Collected Sexual Intelligence: 2000 - 2001

Sexual Intelligence is a monthly electronic newsletter that delivers media critiques, social commentary, and political insight, all focussed on sexuality. It's edgy, funny, and smart--exactly what you'd expect from Dr. Marty Klein.

If the topic is sex, and the story's important, it's discussed first in Sexual Intelligence. Readers have been among the first to hear about "women's Viagra," cybersex, the government blockade of RU-486, internet filtering, National Masturbation Day, and Alabama's criminalizing of vibrators.

This collection--2 years of Sexual Intelligence--will entertain, inform, and challenge you. Occasionally it may even annoy you, but you won't be bored. And you'll have plenty of fun, reading about male nipples on TV; Oscar-night dresses; clitoral suction devices; motel sex in Utah; Holland's nude tele-sales workforce, and more.

You can't have too much Sexual Intelligence!

The Erotic Prism: New Perspectives on Sex, Love, and Desire

Fed up with self-help that doesn't help?
Tired of worrying that you're not normal?
Need a sexual philosophy that fits your values?

You need the Erotic Prism--a new way of looking at sexuality and intimacy.

Today, Americans know more about sex than any people in history. And yet, most of us are confused, frightened, and frustrated about our eroticism.

Suspicious that "more romance" isn't the answer?
Wish that men and women came from the same planet?
Want an alternative to "sex is dangerous" or "sex isn't that important"?

The Erotic Prism is for you: 52 informal essays about every aspect of sexuality--all refracted through a positive vision of sexual health, intimate possibilities, and joyful relationships. Topics covered include your conditions for good sex; adult toys; saying no; myths about intimacy; anger & jealousy; painful sex; and erotic trust. As a bonus, each essay is followed by three tips--practical advice and wise reminders to keep you on track.

If you're tired of seeing sex in black and white, get the Erotic Prism.

Let Me Count the Ways:
Discovering Great Sex Without Intercourse

This book challenges how our culture thinks about sex. It shows how medicine, law, religion, and even psychology perpetuate what Marty calls America's Cult of Intercourse.

You'll read about the dynamic opportunities for pleasure and growth created by de-emphasizing intercourse. But the book won't help you feel more sexually normal: seeing the very desire to feel normal as fundamental problem, it will help you not care about being sexually normal. This is a radical departure from today's pop psychology and self-help.

The book also speaks to the sexuality of those who are older, or who have chronic pain or other health problems--as well as to couples who are bored, self-critical, or inhibited.

"Let Me Count the Ways is the best guide available for thinking for yourself about sex."--Shere Hite

Your Sexual Secrets

Your Sexual Secrets:
When To Keep Them, When & How To Tell

This book addresses one of the most common aspects of sexuality: what we hide. Marty's research showed that virtually everyone withholds sexual information from their partners.

Whether your "secrets" are about past lovers and activities, current preferences and fantasies, an STD or abortion, fears of not being "normal," or simply the way you wish your partner would caress you, this book will soothe you, help you decide whether or not to discuss what you've been hiding, and then provide ways to communicate (if you choose to). Loaded with fascinating stories from Marty's clinical practice.

• TAPE 5: Power, Anger, Trust, & Communication (3-tape set)

Therapists see unresolved power issues all the time--for example, when clients are passive-aggressive, break agreements, or withhold sex. Chronic anger often results, which makes trust difficult to maintain. In such an environment, couples refuse to compromise, partners lie or keep secrets, and relationships lack the good will necessary for self-soothing. This workshop examines how power, anger, and trust issues interact in couples' systems--and how this can make communication impossible or even counter-productive. Topics include:

* Configurations of power/anger/trust
* How clients express power dynamics
* Distancer-pursuer couples
* Agreements--keeping, breaking, discussing
* Why sexuality involves power dynamics
* Working with raging couples
* Empowering wounded clients
* Therapists' myths about communication
* How therapists collude with victims
* Transference & countertransference
