This morning I woke up to a thunder storm with rain so heavy I thought it must be ice.  By lunch, the sun was bright and the birds were singing.  This is the time of year to when nature shows its power and comes into bloom – and she has the same effect on our relationships!  There’s no better time to join a workshop, mentorship group, or call-in and start enjoying the healthy joy and renewal of spring in your relationships.  I hope to see you soon!

*SPECIAL OFFERS On Tele-Group Registrations*

Sex-Positive Professionals’ Tele-Group
This February I will be launching my professional mentorship group for current and aspiring sex-positive professionals.  Members will be invited to join monthly group mentorship calls, receive individual progress-boosting calls with Dr. Ruthie, and can participate in our private online community.  This is a rolling group, meaning that members may join at any time, provided the group is not full. However, to help us get a strong start, I’m currently offering $25 off the first 4 months for those who register in time for February’s monthly group call!  Read more about the group, then give me a call to learn how you can join.

Certified Orgasmic Tele-Group
The Certified Orgasmic group is a special women-only community dedicated to finding your orgasms and enjoying them with ease and pleasure, both by yourself and with partners.  This group meets twice monthly and also includes monthly private calls with Dr. Ruthie to focus on your personal progress points.  This is a closed four-month program, meaning that each group is small and new members are not admitted once a group begins.  Group calls are held over the lunch hour and are also recorded so members may listen and participate at any time.  The next group is scheduled to begin in April, but those who register and pay in full by 2/28 will receive two free private sessions to thank you for your early registration.  Contact me directly to learn more about this group and inquire about registration.

 


Sometimes, we sex educators get a little bit bummed about the popularity of “How to please a man”-type workshops.  While this is certainly an important thing to learn, I’m in favor of everyone being pleased.  Ladies, you might be surprised how often I hear from people of all genders, looking for tips on how to please their female partners.  For some reason, these folks don’t tend to show up to workshops, but I know you’re out there looking for the information, and I’m glad you are.  For all of you who proudly proclaim “Ladies first!” these tips on cunnilingus are just for you.  Thanks so much to FunWares for making this educational series on sex and pleasure possible!

 

Continuing the video series from last week, Dr. Ruthie is back to give you even more ideas for fun and intimate positions that won’t put too much strain on your body.  Thanks so much to FunWares for making this educational series on sex and pleasure possible!

 

Sex can be fun, intimacy-enhancing, relaxing, exciting, draining, and have tons of other effects on us.  It can also, sometimes, be strenuous!  Sometimes we can find it hard to find a position that not only feels good, but that we can hold and move around in comfortably without straining or wearing ourselves out.  Lucky for you, Dr. Ruthie is here to share some comfortable sex positions that will help you and your partner get your groove on without throwing your back out.  Thanks so much to FunWares for making this educational series on sex and pleasure possible!
