Coach Betty and her special guest, Carol Queen, discuss the evolving culture of sex on this episode. Carol's matter of fact articulation around sex, pleasure and fantasy is so refreshing.  Why is it a powerful experience to pay attention to your sexual satisfaction?  Carol shared what she has seen for the last 20 years is a good healthy sex life allows a more loving connection, increased self-esteem, a more trusting relationship, more commitment, better health, and this is just for starters.  Listen in to the whole show below.  Carol gives us a ton of information, and also provides free sources of where you can continue the conversation and get questions answered.

After great reflection from last year’s Green Think Radio Shows, it was stunning how guest after guest, book after book, article after article showed that repairing our relationships and saving the planet begins with self-love. My mission is to help us find our greatest love of all in 2010 - SELF LOVE!

My approach to healing involves using what we have available. I will continue to explore the research on the healing powers of our own bodies, including sex…it lives within us. Check out interviews, WOA Babies (news sounds bites), and Views You Can Use Segments from 2009 and you will hear a strong argument for the healing powers of sex. We even have scientific evidence that a healthy sex life is good for our hearts and immune systems. Pleasurable and loving sex shows protection against cancers, and lower rates of depression.

So then…it is a WOA BABY that…

“Thirty-two percent of women and 15% of men lacked sexual interest for several months within the last year.” (Laumann EO, Paik A. Rosen RC. Sexual dysfunction in the United States: Prevalene and Predictors. JAMA 1999;281:537-544).

All that healing power going to waste…

Listen to this two minute WOA Baby, and let Coach Betty inspire you to have “More HEALTHY Sex” in 2010 for the sake of bringing more self-love to the planet. How about THAT?
