Sex Calls

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. This is NOT a call with actual therapy clients; those are absolutely private and confidential. This is a caller on my Saturday night live show. For more information, call us at 626.461.5950.
