Wiley-Blackwell-Sex-Encyclopedia

 Los Angeles, California: May 21, 2015—The Dr. Susan Block Institute is proud to announce that its director, Susan M. Block, Ph.D., is among the top contributors to a historic work on sex and culture that sets a new standard in knowledge-based academic publishing: The Wiley-Blackwell International Encyclopedia of Human Sexuality.

Like the Wiley-Blackwell International Encyclopedias of Human Evolution, Health, Political Thought, Literature, Sociology, Social and Political Movements, Globalization and many more, the new Human Sexuality Encyclopedia is a “comprehensive A-Z reference” that will be utilized in schools, universities, libraries, research centers and other learning institutions around the world. An online version of the Encyclopedia is available, as well as the three-volume print set.

Edited by distinguished Professors of Anthropology, Patricia Whelehan and Anne Bolin, with contributions from an international team of top scholars and practitioners, the Encyclopedia of Human Sexuality contains “over 500 entries that define sexuality from a broad biocultural perspective and show the diversity of human sexual behavior and belief systems… ranging from short definitions of scientific, clinical, cultural, and colloquial terms to extended explorations of major concepts…[covering] 13 key areas of content, from clinical medicine and body modification to the language of sexuality and the history of sexology.”

Dr. Susan Block wrote three of the Human Sexuality Encyclopedia’s “extended explorations” on “Sexual Fetishes,” “Phone Sex” and “Striptease.” She also wrote two shorter entries on “Spanking” and “Cuckolding.”

“These subjects are close to my heart and work as a sex therapist,” says Dr. Block, a graduate of Yale University with a Ph.D. from the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality. “They’re rarely defined in an academic framework, so I’m honored to be able to present them to students, scholars and researchers in this great compilation. Sex education takes a leap forward with the publication of the Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia.”

Susan M. Block, Ph.D., a.k.a. “Dr. Suzy,” best-known for her groundbreaking HBO specials, is a leading international champion of sexual freedom and sex education, as well as a pioneering advocate for the preservation of the inspirational and highly endangered bonobos. An award-winning author, her latest, highly acclaimed book is The Bonobo Way: The Evolution of Peace through Pleasure. Every Saturday night, she hosts The Dr. Susan Block Show live, and she is the founder of the new social media site Bonoboville.com, as well as one of the founders of Sex Week at Yale in 2002.But she’ll never quit her “day job” as a sex therapist in private practice. As director of the Dr. Susan Block Institute for the Erotic Arts & Sciences, she is advisor, educator and therapist to thousands of men, women and couples around the world, from the CEOs of Silicon Valley to the sheiks of Riyadh, Hollywood stars, Washington politicians and the folks-next-door, helping people to express, explore, enjoy and take responsibility for their sexual lives.

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.
