Erotic Talk: Overcoming Fear and Shyness
In the many classes and workshops I've given over the years on the art of erotic communication, the most common questio I'm asked is: "Can you give me some ideas on how I can get over my self-consciousness about using erotic talk with my partner?" My answer is an emphatic yes! There are several ways to help you and your partner feel more at ease communicating about your sexual needs and desires.

THE SUBTLETY AND VARIETY OF EROTIC TALK
Many people initially think of "talking dirty" when they hear the words "erotic talk". But as I explain in my book The Fine Art of Erotic Talk: How to Entice, Excite and Enchant Your Love with Words (Random House), the phrase means so much more than that.: "Words are wonderful aphrodisiacs. With words you can stimulate the pleasure centers in your partner's mind so they send shivers of sensual delight through his entire body. With words you can help her become more relaxed and receptive to your touch.

Words for Lovers: Erotic Appreciation
With Thanksgiving drawing near, I believe this would be an ideal time to discuss the role of gratitude, validation and appreciation in the art of lovemaking. Of course, when we feel validated and appreciated in any aspect of our lives it deepens our sense that we truly matter in this crazy world and that we are making a contribution to the lives of others. Yet, many of us overlook or forget to bring such appreciative expression into the intimate moments we share with our partner.

With words you can help her become more relaxed and receptive to your touch. With words you can ignite his erotic imagination or lift her to the heights of unbridled passion.

How to get started
I've always resonated with the beauty of sound - sensual voices,
delicate poetry, exquisite melodies, eloquent and expressive lyrics,
etc. This passion, combined with my training as a counseling
psychologist and educator inspired me to explore the many ways that
lovers heighten their desire and deepen their intimacy through words
and voice tone. So, several years ago, I began conducting workshops on
the topic for such diverse organizations as The Learning Annex, Ther
National Sexuality Symposium, U.C. Berkeley, City College of Sanr
Francisco, Califo
ia Business Women's Conference, Mensa, Whole Lifer
Expo and numerous educational centers and community groups. My experience leading these workshops inspired me to write The Fine Art of Erotic Talk, published by Bantam (now Random House), Your Daily Verbal Aphrodisiac and Verbal Charisma.
