The National Enquirer's Story On Charlie Sheen's HIV Status Endangers Public Health
Earlier today, The National Enquirer reported that they'll be releasing the story of Charlie Sheen's "explosive secret" that he has been "hiding from the world". They claim that "decades of debauchery have finally caught up" to him and connect his HIV-positive status with years of womanizing.
Regardless of whether their story is true, it is not only a violation of his privacy, but a public health threat in and of itself. For starters, his "explosive secret" and so-called cover up are not part of a scandal, but a matter of personal medical privacy. And decades of "debauchery" and "womanizing" do not inevitably result in HIV transmission.
Transmission can occur in a single sexual act as well as through other activities than involve the exchange of vaginal fluids, rectal fluids, seminal fluids, blood or breast milk. It’s stories like these that further stigmatize HIV and other STIs and put the public at risk under the farcical guise of journalism and public interest. By outing...
Are All Women Lesbian or Bisexual?
Sometimes researchers break the mould and get it right — other times their claims simply don't add up. Jess examines a study which concludes that women are never heterosexual based on their pupil dilation response to sexual stimuli.
Check out the video and read through her additional notes below.
Jess has some concerns about this study’s findings:
- Pupil response doesn’t necessarily indicate sexual arousal or attraction. It’s possible that sexualized videos of women draw more attention and alertness - not necessarily arousal in all cases. Our pupils do dilate when sexually aroused, but their dilation is really by-product of the nervous system processing information. They dilate in response to light, in response to challenging math questions, in response to images of war. Their dilation is considered part of a fight or flight response.
- We create more space for female sexuality to be fluid, so it’s possible that...
A Peek Inside A Sex Club

We are a members-only club. We are very private, professional and confidential. We do have a Meet and Greet every third Friday of each month. Entrance is complimentary and no membership is required.

Should We Be Having More or Less Sex?
This morning on Global TV’s The Morning Show, they ponder the question: should we be having more or less sex? Terry Crews and his wife, Rebecca King Crews attribute a boost in relationship satisfaction to a 90-day ban on sex while Natasha Bell of The Telegraph insists that having sex with her partner within the first hour of arriving home is the marriage-saver. Check out Dr. Jess’ thoughts below.
- Absence builds desire
- When your usual stimuli are absent, the brain cultivates new stimuli (i.e. you’ll...
What’s the Most Important Thing You Can Say to Your Spouse?
Today on The Global Morning Show, Jess, Liza and Jeff discuss the role of gratitude in maintaining happy, harmonious relationships. A recent study suggests that simply saying “thank you” can create a relationship safety net to ward off divorce during times of distress. Another study examines “ambivalent” marriages and the toll they might take on couples’ cardiovascular health. Jess shares strategies for improving your relationship through simple gratitude practices that take less than 30 seconds per day.
Up Close and Personal With The Semenette
Last month, I had the pleasure of attending and speaking at the Sexual Health Expo with Astroglide in New York City. I had a blast all weekend long and ran into old friends from Desire Resorts, The Pleasure Chest NYC and We-Vibe to name a few. I also had the pleasure of meeting a host of new folks including Stephanie Berman, President of Berman Innovations, LLC and creator of The Semenette. I was so excited to learn more about their new product and am pleased to feature an interview with Stephanie below. Please check it out!
What inspired you to create this product?
In the past, in my personal life, I have had relationships with both men and women. Having experienced intimacy with both "sides," I have a keen understanding of the differences between what heterosexual couples and same-sex couples can do and experience in the privacy of their bedroom. My inspiration in designing and developing The Semenette® was to afford same-sex couples the opportunity to mimic the...
