On The Dr. Susan Block Institute

 Dr. Susan Block

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 Calls with Dr. Suzy

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? Find out in this vintage clip from the “SEX CALLS” broadcast archives of The Dr. Susan Block Show (circa 1998). This is NOT a call with actual therapy clients; those are absolutely private and confidential. This is a caller on our live Saturday night live show. For more information, call us at 626.461.5950.
