others, I understand and even respect the European “double” lifestyle, despite its inherent dangers. Regardless of the way we choose to mix the flavors of our sex lives with the palate of our day to day, there will always be benefits and pitfalls.

To help her make her own choice, I ask Jessica: Are you the kind of person who likes to share what’s going on in your life with the person you love?

What do you think Jessica says? What way does she choose – European or American? Watch and find out!

Bi ORAL Desires

with Dr. Susan Block

by Dr. Susan Block

“Am I gay?” wonders Jo.

A 34-year-old woman who loves men, Jo can only orgasm when thinking about women, and only from oral sex (not intercourse). So, Jo calls me to help her sort it all out, and Oh-My-Goddess, do we!

Do YOU ever have fantasies that you don’t really want to act out, but nothing makes you climax like these taboo desires, so you wonder… should you act on them?

This is Jo’s dilemma. When she has sex with a man, she can only experience orgasm when he gives her oral pleasure, and as he does that, she imagines that her male lover is a woman.

“Does that mean I’m gay?” she asks me.

It’s a simple enough question, but complicated by Jo’s conflicted feelings. Does she *really* want to be with women, or is she enticed by the “forbidden” qualities of lesbian sex, flavored by her devout “Christian” upbringing? When should a fantasy become reality… if ever?

Is Jo simply bisexual? Bi-curious? Or does she really crave “making love to herself” – which appears as same-sex love in the erotic theater of her mind?  Is that the hidden meaning of Jo’s bi oral desires? Could real-life, shame-free self-pleasure help Jo discover her deepest orgasmic potential? Watch this riveting Sex Calls clip – featuring me, Jo and my slinky snake Eve – and find out!

Reverse Cowgirl Positioning

with Dr. Susan Block

Some Like It Hot – But Also Comfy


by Dr. Susan Block

Do you like exciting sexual positions – but also want to be comfortable?  Fiancés “Robert and Angie” both enjoy sex “from behind,” aka doggie-style. Now Robert would like to “do” Angie in a twist on the Reverse Cowgirl Position involving her sitting on top of him, her back facing his chest. However, he says, “it’s hard for her.” Actually, adds Angie, “it hurts,” and Robert doesn’t want to hurt her. So, they call me up for advice in “Reverse Cowgirl Positioning.”

Acknowledging Angie’s pain, I try to address the general discomfort and danger of Reverse Cowgirl. Plus Robert’s method of doing it gives Angie no leverage or control of the depth of his penetration. Moreover, they both agree, Robert is rather well-endowed, adding inches to the problem.

Since Angie does like sex from behind and wants to give this a try, I suggest they do it in steps, first assuming regular Cowgirl, face-to-face with Robert on his back and Angie on top, getting in the groove with lots of lube. Once Angie is very comfortable and Robert is very hard, she can try swiveling around to Reverse Cowgirl, taking her time and taking control, using her thigh muscles to adjust how deeply Robert penetrates her, so it never has to hurt.

Then… Giddyap! Ride ‘im Cowgirl!

How to Orgasm with Your Husband

with Dr. Susan Block

by Dr. Susan Block

Just because you love your husband doesn’t mean you can climax during sex with him. Lauren calls into DrSuzy-Tv with precisely that problem, and I think that the questions she asks – along with my answers – can help many couples have better, more pleasurable and orgasmic sex lives.

Lauren has a lot of questions! I try to answer them all, including:

  • Why is it that she – like so many women – can climax easily through solo sex, but not via intercourse with her husband?
  • How can you integrate masturbation into lovemaking?
  • How do you stop worrying about what society or your parents might think of you masturbating?
  • What can we do about our embarrassment, anxiety or fear of losing control – which can prevent orgasm?
  • Why do we so often hold our breath during sex?
  • How does breathing deeply *into* your pelvis help you to experience orgasm?
  • How do kegel exercises – squeezing and releasing the pubococcygeus (PC muscle) – help you to experience orgasm?
  • What is the difference between “achieving” and experiencing orgasm?
  • Is orgasm from just penetration somehow better than a clitoral orgasm – or is that just an “Old Husband’s Tale”?
  • Why is it easier for most women to experience orgasm from clitoral stimulation than vaginal penetration?
  • How important is lubrication and cunnilingus for female orgasm?
  • Why is the clitoris called the “pearl of the oyster”?
  • What is the difference between genital orgasms and “eargasms,” “toegasms,” and “nipplegasms”?
  • Why is the clitoris involved in almost any female genital orgasm?
  • How can we be more patient with ourselves and take the time we need for good sex?
  • How is couples sex an art form? A spiritual practice? A team sport?

Female Ejaculation Concerns

With Dr. Susan Block

by Dr. Susan Block

Let’s talk about Female Ejaculation. Is it real? Is it normal? Is it common? Is it *really* just a golden shower? Can any woman ejaculate? Why don’t more women actually do it? How do squirting women’s partners feel about it? On “Female Ejaculation Concerns,” Laurie calls in to ask me these questions and others about female ejaculation (FE), aka squirting – the orgasmic release of fluids from the urethra – live on the air.

“Female Ejaculation Concerns” is a vintage clip from the “SEX CALLS” broadcast archives of The Dr. Susan Block Show, circa 1998, when hardly anybody knew about FE, let alone talked about it.

We did talk about it on The Dr. Susan Block Show, and eventually I learned to squirt – live on the air – and began teaching others to squirt or help their partners to squirt. And let me tell you, it’s Holy Water, Brothers & Sisters!

Bisexual Monogamy

With Dr. Susan Block

Internationally renowned Sexologist Dr. Susan Block talks about “Bisexual Monogamy” with Alex and Mark, a young woman and man in love, both of them bisexual, yet struggling with his desire to be monogamous and hers to be free to explore other women and even threesomes.

Subjects of discussion include relationships, bisexuality, monogamy, nonmonogamy, ethical hedonism, physical attraction, emotional commitment, self-pleasure and teaching your partner how to please you: “You can give pleasure by giving freedom to be with other people,” says Dr. Block. Also intercourse vs. outercourse and orgasm repression: “It seems that you don’t want to close off your options,” Dr. Block determines, “so you close off your orgasm.”
